During a Sunday segment on Fox News, Juan Williams explained that the Trump shooter was a registered Republican.
For several years, Juan Wiliams was one of the few left-leaning voices on the Fox network. He left his position as one of the hosts on The Five back in 2021 but still serves as an analyst for the network.
Williams is called in by Fox for big events and the assassination attempt of Donald Trump certainly counts as one of those. The pundit, though, was especially curious about one aspect of the shooting.
"I mean," he began, "it's not only when you think about the president, former President Trump, but also the people in the audience, the people who died, and you understand the danger. It just makes you feel like the country is, the level of political polarization in the country is at a danger point."
Williams continued, "It's, I think, a reflection of the divisions within the United States today, not only liberal, conservative, but also on the extremes. This young man, they say he's a Republican."
The pundit closed, "The whole thing is just like, especially with the Internet, I think the Internet feeds a lot of the extremism that we're experiencing in the country, drives people. The politics of grievance, anger, all the conspiracy theories."
