On Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, contributor Juan Williams claimed that Republican constituents who are for the impeachment of President Obama are a "white, older group of people," and said the Republican Party has now become "almost a completely white party."
Michael Needham, CEO of Heritage Action for America, was also on the panel and called out Williams's double standard which lumped Needham into the group "demonizing" the president for labeling his executive actions as unconstitutional and implying racist undertones.
Needham said it was ironic for Williams to allege racism behind the calls for impeachment while at the same time claiming that only white people want Obama out of office. Needham rightly argues that in fact it is Williams who is demonizing the folks who understand that there is a "crisis of the Constitution" at hand:
You are demonizing good people who are concerned about a president who is completely out of control.
Williams fired back:
Look, we can have a principled argument about President Obama's actions and use of executive actions and authority, but you call him lawless, as if he's an outlaw, as if you have him riding the range -- 'we got to go get that guy.'
The people who want him impeached -- they're all white, and they're all older, and guess what -- they're all in the far-right wing of the Republican Party.
Needham finished:
And he might as well have just said, 'and they're all racist.' That's ridiculous.
