This Conspiracy Theory Just Dropped On Fox News

Fox News host Juan Williams disgusted his co-hosts on Monday with a wacky conspiracy theory-laden rant after President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Afghanistan.Williams imagination ran wild with claims that the president only made his Afghanistan announcement in a bid to change the media’s daily coverage of the Charlottesville mess, BizPacReview notedWilliams rambled on insisting that Trump was using Afghanistan to “wag the dog” to get the media off the Charlottesville story.Donald Trump finds this opportune moment to use [the military] as a toy to say, ‘You know that stuff I was saying, when I didn’t understand what Nazis and white supremacists and neo-nazis was about? I forgot what World War II was about? And when real American patriots shed blood to fight those Nazis? There was no equivalence.’ No, no, no. But he didn’t say that. Instead, now he’s saying, ‘Oh yeah, so you know what? … This is brand-new.’

This to me is the absolute most cheap use of our military from a guy who was in a hole and has damaged his presidency in a way that he will not recover.

As Williams blathered on, his co-hosts ridiculed him for the nonsense he was spouting.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld slammed Williams saying, “And it just proves my point. If [Trump] didn’t say anything, Juan, [you would be saying] ‘HE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING!.’ And then he said something, [and you’d say] ‘HE SAID SOMETHING!’”

They also gigged Williams for disrespecting the military.

“It’s very disingenuous to suggest that the president of the United States would squander lives to try to get himself out of a political pickle,” Guilfoyle said. “He has been working on a strategy for Afghanistan [for a while].”

Of course, Democrats do have a history of using the military as a way to get out of bad political situations. Bill and Hillary Clinton both did it in their time in Washington.

You’ll recall that Bill “wagged the dog” when he launched missile strikes against al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in order to change the media discussion away from his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Bill’s wife, Hillary essentially did something similar by saying that the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, were driven by a little seen Youtube video. She made that absurd claim in order to cover for radical Islamists.

When Kimberly Guilfoyle threw the discussion to Williams, she asked if he thought Trump was on track with his Afghanistan plans.

Far from agreeing with either Trump or his colleagues on the panel, Williams insulted them all saying that the eclipse must have affected their minds.“I’m thinking maybe it was the eclipse, because it seems you’re blind to the realities,” Williams said to his “The Five” co-hosts.
