Bream: So why don’t these members of Congress say “We completely denounce him and want nothing to do with him?”
Williams: First of all, you can’t say that. Remember in their districts – if they’re mostly Black districts – I don’t think that’s a winner.
Bream: If he’s saying such horrible, offensive things, does it matter, if it counts for votes for you? Either you think that it’s terrible stuff and you shouldn’t say it –

Williams: I think it’s reprehensible but I don’t think it counts for votes either pro or con. But I think if you want to separate yourself from someone who’s dealing with the poorest of Black America then I think that lots of Black Americans are like, well, you’re paying attention to the wrong aspect. We see Louis Farrakhan in a different light.

Juan Williams cannot even keep track of his own positions from one statement to the next. First, he says opposing Farrakhan is not "a winner" for politicians in mostly black districts, and then the very next thing he says is that he doesn't think their position on Farrakhan "counts for votes either pro or con"...
