The old don lemmon would have cut her off as soon as she mentioned africa.
The simple fact that she was allowed to speak is a huge change for both Lemon and CNN. It’s literally unprecedented.
I can see him desperately trying to control his natural desire to shut her up. Either he got instructions before the interview, or someone was sharing instructions in his earpiece.
Either way, it was beautiful, man. 😉
Leftists are intimidated by foreign accents. They can’t get past their American ideal of the hillbilly racist.
There is a stretch in the piece: “In the exchange, Lemon explained...” really? ‘They’ explained?
