CNN Host Flabbergasted [semi-satire]

CNN talking head Don Lemon professed himself "flabbergasted" by US Attorney General William Barr's characterization of the violent protests following the death of George Floyd as "extreme."

"How can an old white guy like Barr comprehend the righteous rage of people protesting the murder of an innocent black man by the Minneapolis Police?" Lemon asked. "How can he not perceive the justice of tearing down the society that makes crimes like the one perpetrated against Floyd possible? Looted merchandise, burned down buildings, and a few random deaths seem a small price to pay for the kind of transformation the protesters are seeking."

In related news, Lemon flunked the same cognitive test that President Trump aced last year. His inability to tell whether the animal pictured in one of the questions on the test was an elephant, hippo, or rhino was his undoing. Fellow CNN talking head Chris Cuomo administered the test and raucously mocked Lemon for "being dumber than Trump."

“A few random deaths” says all you need to know about Lemon.

Really. What kind of man is this? I wonder how he’d feel about it if one of the “random deaths” was his mother, “partner,” brother, sister, father or some other relative? I wonder what the families of the “random dead” feel about his comments? How insensitive of him! Were he a conservative, people would be demanding that he be fired. He must be referring to Capt. Dorn as a “random death.” What’s the life of an upstanding public servant like Dorn worth when compare to George Floyd? Is that what he’s saying?

They’re going to be a lot more flabbergasted when Trump’s re-elected in a landslide victory!
