FNC's Williams Agrees With Pelosi That Goal of Citizenship Question Was to 'Make America White Again'

A discussion about the citizenship question quickly got heated on Sunday's edition of Fox News Sunday.  Juan Williams, columnist for The Hill and liberal co-host of The Five, implied that President Trump's goal in adding the citizenship question to the census was to "intimidate or scare people who are here undocumented." Host Chris Wallace pushed back on that argument, noting that the census asks questions about race, income but that did not stop Williams from going off the deep end.  After accusing the Trump administration of "stirring anti-immigrant fervor" in an effort to get illegal immigrants not to participate, Williams brought up House Speaker Nancy Pelosi describing the proposed addition of the citizenship question as "an effort to make America White Again," arguing: "I think that's what's going on." Williams added "we know that Republican operatives wanted to depress this count in order to limit congressional districts that were run by Democrats." Williams failed to acknowledge that the census would still count everybody in the country, including illegal immigrants, it would merely make note of the number of non-citizens in the country the same way it makes note of the race, gender, and various other characteristics of the people residing in the country.
