Don Lemon was used to having a full hour of prime time to spout all the liberal talking points he wanted to, but then he got busted down to morning show co-host and has to behave himself. He lost it, though, when presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, tried to tell him, an African American, what rights blacks do and don’t have in America. Lemon even snapped at the producers for talking in his ear while he was trying to grandstand.
It doesn’t matter what ethnicity you or Ramaswamy are — you don’t get to tell Lemon about the rights he supposedly has.
🔥@VivekGRamaswamy nails it! NRA championed civil rights and constitutional freedom for all Americans long before barriers were broken in sports, schools, lunch lines, water fountains, the media (@DonLemon's industry), or Hollywood.

“For 152 years, NRA has welcomed and fought for every law-abiding American’s civil rights!”
Lemon is such a douche.
Don Lemon is dead wrong.
Shocker.
Vivek will wipe the floor with him.— Dean Cain (@RealDeanCain) April 19, 2023
This is common practice from activist journalists like Don Lemon who immediately pull the race card when they can’t sustain an argument. Dunno but Vivek’ asking color is similar to Don’s! And he’s right, let’s discuss issues not skin color!

Another nail in the coffin for CNN

Don Lemon is such a fraud.

He’s no match for Vivek and had to cut him off cause he has no substance and can’t debate. Time to get rid of him CNN.

Denying blacks the right to arm themselves was one of the early Jim Crow laws that kept them vulnerable to the Klan and those who sought to terrorize. The NRA in fact did help to fight those racist laws.

Didn’t know this guy was so sensitive. 🤨. Great job Vivek!

How does Lemon still have a job?

Say's a guy who is a multi, multi millionaire sitting on national television telling Vivek how oppressed he is. GTFOH

Lemon's cohost was shaking her head in total disbelief at his idiocy. Lemon is a JOKE and should be removed from television… he is a racist of the first degree.

@donlemon you’re a tool and a basic search will show you you are wrong.

Does Don Lemon know he doesn’t represent black people? He only represents himself. That is all.
Black people don’t let your skin dictate what you think.

@donlemon pulling the victim card as usual.

We’d say it’s amazing that Don Lemon survived the purge intended to refocus CNN on real journalism, but we’re sure they had their reasons for keeping him on, whatever his ethnicity.
