FAUX News Fraudcasting hosted a "Survivor – GOP Presidential Primary" debate last night from South Carolina, a state that still flies the Confederate battle jack flag, on the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday no less.

Juan Williams, an African-American reporter on FAUX, had the audacity to ask disgraced former House Speaker Newt Gingrich about his dog whistle coded racist comments about African-Americans last night, for which Gingrich and his Southern White Citizens Council debate audience got hostile towards Juan Willams. TRANSCRIPT: Fox News Channel & Wall Street Journal Debate in South Carolina:

WILLIAMS: Speaker Gingrich, you recently said black Americans should demand jobs, not food stamps. You also said poor kids lack a strong work ethic and proposed having them work as janitors in their schools. Can’t you see that this is viewed, at a minimum, as insulting to all Americans, but particularly to black Americans?
GINGRICH: No. I don’t see that.
(APPLAUSE)
