Eboni K. Williams had never received anything like the responses she garnered after she aired her grievances with President Trump while on-air on The Fox News Specialists.
The co-host addressed Trump on Monday in her Ebonis Docket segment, which she writes herself, berating him for failing to specify white nationalist groups in his condemnation of the violence that occurred at Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. She told Variety in an interview on Wednesday that her personal website, which usually receives an average of 10-15 emails after each segment, was inundated with over 150 emails, only three of which were anything other than seething, scathing takedowns.
I should meet my maker soon, I shouldnt be allowed to walk the streets of New York, she cited as some examples of the type of comments she received. They heard that I live in Harlem Harlem needs to watch out. Her book publisher became so concerned that he asked her to request additional security from Fox News, which she did Williams is now escorted to and from the building when she arrives to work.

The Fox News people are such freaking idiots. They've ignored what liberals have been saying about the Republican base for 30 years. They are Nazis, white supremacists, racists, bigots, homophobes. They aren't loyal to the country. They are loyal only to their race and religion.

should not be a company's mission statement.
