Liberal commentator Juan Williams recently appeared on Fox News Channel’s coverage of the 2024 presidential election, in which he seemingly refused to accept the notion that President-elect Donald Trump had run an effective campaign that focused on improving the lives situation of millions of Americans. Instead, Williams maintained that Trump had a “bro strategy” that appealed to white men.
Speaking about the results of the election, Williams said, “I think that there are even recriminations now among Democrats as to Biden, and whether Biden should have dropped that earlier, or Biden should have stayed with a white male. Have done better? Obviously, Trump has defeated two women and now a black woman.”
He then leaned into the “insurrection” narrative that Trump attempted to thwart Democracy. “So there’s all these questions, but to my mind, it seems to me incredible that a guy who led a resurrection insurrection against the United States government is going essentially now, you know, like … going back into the Oval Office. It’s unbelievable,” he said.However, Williams received pushback from his co-panelists, who challenged his assertion. “You have to, you have to consider the fact Juan that a lot of people didn’t think that was an insurrection. They thought it was a riot, but not an insurrection. And had they thought there was a really as an insurrection, I don’t think he could have won,” Brit Hume said.
