Juan Williams is best known as one of Fox News’ resident liberals, but is he also a libertarian? When Williams made that assertion on this weekend’s edition of Cashin’ In on Fox, he was met with some uproarious laughter from host Eric Bolling and the show’s other panelists.
Bolling was telling Williams how “worried” he is about the NSA’s supposed ability to remotely turn on a laptop’s camera, when Williams shot back, “You guys should be worried about terrorists.” When he added that he’s a “libertarian” on privacy rights issues, the panel exploded into simultaneous laughter and protestations.
“We can’t let you get away with that,” Bolling responded. “You can’t say ‘I’m a libertarian and I’m O.K. with this.’”
While Williams’ comment got a lot of incredulous reactions from the group, the best one definitely came from contributor Michelle Fields:
