Juan Williams is a popular commentator on the Fox News show, Special Report with Bret Baier, because he can be relied on to express the Democrat position articulately but without reliance on false narratives.
He seems to have an inside track with the Obama administration. So one wonders if he's delivering the administration's line in Juan Williams: #BlackLivesMatter is playing with fire. Some excerpts:
When they interrupt Democrats running for the presidential nomination, such as Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, they are alienating longtime political allies and their supporters. When they videotape Hillary Clinton after she generously agrees to meet with them privately — in an apparent attempt to embarrass her — they are distancing themselves from the likely Democratic nominee. And imagine how local and state officials will react now to any request for a meeting with the group. ...
Lobby Congress, hold voter registration drives, quiz candidates on their plan for sentencing reform, but don’t heckle the candidates and incite violence by calling for cop-killing. The movement could be critical to securing and mobilizing black support for criminal justice reform that actually would improve black lives.
Mr. Williams seems to be trying to rein in the monster Obama created.
Previously, Obama, like Dr. Frankenstein, was smart enough to create a monster but not smart enough to control it.
