Juan Williams Responds to the Resignation of NPR Executive Who Fired Him (VIDEO)
Last year, Juan Williams was fired by NPR in the wake of remarks he made on 'The O'Reilly Factor' about how he gets nervous when he sees men in Muslim garb on a airplane.An external investigation of Williams' firing has now resulted in the resignation of NPR senior vice president Ellen Weiss, who Williams says not only fired him, but called him a bigot and denied him the opportunity to explain his comments further.
Back on 'The O'Reilly Factor' (weekdays, 8PM ET on Fox News,) Williams told Bill O'Reilly that Weiss leaving NPR was a "good thing."
"She was the enforcer of political correctness of liberal orthodoxy at (NPR)" Williams argued. "It was her way or the highway ... she basically enforced an inbred culture at (NPR.) Which is why I think it's such a fearful place, even today."
After being fired by NPR, Williams signed a multi-million dollar contract with Fox News, and got a deal to write a book about "the growing difficulty in America of speaking out on sensitive topics."
So while Williams still appears to be hurt by his dismissal from NPR, things have gone pretty well for him since.
