WATCH: Fox News anchor swats down Sheriff David Clarke for disrespecting Rep. John Lewis

Controversial right-wing former Sheriff David Clarke got more than he bargained for when he tried to cast aspersions against the character and record of civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA).

According to Mediaite.com, "Fox and Friends" weekend host Eboni Williams -- who got her undergraduate degree in Communications and African-American studies before going on to graduate from Loyola University law school -- decided not to let Clarke's talking points go by uncontested.

When asked what he thinks of Lewis' decision not to attend the opening of Mississippi's Civil Rights Museum, Clarke -- who was busted for plagiarizing sections of his master's thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA -- said, "John who?"

“John Lewis -- he was bloodied on the Selma bridge, Sheriff, when trying to protest voting rights and a variety of other things,” said Williams.

Clarke tried to smear Lewis as "the most irrelevant member of Congress" before Williams cut him off and said, “Sheriff let me say this to you. For you to say that nobody cares about John Lewis is inaccurate because I assure you that there are many people across this country that absolutely do care about him.”

The former sheriff -- who is accused of allowing an inmate to die of dehydration in a Milwaukee jail and of forcing a pregnant prisoner to give birth on the jailhouse floor, resulting in the death of her baby -- tried to run to the bogus Republican talking point that Democrats opposed the Civil Rights Act, which Williams corrected him on.

“I appreciate that history lesson but as somebody that holds a degree on the subject I really don’t need you to update me on who was required for Lyndon B. Johnson to pass the Civil Rights Act,” she said icily.
