(snip)-- The same radio network that suspended its news director this week for sexual harassment allegations once hired a controversial Washington Post writer whose history of sexual harassment allegations was well known.
Juan Williams, 63, joined National Public Radio in 2000 despite being at the center of a widely reported sexual harassment scandal at The Washington Post a decade earlier.
Williams now works for Fox News as an analyst.
Post newsroom employees said that Williams had, for years, commented on their bodies, asked them about their sex lives, and said things that were "lewd" and "shocking." Nancy McKeon, then the features editor of the Post Magazine, told Newsweek she remembers Williams asking women, “Did your heels hit the ceiling last night?” and saying, “Now there’s a chair I’d like to sniff” when one employee stood up from her seat.
The comments were known and were even covered by the Washington Post at the time. But NPR hired Williams anyway.
“This is ancient,” Williams said when Newsweek reached out to him. When asked if the allegations were true, he declined to answer.
(snip) --- Williams was not fired by The Post when the allegations were revealed in 1991. Fifty female employees met with then-Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. to object to the newspaper’s lack of transparency surrounding what disciplinary measures it had taken. Yet Williams was eventually hired by NPR.
*** 'He was like a serial shocker' ***
McKeon, who worked with Williams in the late 1980s, warned him several times during her tenure to “stop talking to these young girls like that" and that he'd "have a problem" if he continued. After one art director stood up from her chair, McKeon said she remembers Williams saying, “Now there’s a chair I’d like to sniff.”

NOTHING at all would have ever been "escalated" if YOU hadn't been so anal about something that was merely a simple unintended error (11/7/18 vs 11/7/17).
Do you have a hobby? If so, please indulge yourself.
Your behavior on this thread has been childishly foolish....... or much worse.
Except when it comes to him true democrat blood line.
Thanks Laz!
There is a business up here—hear commercials all the time—and it says “for more information, contact Laz”...actually, the station is out of Chicago, where I grew up. Got to love the internet! Anyway I always think of you when I hear it. :-)
God forgive me, I hope it’s true and he is ruined.
You can bank on Juan’s contributions to “One More Thing” on The Five being something to do with his family. The man overcompensates like a frightened bunny rabbit, bless his heart.
Yes, he makes that show unwatchable.
Not as much as I do.
Gutfeld’s Saturday show is great and his mountain size sidekick is very witty and comes up with some real zingers. Hardly ever watch it live but I catch it on Youtube now & again.

Yes! I love Tyrus! He is a very smart guy. I actually have a bit of a crush on him. :-)
I never would have guessed that Juan Williams had genitals.
