.@DonLemon: There's "nothing random" about the arrest of a Michigan man who threatened to kill CNN employees. "This is what happens when the President of the United States repeatedly attacks members of the press simply for reporting facts he does not like" https://t.co/b7oXT900iO

On Tuesday night, CNN host Don Lemon personally addressed President Trump in an emotional monologue in which he told the president he is partially responsible for recent death threats against the cable news network’s staff.
Lemon was reporting on the arrest of Brandon Griesemer of Novi, Mich., who “made approximately 22 total calls to CNN” on Jan. 9 and 10, threatening its employees, according to an arrest affidavit released on Monday.
“Fake news. I’m coming to gun you all down,” Griesemer allegedly said during one call to the network’s Atlanta headquarters, according to the affidavit. In another call, he said, “I am on my way right now to gun the f‑‑‑in’ CNN cast down. F‑‑‑ you.”

“There’s nothing random about this. Nothing,” Lemon said Tuesday. “This is what happens when the president of the United States, Donald Trump, repeatedly attacks members of the press simply for reporting facts he does not like.”
He then addressed the president directly.
“I’ve heard from a number of very credible sources from within the White House that you watch this show,” Lemon said. “So, Mr. President, I’m going to speak directly to you.”
“The caller who threatened to kill CNN employees made his threat using these words: ‘Fake news. I’m coming to gun you all down,'” said Lemon.”

Typical left winger, homosexual, black dude(ss)
NEVER at fault...always blames someone else
FUDL
If I were you, Don, I’d be quite a bit more concerned with the ones that don’t call and tell you that they are coming.
Lemon needs to look up the word “fact”. It does not mean what he thinks it means.
cnn had a democrat party congressman on who claimed there is “not one shred of evidence” that there was partisan bias in the obama doj.
And the anchors said nothing to challenge him.
As opposed to CNN’s rhetoric against Trump, Trump voters, GOP congressional members? (many of these people have been attacked/killed)
If a news organization gets death threats from ordinary citizens, maybe they should examine why.
Talk about bananas a bit more, Don.
Whiner.
Lemon’s reasoning is pretty straightforward (and crooked):
Trump calls CNN fake news
The one who made the threats to CNN calls them Fake News...
Therefore....(you fill in the rest)
What if the facts are fake, and the President does not appreciate fake facts delivered as non-fake facts?
So I wonder if CNN can be held responsible for all the threats made against Trump (must be thousands) due to their hyperbolic rhetoric?
More likely its what happens when a network constantly deals in lies and distortions, and rarely reports positive news concerning the subjects they wish to tear down and demonize.
“Trump is a Nazi” “Trump is a racist” “Trump is an Islamophobe” “Trump hates gays” “Trump hates Hispanics” etc etc etc..
my 5 year old says the same about the 3 year old
Isn't it amazing how the limitation on the number of characters that you can send in a single tweet did not prevent Don Lemon from cramming an ugly lie into this tweet?
Falsely claiming that CNN's constant stream of lies are actually 'facts' is despicable, but 'despicable' is what we've come to expect from CNN liars such as Don Lemon.

Where have Don Lemon and the other grossly irresponsible liars at CNN taken partial responsibility for those death threats? Did I somehow miss that? (/sarc)
Maybe.CNN should just stop reporting Fake News...It might just work!
So he admits its their fault a leftie tried to kill Republicans at the baseball practise?
Miss Lemon, when you make baseless incendiary charges against President Trump you only reveal your own ignorance.
If the charges Trump made were baseless, and were intended to create an unsafe situation for CNN employees, then sue him for making false allegations thus libel or request an arrest warrent. If not, then your making an accusation that he did this is a false accusation without the word allegedly and you can be sued for libel.
But Trump’s busy trying to clean up the messes in this country you were contributory to creating and hasn’t time to step on an ant or dig up their nest. He can just kick you off the plane or not take any questions at press conferences and get the same thing, your lies.
