Fox News Host Slams Trump’s Response to Charlottesville (Watch)
Variety ^ | August 15, 2017 | Erin Nyren

Fox News host Eboni K. Williams denounced President Trump’s failure to explicitly condemn neo-Nazis and the KKK in his initial statements after last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va.

Williams called out the president in her segment “Eboni’s Docket” on “The Fox News Specialists.”

Calling his initial statement regarding the incidents “ambiguous” and “irresponsible,” Williams explained that she had initially withheld judgement from Trump, but the events in Charlottesville forced her hand. She called him out for deciding that “[his] portion of the base that is absolutely racist is so significant, so valuable that [he] hesitates even in the face of blatant, flagrant hatred to risk turning them off and thereby crippling [his] political stronghold.”

Williams then categorized his actions as an attempt to calm voters upset over the “perceived depreciation of the intrinsic value of whiteness in this country,” and offered an example of what a forceful condemnation would have sounded like.....

I’ve never heard of her. But judging by her name I can only assume her hiring was the Murdoch sons’ idea with their wives’ strong encouragement.

Uhhhh, “Rob O’Neill”, the “man who killed Osama bin Laden”?? He himself has come across to me as a thorough-going phony from the beginning. A willing dupe. Another one of those “tpo-g00d-to-be-true” pretty boy types who has become a go-to guy on FOX. Someday he and the whole sham of the fake Osama death, I hope, will be exposed.

Lib affirmative action cutie with a law degree and a chip el grande on her shoulder.

She’s been feeling free to show more of her slip since Bolin was shown the door. They should give that show to Mark Steyn.

Why don’t you criticize why Trump even bothered to urge Americans to unify and come together?

You know the left wing isn’t the least bit interested in that, don’t you? Where’s your criticism of Antifa and blm? How bout Soros, where’s his “unifying” comments?

How bout the conduct and omissions of the police dept and supervisors? The Mayor and racist VM? Call him out, why don’t you? Read his tweets and statements?

Why not give Fields the benefit of the doubt? Was he being mob attacked? What would you do, Eb? Why didn’t he run up the sidewalk instead of crashing into the back of stopped vehicles?

Tell us, was anyone hurt by Antifa or blm? Did they destory someone’s property? Have you read the Constitution? Do you know what the First Amendment is? Is that restricted to one side or the other, or both?

How about acting like a REAL “journalist” and try to be objective rather than hopping on board with a biased narrative that would just assume kill you since you work for enemy Fox News?

WTFU

#19: "So did Dana Perino and Karl Rove."

I've always wondered how many pastry bags packed with ground pork could be squeezed down Karl Rove's gullet until he said "enough". I suspect it is bottomless.

Eboni Williams is a liberal gasbag.

Regarding, Rob O’Neill, I don’t know why FNC often has him on asking him questions about foreign policy. Additionally, I don’t like how he is capitalizing on his fame simply because he’s the guy who killed bin Laden. I find it unseemly and inappropriate. JMO

She’s an idiot. One of the guests was Jewish and was explaining how the Leftists in the Chicago antiZionist Jews are bad march was comparable.

Williams got all bent out of shape and basically told this Jewish woman to bugger off

She was supposed to be a "conservative"...and secondary host to emcee Eric Bolling. She talks without ceasing and says nothing of significance. Guess she thinks she can get the center seat if she is righteous enough. Without Bolling her show blows it. The only compensation was an appearance with Mark Steyn in the host's chair. I now avoid the FNC slot where The Five was.

God bless Eric Bolling.

Greg Gutfeld got his mind right and is now a full-throated Trump supporter.

“Fox News host Eboni K. Williams denounced President Trump’s failure to explicitly condemn neo-Nazis and the KKK in his initial statements after last weekend’s events in Charlottesville, Va.”

What is he supposed to condemn that is tied into their political stance. Their political stance is perfectly legal to have. And the acts of criminality are just that, the acts of a bunch of criminals. They can’t be tried for being a Nazi or KKK. Just for being criminals.

Someone give her a copy of the Constitution and Blacks Law Dictionary. Ask her to use it before she puts her other foot in her beak.

Loved Greg last night when he took down Juan. I don’t think the irritation between Greg and Juan is for show. I think it has gotten personal and is now reflecting deep sentiments. Greg isn’t going to take Juan’s supercilious, vapid “reasoned” opinions anymore. The tone Greg used was NOT congenial.

Rob O'Neill made me ill yesterday. What a wuss...no pushback, no defense, no comments (except vapid) on the anti-Trumpism going on around him in the Fox panel.

And he's a former Navy Seal...my God !

Yeah, I’m guessing not Swedish.

Of course, I’m sure she has no liberal agenda.

I don’t want to ask if Fox can get more stupid. They hired Marie Harf, after all.
