(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 theres a chair Id 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 newspapers 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 theres a chair Id like to sniff.

Think Cover gal shep will stand by him?
Concur. Juan is an idiot who parrots (badly) the liberal talking points of the day, but the Left hates him for the simple fact he is not deranged and hateful and works at Fox.
So I dont believe any of this.
As far as I can see, they fired O’Reilly for less.
Maybe they can fire Juan and hire some other token black.
Think Cover gal shep will stand by him?

I guess that depends if he ever asked Shep if HIS heels hit the ceiling last night...

Nah, Shep will cover only for himself.
I wonder what his tone was the past few weeks? Was he kissing up hard to the Femi-dems or trying to sound reasonable?
Because of her bravery, more of Juan's victims now have the courage to step forward.

OK. Implement the Kavanaugh standard set by the Dems during the Judiciary hearings and fire him, ruin his reputation, name and family.

I'm well aware of that. So what's your point?
The story actually begins in 1991, moron.
It's been posted this morning because it is relevant to the Ford/Kavanaugh situation. Juan's been tearing down Justice Kavanaugh for weeks when he himself is dirty as can be.
Get real.
Hope he comes out and says he believes every one of these 3 decade-old claims....
_______________
I totally agree.
I was just going to ask if it’s that Nancy(Jo)!
Really Juan?
Juan Williams: Why Doesnt Trump Apologize to Ms. Ford?(Oct 9, 2018, Breitbart )

You are right about him being smart and good.
Kevin Jackson ..... is his name.
What you learn about America is people are a lot less interested in race than they are in character. Kevin Jackson, author, political commentator, and talk radio host.
“Maybe he can get a spot over at MSNBC or CNN.”
cn is where he came from before he went to fox a few years ago. The exact scenario escapes me but IIRC his departure from cnnn was a bit messy.
What was your behavior like in High School?"
____________
Maybe he sniffed a lot of chairs.
Couldn’t happen to a better guy....dump him!!

You don't believe any of WHAT?

That would be great. Juan would shrivel up and hide.
I had a bit of a crush on her in that show - (sort of a tom-boy iirc)/
My wife said “Hey - your girl friend is on Dancing with the Stars - you wanna see?”
Younger than me - but even at that age I couldn’t dance like that - so good for her. And she still looks okay. But I would have preferred to remember her how she looked from 30 years ago. Of course - if my wife hadn’t brought her up, I never would have remembered her!
