As we mentioned, Don Lemon raized some eyebrows when he revealed that the BIGGEST threat to our nation is… wait for it…
WHITE MEN.
CNN’s Don Lemon: “We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.” pic.twitter.com/OFu9fL3eHn

Yes, really.
This man had the GALL to say we need to stop demonizing people, and then turn around and demonize white men as terrorists. All in the same breath.
And then he DOUBLED DOWN… and reminded everyone that TRUMP IS A RAAAACIST OMG.
Mock had this to say about that absolutely SHAMEFUL little display, and I think it was PERFECTION, so I’ll quote her here:
I guess it just doesn’t even matter that what Trump is talking about trying to stop is further gang activity, further unskilled or lowskilled military-age men coming across the border who are more apt to become involved with criminal activity. It’s neat that Don is throwing up pie charts from the Anti-Defamation League (OMG DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED), but isn’t bothering to mention Chicago. Last week, I think we were up to 2500 people shot there this calendar year. Should we do a racial analysis on the perpetrators? Or will that get in the way of Don’s agenda?
What the hell. Let’s just throw this factoid out there – from USA Today:
“The violence, which police say is primarily fueled by gangs, disproportionately affects several swaths of low-income black and Latino neighborhoods on the city’s West and South Sides.”
So spare me your right wing white male terrorist crap, Don. Yes – there are crazy right wing men out there. But take your blinders off and get off your high horse. Trump isn’t fear mongering. He’s trying to prevent more of the bullsh*t we’re seeing in places like the Windy City.
Wow. It’s really, really RACIST of Mock to bring up violence perpetrated by ANYONE but WHITE MALES, huh?
Well… she’s not the only one who has something to say to Don Lemon.
Janice Dean, Fox News meteorologist, and the wife of a 9/11 firefighter (who just so happens to be one of those evil white males Don Lemon keeps ripping on) shared a piece of her mind:
My firefighter husband lived through the terror attacks on September 11th and is still going to funerals 17 years later. He knows what a terror threat looks and feels like. The comments from @donlemon are irresponsible, hurtful and disgraceful.

God Bless them.
The disturbing part? Someone had the GALL to say this back:
Totally disagree. Don Lemon was spot on. Who is committing mass shootings, targeting churches, sending suspicious packages? White men. It’s not all but it’s enough to be a threat. Btw he’s not the only person to say this. Who’s the snowflake

…Wow.
Janice doesn’t take it sitting down:
Yeah don’t call my husband who runs into burning buildings to save people like yourself a snowflake. Bye.
