How pathetic is a network that continues to employ Don Lemon as a news reporter worth watching ?
Just re-visited a video of Black Sheriff David Clarke being interviewed on CNN by Don Lemon in 2016, shortly after the shooting deaths of three innocent cops in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Furious with the narrative that most White cops are racists, that Blacks are consistently [systemically] treated differently by law enforcement, Clarke clearly sees the Left’s refusal to condemn the violence of B.L.M., as typified in the biased coverage of CNN and, more specifically, Don Lemon himself, as a significant factor in the recent explosion of anti-cop hatred. Ludicrously, in response to each of the statistics cited by Clarke, Lemon smiles condescendingly and attempts to change the subject, saying the sheriff’s issues are not relevant to the topic under discussion, indeed that there is no evidence that any of the 2016 attacks on cops were in any way related to the rhetoric of B.L.M. Is this brazenly biased fool in any way worthy of the title “journalist”?
More recently, in Aug. of 2020, in response to hordes of mostly Black people breaking into high-end Chicago stores and running off with expensive handbags, jewelry, etc., B.L.M. activist Ariel Atkins justified their pillaging as a matter of “social justice,” saying their spoils were but “reparations” for what America has done to them. One wonders if the sage Mr. Lemon might see that comment as an endorsement of crime?
On Wed., Dec. 18 of this year, Republican Senator John Kennedy, during a Judiciary Hearing on the nomination of Anne Traun to the position of District Judge in Nevada, asked her 9 times in one form or another: “Do you think we should forgive criminal misbehavior in the name of social justice?” On every occasion, much to his consternation, she refused to answer, implying her views on that issue were not really relevant to her position as a judge!!!!!
These are but 3 of literally countless examples of members of the Left refusing to take a stand against the lawlessness that has made life in many American cities intolerable. Yet when their numbers decline in the polls, most Democrats and those who support them, rather than acknowledging the obvious impact of their “tolerant” approach to the Law, continue to blame Donal Trump and those Neo-Nazi “conservatives” whom he apparently represents.
Go ahead, rob a Walmart! You’ll be back on the street tomorrow morning! Truly demented!
