Fox News has just made an announcement about the future of left-wing pundit Juan Williams, whose threatrics on “The Five” has drawn the rancor of many of the network’s conservative watchers.
“As Juan Williams announced on air today, he will be leaving The Five to live in Washington, D.C. full time,” said Megan Albano, VP for The Five and weekend programming, in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.
“We are incredibly grateful for his commitment to the show and its success over the last several years,” the statement continued. “As we started planning The Five’s return to its New York City studio at our headquarters a few months ago, Juan decided to stay in Washington, DC permanently.”
We accommodated his request, understanding and appreciating his desire to remain closer to his family and recognizing that a remote co-hosting role on a roundtable in-studio program was not a long-term option,” the statement added. “While we will miss his insightful contributions each night and look forward to welcoming him on set whenever he’s in New York, we are pleased to have him continue his longtime role as a senior political analyst with Fox News Media.”
This was Juan Williams breaking the news to the audience.

Here is the reaction on Twitter:
Bye Juan. Nobody will miss you. They will probably replace him with Donna Brazile

Remember when I told Juan Williams that his sorry self should leave The Five just last week?
Well, homeboy just packed his bags and is out!
Maybe I should try my luck on telling Biden to get out of the White House!
