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 - You are paid to defend the evils of society ...
Take your 30 pieces of silver and go away...
So the Left is OK with Pro-Lifers sending “poorly worded” Tweets to abortion providers like the ones we are seeing?
on the rare occasion that I watch The Five, I hit mute whenever Williams starts flapping his yap.
Amazing he has two Conservative sons.
Seems like a miracle
I do not like Juan at all.
“The television remote control Mute Button was invented for a POS like Juan Williams. “
—
The “OFF” button is even better.
.
I would not think this is possible but Juan has disappointed me
I wonder if he considered Trump’s comment to Billy Bush “poorly worded”.
“Liberalism” is becoming a synonym for “hypocrisy”.
.
Juan should be drawn and quartered.
Oh, sorry, that was poorly worded.
“Oh, sorry, that was poorly worded. “
—
No it wasn’t :-)
.
Juan Williams become ever more bizarre in his interpretations of reality, and his defense of the morally indefensible.
Peter Fonda may or may not have been under the influence of some kind of chemical disruption of this thinking processes, but as the old saying goes, “In vino veritas.”
Williams went Full Libtard after Fox hired him. He makes The Five unwatchable.
Played wonderfully by a young Bill Paxton.
Oh wait, that never happened.
“He’s watchable for one reason expose how the crazy left thinks. Like seeing a dog chase its tail.”
A dog chasing its tail isn’t calling for impeachment & gun confiscation.
;^)
He’s too ‘conservative’ for CNN... hard as that is to believe...
