As it became clear that Donald Trump would be the next president, Democrat Juan Williams tried to blame Kamala Harris' humiliating defeat on sexism and racism.
But his fellow Fox News panelists refused to ignore that excuse.
“It goes too far to think that just because a black man supports a white man, he is somehow racist.”
Williams first accused Trump of “leading an insurrection against the United States government” (Trump has never been indicted), then doubled down on the media's most platitudes to explain Harris' loss. I let it happen.
“I don't buy the idea that it was the price of eggs,” Williams said. “I'm worried that it was, 'Well, I'm not going to vote for this woman.' Or, 'I'm not going to vote for this black woman.'”
FOX News anchor Bret Baier quickly fact-checked Williams.
“No, that's not what we see in our data,” he pointed out.
When Williams tried to defend his position, anchor Martha McCallum interjected, pointing out that many black male voters “feel like the Democratic Party and the elites are prioritizing immigration.” . Undaunted, Mr. Williams responded that Mr. Trump's victory was due to “bro-strategy, white male turnout, and the politics of white grievance.”
Brit Hume hit back, pointing daggers at Williams' story, saying, “He's lagging behind the performance of white players in 2020.”
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has since said that Trump has gained support among black men and Hispanics and that there is growing evidence to disprove Williams' claims that Harris is a victim of political racism. He pointed out that there was.
Finally, Karl Rove prescribed reality to Williams.
“To suggest that a black man is somehow biased because he votes for a white candidate who says, “I want everyone to have a chance to succeed in this great economy. I want them to do better.'' 'I will do what I can to help you live a better life,' Loeb said.
“It's an appeal to their best instincts,” he explained. “He didn't go out and say, 'Vote for me because I'm not a woman. Vote for me because I'm a white man.'” They thought he was powerful and capable. They wouldn't have gotten those votes because they thought he was a good leader and would do something about the issues they care about most, the economy, which they think would benefit them. Shortstick, inflation that decimated their purchasing power, and illegal immigration that severely affected their communities. ”
“Claiming that a black man is racist just because he supports a white man is a step too far, Juan,” Loeb scolded.
Unfortunately, Williams never gave up. In the end, he argued, men supported President Trump because he speaks of women in “the most derogatory terms.”
“I think they supported him despite that. That's not why they supported him. They supported him because he offered to make their lives better,” Loeb said in a statement. Confirmed.
