NPR's Juan Williams Chokes Up Over Obama Inauguration, Rev. Lowery Benediction

Juan Williams also appears frequently on ultra-conservative Fox News in what some would call a "token Liberal" role.

While fighting back tears, Juan Williams said the following of the Reverend Joseph Lowery:

"The thought, that that guy, Joe Lowery. Oh my God, he is the real deal. There are other people who might say that they were there with Dr. King, and suffered the indignities, but Joe Lowery really did. And for Joe Lowery, today, to see that son, that black man, boy, become President of the United States. I can't tell you. And sometimes in your life you just think, 'What a country! How could it be?' I never thought that would happen. But there it was, and I just thank god that Joe Lowery was able in that moment to talk about the power of silent tears, of where our fathers had cried."

Juan Williams also teared up on Election night. On that night, he said (in part):

"This is truly an incredible moment of American history. I can't think of another country in the world where you could have a significant minority that was once so maligned and so oppressed finally have one of its sons rise to this level."

Watch the video and listen carefully, you can definitely hear the emotion in Juan Williams' voice.
