White Fox News Host Screams Over Black Co-Host While He Spoke About Systemic Racism

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a moment that reflects all too well on one of the ills that confronts American society and is playing out before us during the protests: a white host on Fox News decided that his Black colleague had spoken long enough while trying to make a point about systemic racism and shouted him down.

On Monday, Fox News’ Juan Williams first used the example of Colin Kaepernick’s protest and wondered if, in the face of the violence that has risen from the most recent demonstrations, whether some might reconsider his methods and not be so offended.

Williams then attempted to further his case by bringing up legitimate flashpoints like stop and frisk policies that he said “stigmatized young Black men.”

When Williams was just about to get to his point about institutional racism, one of his white co-hosts, Greg Gutfeld, had already had enough.

1. What happened? Did he get a little too close to the truth?

[Mariana]

4. That's how this show goes every day.

That's the performance, that's what the script calls for. RWers love this show because the other four are are so rude and condescending to Juan Williams, every day.

[customerserviceguy]

6. Yep

I've seen enough of the show to know that Juan Williams' role is to play tackling dummy.

[SharonAnn]

13. Like Colmes was on "Hannity and Colmes".

[Solomon]

8. Yep. It's the same thing every day. He starts killing them with facts and

then they start screaming and interrupting him so he can never finish his point.

His most repeated refrain is "let me finish..."

He's their Alan Colmes to Sean Hannity.

2. NoGutsFeld made Williams point once he started screaming.

[Archae]

18. I call him Greg Gutless.

RW "comedian" with no life outside of Faux.

3. I was actually watching that yesterday but didn't see that part

The whole point of the show was to team up on Williams. Also, as you could see at the end they’ve turned it into them in some way being the victims. It’s no longer about Floyd, it’s an attack on THEIR country.

I couldn’t watch much of that show. Mind numbing even for Fox.

5. "The whole point of the show was to team up on Williams."

That's the whole point of the show, period, every day. The viewers love it, that's they only reason they watch. They don't give a fuck about the subject of the fake discussion, they watch it to see Juan Williams get put down and disrespected. That's what they want, so that's what Fox News gives them.

7. They do it with Donna Brazile, as well

Another person willing to take a fall on TV for Fox News paychecks.

11. I thought this was legs and profiles show

That’s not why I tuned in. This is 5pm Eastern fox programming?

[customerserviceguy]

14. Yes, it's a show

called "The Five" where one hired progressive tackling dummy has to go up against four arch-conservatives, including some of Fox News' info-babes. I tune in every once in awhile to see how they are trying to spin the news for the consumption of true believing MAGAts.

[underpants]

15. I was surprised to see Pirro in the daytime

Dana Perino 🥺 don’t even get me started.

[customerserviceguy]

17. They probably

have trouble keeping a constant staff, only Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters seem to be constantly on when I happen to watch. With Fox News on-camera people working from home, it is possibly easier to get someone to report for work when there's a vacancy.

9. Thanks. I don't watch this trash so had no idea group attacks

on the outsider who wandered into the wrong bar was the entertaining theme of one of these shows. Figures. A psychologist who's studied strong social conservatives said most are shockingly little provocation and opportunity away from physically attacking those who attract their hostility -- as long as they can attack in packs. Of course Fox would satisfy that demand.

Nice to hear about Brazile. I thought hitting bottom as a token black for Fox was too good for her, but I might have guessed they'd come up with a special bottom for people like her who'll do anything to stay in front of the cameras.

10. Nobody's disagreeing with you...

Now excuse me while I disagree with you

[roamer65]

12. I have a Dish package without that Russian agitprop channel.

Faux News hosts are Russian propagandists and I would jail them for treason if I had the chance.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Uh oh! We're getting too much truth.

Producers were probably screaming in their earphones to shut him down for not sticking with their propaganda program.
