Fox News Show Descends Into Chaos After Host Accuses Co-Hosts Of 'Ignoring' Impeachment Trial

Fox News Show Descends Into Chaos After Host Accuses Co-Hosts Of 'Ignoring' Impeachment Trial
Fox News

Former President Trump's impeachment trial was well underway in the Senate on Wednesday, February 10 when Fox News cut away to discuss other pressing issues, including the NBA's National Anthem "controversy."

This caused a pretty uncomfortable moment on Fox's talk show The Five, where co-host Juan Williams accused the show and his fellow commentators of "ignoring" the news.


You can watch the exchange here:

As the broadcast was ending, Williams implored his colleagues:

"I want you guys to come back, come and join the conversation, pay attention to the news! Clearly, what's going on on Capitol Hill today is an attempt to hold democracy and the Constitution up. To celebrate that as the basis that we are a country of laws."



Williams was correct in identifying Fox as one of the only major news networks to cut away from the impeachment proceedings as House managers unveiled previously unseen videos of the insurrections.

He said:

"This impeachment trial that you guys are all ignoring, I guess you are afraid of it because it's a reminder."



Co-host Greg Gutfeld accused Williams of "mind-reading" and the two started a shouting match that ran the rest of the segment.

Williams went on to comment:

"It seems to me that what you heard today is how Trump was attacking not only Democrats but Republicans, and now he's forcing Republicans to make a choice. You can stand with the mob that stormed Capitol Hill and said 'bleep the cops.' You can join the QAnon conspiracy. You can join the Proud Boys violent extremists."



As each of his co-hosts insisted he was incorrect, Williams continued to shout his points.

"Or you can stand with Liz Cheney, you can stand with Mitch McConnell, you can stand with people who believe the Republican Party should stand for conservative principle."
"This trial to me is about whether Republicans want to close their eyes or face the truth."



Twitter, which is often heavily critical of Fox News, was glad to see its personalities in such disarray.


As Williams pointed out, Trump's second impeachment trial is, for many, also a referendum on the Republican party's tolerance for extremists and racism.

Fox News seems eager to avoid examing that subject too closely. Perhaps the GOP are not the only ones being forced to look in that mirror.

The ad garnered attention after it was shared by the social media account Libs of TikTok—run by the anti-LGBTQ+ conservative Chaya Raichik—which described the ad as an example of "another woke company trying to erase women."
