It seems Juan Williams can’t quite wrap his head around President Donald Trump’s sweeping victory, as evidenced by his latest appearance on *Fox News* where he faced ridicule for his increasingly out-of-touch comments. Brought in as the token liberal voice, Williams’ attempt to downplay Trump’s success not only embarrassed him but also drew mockery from both his fellow panelists and social media users.

Williams, seemingly in denial about the reasons behind Trump’s win, tried to deflect attention away from the successful campaign strategy Trump ran and instead suggested that Trump’s victory was about race. In an incredibly tone-deaf moment, Williams remarked, “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.” This bizarre attempt to frame Trump’s success as a racial issue was quickly dismissed by conservatives who pointed out that Trump’s campaign was rooted in policies that resonated with everyday Americans—not identity politics.

But Williams wasn’t finished. He doubled down on the left’s baseless claims, suggesting that Trump’s win could be linked to his supposed “insurrection” against the U.S. government, a narrative the left has clung to ever since the January 6th protests. “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. This inflammatory remark only further undermined his credibility, especially when it was clear that Trump’s win was about restoring America’s strength, not perpetuating division.

The most cringe-worthy moment came when Williams dismissed the idea that Trump’s appeal had anything to do with key issues like the economy or immigration. Instead, he suggested, “I’m not sold on this idea that, Oh, it was the cost of x. I worry that it was, well, I’m not voting for this woman, or I’m not voting for this black.” Not only did this mischaracterize Trump’s diverse coalition of supporters, but it also revealed just how deeply out of touch Williams is with the real concerns of voters.

Bret Baier, host of *Fox News Special Report*, was quick to respond, calling out Williams’ misguided take. “That’s not what we see in our data,” Baier fired back, pointing to the overwhelming support Trump received from a broad spectrum of voters—including white working-class Americans, as well as black and Latino communities. The truth was clear: Trump’s victory wasn’t a product of race—it was a rejection of the status quo and a vote for a stronger, more secure America.

Williams was swiftly roasted on social media for his tone-deaf comments. One user, known as “Lone Star American,” hit the nail on the head, writing, “Why can’t Juan Williams and Democrats understand this election wasn’t about race? Never was. Trump didn’t talk to people as if they were a race, he talked to them as Americans. Divisive politics, is over.” Another user, “Proud Elephants,” didn’t hold back, bluntly stating, “Juan Williams made a TOTAL FOOL of himself last night and completely lost his composure in response to President Trump’s historic victory.”

The reaction to Williams’ commentary shows that the political tide is shifting. The American people have made it clear that they’re tired of the divisive identity politics championed by the left. As more and more voters flock to Trump’s America-first message, the left continues to struggle to understand the reasons behind his success. It’s becoming increasingly clear that it’s time for Juan Williams and others on the left to wake up to the changing political landscape and accept the reality that Trump’s win wasn’t about race or division—it was a call for a better America.
