Fox News political analyst Juan Williams is being lambasted on Twitter for his controversial comments about the tragic murder of Uber Eats driver Mohammad Anwar by two teenage girls. Williams, who co-hosts the Fox News show 'The Five', said, "I don’t think they intended to kill anybody. They were looking to have a joy ride. It just went way wrong, way out of control, and ended up in a gross tragedy."

His usage of the term 'joy ride' led to a storm of controversy on social media as users slammed him for 'sticking up for those murderers'.

Co-host Jesse Watters interrupted Williams stating that the assailants brought a stun gun which is not usually brought for a 'joy ride' .

The next “intelligent” remark that Juan makes will be his first. I’d suspect a brain transplant.

It doesn’t say he was fired from Fox.

In the real world he was hired by Fox after he was fired by NPR.

Slow-witted Juan Williams is an Affirmative Action hire for whomever he works for.

Doesn’t matter to me. I don’t watch Fox News. I fired the whole network long ago.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Everything's fine. All three parties involved are staunch demonicRAT constituencies. The "teenage girls", the driver and Juan Williams. This will all blow over in due course.

As soon as President Dr. Trump says something about something.

"Proof he's not quite as stupid as we think..."

And just when we start to believe that he opens his mouth and removes all doubt......

He was fired from NPR years ago for saying that seeing a muslim on a plane he was taking made him nervous.

That reminds me of this little gem from Je$$e Jack$$on:

“There is nothing more painful to me … than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.”

Williams frequently puts on a grimace when GG blasts him that makes him look like a vexed German Shepherd.

In 2010.

“I don’t think they intended to kill anybody. They were looking to have a joy ride.”

Well Juan, you boob, many negligent and even some intentional acts are not intended to kill someone, e.g.:

The drunk driver..
The teen gang banger firing his handgun into homes..
The hunter who discharges his rifle at movement in the brush..
The coyote who leaves young children at the border..

The list is long, you maroon.

Juan Williams is a smart, old-fashioned Establishment Liberal who is paid big bucks to play the “Bad Guy” in the equivalent of a pro-wrestling script. The politics of today’s anti-Liberal Dem-Coms are based on resentment, ignorance, violence, fraud, racism, and raw power. Williams’ unhappy job is to chum the waters by attempting rational arguments to defend irrational positions. That’s not a tribute to his integrity, and maybe he’d should migrate to Fox’s “Cashin’ In”.

The problem with these arguments is they must be selectively applied to fit the leftist narrative. If you argue nonculpability for this death, then to remain intellectually honest, you have a problem arguing that doesn’t also apply to Chauvin and that cop who accidentally shot a suspect instead of tasering him.

I would say that Juan is more dangerous in that Fox News, in their infinite wisdom, gives him a daily platform to spout DNC talking points on their highly viewed program “The Five.” He makes the show completely unwatchable for me.
