I really don't know much about Juan Williams

I get he's supposed to be the left side on the five but how does he stand it now? I counted eight lies in just the first five minutes of that show, I used to enjoy his addition during President Obama's time.

Is he still around? marybourg Oct 2017 #1
He also got fired from the WaPo for chasing women around the newsroom. GreatCaesarsGhost Oct 2017 #2
He is moderate left who can be rolled. That is why he is FOX's stooge. Trust Buster Oct 2017 #3
Juan Williams is far superior to the previous 2 or 3 "Democrats" Fox had on before. No Vested Interest Oct 2017 #4

I remember him getting an undeserved gig on NPR and losing it shortly after he had a prolonged on-air spat (and public exhibition of his lack of awareness ) when he insisted that the flower name "gladiolus" was pronounced glad-joo-lus.

Remember Pat Somebodyorother, who was supposedly a Democratic pollster? Maybe he had been, but likely decades ago, as he offered no defense of Dems.

More recently, Bob Something, who appeared to be a recovering alcoholic, and had long since given up any defense of Democrats and Democratic policies.
Then there was Alan Someone, in between the two above, who got beat up regularly by whomever Fox put him up with, and he kept coming back for more.

At least so far, Juan gives some rational explanations, and the other four don't always have good comebacks.
