Yep, that’s how I took Juan, too. He set up Newt so Newt could get his points across.
Anyone who doubts this should look again at the video. Juan never sounded upset or looked upset.
I actually like Juan; he’s not a rabid liberal and oftentimes will admit/agree to things contrary to his party’s stance, because he’s able to be reasonable and logical.
And the pitcher is NOT on the "other team"--though he might put on the uniform for the "game". But, as I think Juan Williams understands very well, politics is not JUST a game. It is often a matter of freedom's life--or death!
