[See NewsBusters for more.] Disgraced journalist Brian Williams on Thursday anchored Barack Obama’s response to a Supreme Court defeat, lamenting the “sad and frustrated” Democrat. During NBC’s live coverage, Williams also reminded viewers, in case they forgot, that Obama is the “first African American president” in this country’s history. Obama complained about a Supreme Court ruling that left in place an injunction on the President’s immigration executive order. Inserting race into the story, Williams cheered, “A big statement there on immigration. This first African-American president reminding his fellow Americans that all of us are from folks who came from somewhere else.”
