About Juan Williams in brief
Juan Antonio Williams is a Panamanian-American journalist and political analyst for Fox News Channel. He writes for several newspapers, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Williams has received an Emmy Award and critical praise for his television documentary work and he has won awards for investigative journalism and for his opinion columns. He has been at Fox News since 1997. Williams was born in Colón, Panama, on April 10, 1954 to Alma Géraldine and Rogelio L. Williams. Williams is the author of Eyes on the Prize: America’s Civil Rights Years, 1954–1965, a companion to the documentary series of the same name about the Civil Rights Movement. He is a registered Democrat and has worked as an editorial writer, an op-ed columnist, a White House correspondent, and a national correspondent. He was fired by NPR in 2010 for comments he made on The O’Reilly Factor about Michelle Obama’s “stokely Carmichael in a designer dress thing going” and her “blame America” instinct. Williams wrote a column defending Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas against sworn testimony by Anita Hill charging sexual harassment by Thomas.
In 1991, several female employees of the Post had filed sexual harassment charges against Williams. The paper took disciplinary action against Williams and published an apology by him. He wrote: \”It pained me to learn during the investigation that I had offended some of you. I now know that, and I extend my sincerest apology to those whom I offended. Some observers have questioned whether NPR actually fired Williams for making the comments on Fox News, as opposed to making them in another forum at the Atlanta Press Club. William Saletan: Juan Williams’ feelings about Muslims should be between him and his psychiatrist or his publicist—take your pick—and not between you and him. Williams: I’m not a bigot. I have said so repeatedly in the last few weeks, and repeat here: some of my verbal conduct was wrong. If she starts talking… her instinct is to start with this blame America, you know, I’m the victim.
