He has a real knack for ignoring and/or dismissing the heated rhetoric from his side. Hillary Clinton said it wasn’t time for civility. Maxine Waters told people to shout people out of public places. Eric Holder said, “When they go low, we kick them.”
But listen. It’s all fiiiiiiine, because it’s not like Democrats are going around killing people or anything. Only right-wing people are killing people, so HA!
Conservative commentator Mike Shields argued on Lemon’s show,”CNN Tonight,” that blaming “fear-mongering” from Fox News over the Central American immigrant caravan for the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh was “disgusting” and “outrageous.”
Which it IS. And if liberals are going to do that, then surely we must blame Bernie Sanders directly for the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise, right?
“You’re not being honest,” Lemon told Shields, a recurring guest on the show. “This is not equal, and I understand the whole argument about both sides.”
“So if you’re not equivocating, if you’re not saying that they’re equal in comparing them, then why are you bringing that up?” the host asked. “Bernie Sanders is not the president.”
“So why do you keep bringing up other people instead of talking about the person who is the president of the United States, the rhetoric that is being spouted by one network, and the conservative media?” Lemon said. “Why not just take ownership of that and talk about how you can correct it on that side instead of this whataboutism?”
“For both sides to understand this, they both have to realize they contribute to it, okay?” Shields said.
It was like talking to a brick wall.
“The right-wing group killed the woman in Charlottesville. This guy is a right-winger who killed the people in the synagogue. The right-winger sent bombs to CNN and to Democrats. I don’t see Democrats killing people because of political — yeah, there may be democratic operatives who are out there,” Lemon aid.
“Well they tried to,” Shields said.
“Okay, they tried to, and that’s not right,” Lemon continued. “But for the most part, what do you see here, Mike? You see these extreme right-wingers and then instead of denouncing them and saying it’s just wrong, you make people think that it’s okay, that you’re making an excuse for, because then you go, ‘But what about the Democrats?’ when is no comparison. There is no equivalence there!”
Is he freaking serious?
Scalise responded.
