Thomas was a rock in this week of hell. And Hatch was simply masterful. what a landmark for conservatives, and Black conservatives in particular.

All I can say after watching that video is, where in the hell is Juan Williams? He came out so strongly against what was being done to Clarence Thomas. Today he's silent. The only thing I could find when I did a search for Juan Williams and Judge Kavanaugh was a clip from The Five on Fox where he's debating with Judge Jeanine Pirro. Since Juan's been silent on the treatment Judge Kavanaugh has been getting, that the only reason he spoke out about Thomas was because Thomas was black. I've never liked Williams, and when Orrin Hatch was reading Williams' article, I got tears in my eyes. Where is that Juan Williams today?

Pirro vs. Williams

He was on Lars Larsen’s radio show a few days ago saying that we should “hear out” the accusations.

in the referenced sen confirm hearings 1991 & now The Honorable
SCJ Thomas was questioned by that creepy Joe Biden guy.

It starts at the 22:01 mark and then Biden goes on & on

but uses the phrase “willing vessel”

ref to Anita Hill

“Willing vessels” paid & unpaid

WOW what 2 words!!!

willing vessels!!

Avenatti & whores all willing vessels to bring down Kavanaugh

STARTS @ 22:01 mark when Biden takes over

Just finished with it and heard that part. He was so wanting for Thomas to come out and accuse Anita Hill of being in cahoots.

The Dems have lots of willing vessels. Did/do they get money out of it? Are they doing it because they want the attention? Or did/do they do it for the cause? Maybe all three.

Why was Juan Williams against what was done to Thomas? Did/does he know him personally?

I also believe that the Dems have willing vessels that would do A LOT more than just make accusations.

You know that guy is full of horse hockey... imho? he’s the kinda guy thats a flip flopper/pancake not only for making a living but political expendiency to do just that.

Anything that has to do with his income he’ll subscribe to

I have no idea. You'd have to watch the video as Orrin Hatch reads the whole article that Williams wrote. And Hatch clearly said that although Williams is not of the same political beliefs, that at least he gets it. Hatch back then said Williams was a "great journalist." In the Pirro - Williams video, Williams is bad-mouthing Hatch because he said Ramirez's allegations were phony. I doubt Senator Hatch would call Juan Williams a "great journalist" today.

I found this from Vanity Fair in 2012:

In 1980, he began writing for the Post editorial page. That December, at a convention for black conservatives in San Francisco, he met 32-year-old Clarence Thomas, then an assistant to Senator John Danforth of Missouri. An op-ed column Williams wrote praising Thomas—whose conservatism was, Williams wrote, “born of the same personal anger at racism that fired the militants of the 1960s”—called him to the attention of the Reagan administration, which led to his first presidential appointment, which effectively led to the Supreme Court. (In 1987, by which point Thomas headed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Williams profiled him in The Atlantic. The notoriously wary, reclusive Thomas opened up to him: what resulted was by far the most probing and insightful piece about him ever written. Williams and Thomas have remained friends and still lunch together occasionally; Thomas attended Williams’s 50th-birthday party.)

Most likely because Justice Thomas is a black man and Juan did not like what was being done to him. Took it more personal than Judge Kavanaugh today.

So accuser Blasey-Ford is deathly afraid of flying, okay. And she lives in California. But the month before she lets her accusations fly, she is polygraphed in Baltimore AT THE AIRPORT HOTEL..?!

Juan Williams is an ethnic bigot; with him it is black first and foremost. The ONLY reason he showed any compassion for Clarence Thomas is because Thomas is black.
