“The Five,” one of the most popular shows on Fox News, is losing its liberal co-host and Fox fans seem thrilled.
Juan Williams, the lone dissenter on the conservative program, is stepping down from his co-host spot. He announced his departure on Wednesday afternoon’s broadcast. His exit is effective immediately.
Fox says another liberal commentator will take his place, however, and says the change is Williams’ choice.
“Covid taught me a lot of lessons,” Williams told viewers on Wednesday. “As the show goes back to the New York studio, I’ll be staying in DC. I’ll be working for Fox out of Washington. My work as a Fox News political analyst will continue.”
