The left-leaning Fox News analyst wrote a column for The Hill that dissects how Trump remains a financial juggernaut for the GOP, even though he’s been kicked off of social media and keeps spreading the election lies that fueled his supporters into storming the U.S. Capitol. He also wrote of how Trump’s efforts have been replicated by “shameless imitators,” naming conservative bomb-throwers like Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO).


“Trump’s grifting game is also being mimicked by powerful, well-funded conservative donor networks,” Williams writes. “They tell donors they need money to uncover voter fraud. And when they fail to find any fraud, these dark-money organizations then tell donors they need more cash for more probes in search of fraud. They never find any and so they ask again. It is a never-ending pitch.”

From there, Williams continues by explaining that the “Trump grift game” works with right-wing media figures going on tireless, factually questionable rants against “socialism” and “cancel culture.” This sustains a cash flow from an “angry, paranoid audience” hoping to stave off “a purported invasion of younger, more educated, racially diverse people likely to vote for Democrats.”

Juan Williams is their "liberal spokesman" to prove that they're 'fair and balanced.....'

He's had his 'time out of the corner' - he'll go back and wait until they need him again to 'prove' that they're 'fair and balanced.'
