Don Lemon Doubles Down On “White Terrorists” Comment. Oh, And He Says Trump Is Racist.

I wish you could see how hard my eyes were rolling right now.

So you may have heard that Don Lemon told Chris Cuomo (who didn’t press him at all), that the biggest terror threat in our country comes from white males. If you missed it, take a look at this.

And now? He’s doubling down.

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.

Then again, what else can we expect from a “journalist” who happily goes on record to call the President a racist for calling out his crap?

I’ll give you this, Don. You’re an awfully handsome fellow and I’d love to know more about your skin care routine. But how about instead of spending time in front of your mirror, you do a little introspection and work on your self-awareness? Because DAYUM.
