Juan Williams, the idiot who so many conservatives defended after NPR kicked him to the curb several years ago is at it again. While Williams spews his Democrat talking points on Fox News every day, he also writes for left wing The Hill that aside from John Solomon is pure anti-Trump, anti-conservative propaganda. Now, according to Juan Williams, if you dare support a pro-life agenda, you are nothing more than an extremist. If you are an evangelical Christian, that makes you that much more of an extremist. This was what Williams wrote in The Hill today and the type of crap that Fox News keeps around.

This amounts to disingenuous doublespeak. It is a smokescreen behind which abortion extremists continue to distort the abortion debate and twist the judicial system.
This wave of extreme opposition to abortion started with President Trump’s success in placing two very conservative judges on the high court.
Earlier this year, Trump reportedly told top Republicans he is “saving” Judge Amy Coney Barrett, one of the most virulent, outspoken opponents of abortion rights on the federal bench today, for his next nominee to the court.
Before he became a presidential candidate, Trump was pro-choice, to the point of saying he would not ban so-called ‘partial birth’ abortion. He gave money to Democratic politicians who support abortion rights.
When he became a GOP presidential candidate, Trump jettisoned his pro-choice position, falsely accusing Democrats of wanting to “rip” babies from their mothers’ wombs, “put them in a blanket,” and decide whether to “execute” them.
This emotionally-charged rhetoric serves to stir Trump’s evangelical base.
Trump is betting that evangelical extremism on abortion will override his failure to deliver on better trade deals and his failure to build a wall on the southern border.
That extremist passion, however, creates the danger of a political backlash.
