CNN's Don Lemon attempted to clarify his remarks about "blowing up the entire system" as it pertains to the Electoral College, with the host saying Tuesday night he was taken out of context.
"I woke up and I saw all of these headlines, 'Don Lemon is calling for the abolishing of the Electoral College!' But I was responding to you when you said we need people with integrity!" Lemon exclaimed during a hand-off with host Chris Cuomo. "I was responding to you when you said we want people with integrity in office and I said, 'Well, then we've got to blow up the whole system, right?' And I said here's what Democrats can do and that's the danger: they can stack the court.
"But all of a sudden, I am calling for the abolishing of the Electoral College," Lemon continued. "And that I'm a Democrat, because I said 'we.' I mean the American people!"
"Run and tell this: I do think that we need to look at the Electoral College because I think it disenfranchises voters, both Democrats and Republicans," Lemon later added. "If you're in a blue state and all of the electoral votes go to the Democratic person, then the Republicans' votes aren't counted, the people who voted for the Republican candidate."
"So I do think it should be looked at because I think it does disenfranchise certain people," he concluded. "Should it be abolished? It's not for me to say. I'm saying this is what Democrats are saying; stack the courts, get rid of the Electoral College. But there is no nuance and no context anymore, so who cares."

Lemon knows a lot about blowing things.
“And that I’m a Democrat...”
If you are not a Democrat Don, just how far left are you?
Eww who goes down that isle. Nothing but snakes, spiders, and the walking dead down there.
Lying bastard!
So … it is what you are saying.
I saw the video. You’ve seen the videos of leftists losing it. Well, this was a leftist talk show host doing the same thing as far as he could to keep his job.
It caused me to gain a grain of respect for Fredo, because he was trying (unsucessfully) to reel him in.
I don’t remember who said this, but it applies: The side having the most fun is the side that wins. The left is absolutely going off a cliff. They are not having fun at all.
He meant mostly peaceful blowing up the system.
I’m going waaayyyyy out on a limb:
I believe CNN as we now know it will be gone soon. Its days are numbered.
Let’s see if I’m right.
Cuomo knew exactly what he was saying. - He was shaking his head and disagreeing. It was even worse in full context. He said they should amend the constitution by stacking the Supreme Court.
Classic case of “Open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously!” Lemon was caught in full chew and now wishes for a redo! Not going to happen!
Don Lemonaids sucks!
This insane maniac should be taken off the air.
Don Lemon, or your lying eyes?
I would just take someone with integrity at CNN.
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”
Don Lemon asks: “Y’all got a problem with that?”
CNN is being subsidized by powers on the Left to be the voice of the opposition and to be the propaganda arm of the democRATS.
The fact that they don't have an audience large enough to support them financially would not bode well for most business enterprises, but they do have advertisers and financial support to get the hate-America, hate-Trump message out.
There will always be a need for the Left to get their message out to the public. So I don't think they are down for the count anytime soon.
They will still be the butt of jokes from the right and jabs from the president, but they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
I heard it, too...
And Bolsheviks...
In what context is “we need to blow up the entire thing” the right answer?
