CNN anchor Don Lemon said Friday that it's his "obligation as a journalist" to call President Trump a racist.
“Critical thinking is important as a journalist. If you cannot surmise that this president — if he’s not racist, he’s certainly racist-adjacent," Lemon told an audience as the keynote speaker at Variety’s Entertainment & Technology NYC Summit. "We have come to a consensus in our society that facts matter. I feel like it’s my obligation to say that.”
“If you have the evidence that shows you, that leads you to nothing else but this president being racist, then I feel it’s my obligation as a journalist to say it," he added.
Lemon called the president racist on the Jan. 11 edition of "CNN Tonight,” the same day the first reports emerged that Trump had referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” during an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers....

As the profession of journalist carried any prestige at all.
Fuggedabowdit, dumbass.
It’s my obligation as an honest person to call Don Lemon a liar, a racist, a Communist, and a traitor.
And its my obligation to call Don Lemon a jackass
Actually it’s his choice as a homosexual radical leftist
Don always acts like he has something shoved up his ass..no pun intended
Didn’t he try this a few times already ,D’oh
“We have come to a consensus in our society that facts matter.”
NO. You progressives have come to a consensus in our society that propaganda matters and you need a new group to cajole and exploit for votes. (Jennifer Palmieri’s email on how they need Hispanics for the votes.)
They don’t think we are just deplorable, they think we are morons. Let’s prove em wrong!
Trump isn’t racist, but Lemon certainly is.
He also helped Jesse Jackson set up a headquarters in New York when the “Rev” was running for president.
Lemon has obviously not even thought this through. Donald Trump has been in the public eye since about 1980. He has lived and worked primarily in the NYC area, home to the some of the (formerly) best newspapers and television stations in the world, with more than ample investigative capabilities. NONE of them found, in the roughly 35 years between when he became a public figure and when he declared for President, that he was a racist - and that would have been a BIG DEAL in the NYC area. He was, quite simply, the most scandal-vetted Presidential candidate in our history (and he had his share, mostly involved with screwing around on one wife or the other - so the journalists WERE working hard on finding things out).
So, Don, if he wasn’t a racist that literally hundreds of journalists (real ones, not like you) could find over a 35 year span of time, how come you think that you’ve suddenly found out that he is one? You know what, you’re like the guy who gets a call from his wife at rush hour, telling him that there’s a car going the wrong way on the Interstate, and he responds, “One. Hell, they’re ALL going the wrong way!” IOW, you’re an idiot.
They hate Trump because he’s a white male.
As usual Mr. Lemon please provide specific examples of President Trump’s so called Racism. No doubt you are still getting your talking points from the DNC.
And it’s my obligation as a human being to call Don Lemon a pettifogging lickspittle.
I was just thinking he’s no smarter than a lemonhead drop.
But you (meaning us white folks) couldn’t call 0bama a racist because that’d be racist.
Hey now, The Lemonheads were a good band, I loved their remake of "Mrs. Robinson". Don't lump them in with this guy.
It’s my obligation as an American to call Don Lemon an idiot.
Also, calling Haiti and African countries “*hitholes” doesn’t make anyone a “racist.” It’s simply pointing out the truth.
Don Lemon is the guy who went on for weeks about the missing Malaysian airliner being sucked into a black hole.
Substitute "delusional" for "critical" and that's little Miss Lemon.
