Former ‘The Five’ Co-Host and Seemingly Bitter Juan Williams Lashes Out at Donald Trump in ‘The Hill’ Op-Ed, Says ‘Don’t Swallow his Poison’

The former co-host of “The Five”, Juan Williams wrote an op-ed titled “Don’t Swallow his Poison”. In the op-ed Willams blames Trump for the country’s disenfranchisement with how the country is being run.

Starts the op-ed with commentary from former Senator from Wyoming Alan Simpson (R). Simpson is 90 years old and believes the Republican party “refuses to acknowledge the rut caused by Trump.”

Simpson is quoted as saying, “We’re not really talking about common sense or even politics anymore in my party. This is not a Republican Party anymore. It’s a cult.”

This sentiment comes from the part of the Republican party that wants to wash clean from Trumpism. Trump wasn’t a warmonger like many Republicans are, and he did things his way. Trump didn’t play ball well with the swamp, although he wasn’t perfect, he certainly made many lifelong Republican politicians very unhappy, including those in the Bush family.

Willams then jumps to the show that has been airing over the past few weeks the January 6th committee. Williams brings that the secret service deleted messages on January 6th blaming Tony Oranto who was appointed as deputy White House chief of Staff by Trump in what Williams calls “mob boss style”.

Williams questions how he feels about the secret service over this information. He then quotes U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin a Democrat representing Maryland over the messages deleted. “I smell a rat. That seems like an awfully strange coincidence for those text messages to be banished into oblivion on two days where there was also the most violent insurrection against the union in our history, after the Civil War.”

Raskin and everyone on the January 6th committee has a clear bias against Trump. Those who support Trump were not allowed to participate in the committee and instead, Republicans who better fit the makeup of the committee were selected.

Williams then jumped to the Supreme Court, which hold three judges Trump nominated. Williams shares that public confidence is down to 25 percent, the “lowest level in almost 50 years”.

This isn’t too surprising with the decision to overturn Roe Vs. Wade, a move most who pay attention saw as inevitable decades ago.

Williams goes on to blame Trump for the declining confidence in the U.S. Military, and says, “the most depressing part of the Trump contamination is how it has poisoned the GOP”. He then cites the 147 Republicans in Congress who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election.

Williams concludes his op-ed with “Fellow Americans, don’t let Trump tear apart our faith in each other. Don’t let him tear down our trust in institutions. Don’t swallow his poison.”

Trump has been out of office for over a year now, somehow Williams wants to place the blame of disenfranchisement on Trump and not on Biden and the radical left’s agenda which has been shoved in American faces.

Williams has taken a lesser role at Fox News as of last year when he announced his departure from “The Five”.
