Juan Williams defends Peter Fonda’s horrid tweets[snip]: Just ‘poorly worded’
BizPac Review ^ | Jun 21, 2018 | Frieda Powers

Fox News host Juan Williams was shredded when he could not bring himself to denounce Peter Fonda’s vulgar attack on President Trump’s young son, calling the tweets “poorly worded” instead.

Williams downplayed the tweets by the Academy Award-nominated actor and filmmaker despite the fact that his threats prompted first lady Melania Trump to alert the Secret Service. Fox News’ Gregg Gutfeld assumed Williams would feel simarily about Fonda’s “disgusting” rant, but his response caused a major backlash from “The Five” co-hosts on Wednesday.

In a series of tweets posted Wednesday, Fonda called for Barron Trump to be placed in a cage with pedophiles, urged protesters to surround Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents while they pick up their children from school and called for Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen to be caged, “pilloried” and “whipped.”

“I’m not going to ask you to defend this, I know you found this disgusting,” Gutfeld said to his liberal cohort.

Williams reply was surprising, to say the least.

“No, to me it was a poorly worded tweet, offensive language used,” Williams said. “But what strikes me from this very conversation is that you guys delight in it because it takes away from the conversation focusing on what President Trump did which is antithetical to American values.”

Co-host, Kimberly Guilfoyle erupted at Williams’ remarks, interjecting when he accused the panel of taking “delight” in Fonda’s attack.

“That’s not poorly worded,” Guilfoyle shot back.

‘What Peter Fonda did was indefensible.,” she said, adding that it was a “criminal sexual act by a sexual predator against a child. That’s not poorly worded.”

Juan Williams has just crossed the line into demented.

Juan is just one of those guys who prove Charles Murray right.

Yeah, as if there is some “nicer way” to say what he did.

Sort of like trying to pick up the turd by the clean end.

“No, to me it was a poorly worded tweet”

Just what is that part of the liberal brain they use for their illogical ‘thinking’?

“So ridiculous, in fact, that they had Donna Brazile sit in for him (Juan Williams) on The Five”

That is funny. Fox substitutes one token black for another.

Flip channel when he comes on. Also flip channel for Cavuto interrupts too much, Gasperino Trump hater, Watters getting swarmy in my opinion. Also Richard Fowler, Shamu Green, Cathy Azmu, Jessica Tarlov, and a few more left wingers. They are too much over the lib line.

You defame and demean all the world’s nutcases by applying such a term to Juan Williams.

Juan Williams has moved into a special category all by himself, perhaps not yet defined, of a personality that seems to LIKE being excoriated and attacked by those he is in contact with every day.

Some people will do or say anything to get attention.

It's interesting to see all of the loons of every sex and color who “occupy” the “liberal seat” on The Five. Besides having the ringside seat to ogle KG’s boobs, they are simply Borgs who rattle out Liberal pap on every issue that's discussed. They are all like “tape loops.” with no real ideas to contribute. Glad to have a mute button!

I think it’s clear that this guy’s job is to take the liberal view point in EVERY SITUATION.

That’s fine, but it’s clear to me that the guy is not very well referenced on the various subjects. I think your average Freeper is more versed than he is.

Williams is about as demented as a person can become. Even Trash has more character.
