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....

Maybe Lemon has his job because he is a black gay who prefers white homosexuals?

CNN veteran anchor Don Lemon, 51, leaves SNL after party holding hands with rumored boyfriend.

Why does Don Lemon only have homosexual relations with white men...? Seems racist!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Imagine members of a race establishing a group called [Their Race Only] Lives Matter.

Imagine members of a race establishing a network called [Their Race Only] Entertainment Television.

Would that be racist?

Would it be labled racist?

Lemon, you are the racist and saying anything to get the crazies to continue looking at your channel proves it.

You (Don Lemon) also have the “obligation” to actually SUPPLY YOUR PROOF -— OR everyone else has the OBLIGATION to call YOU a liar/fraud/leftard-Apparatchik/non-journalist abusing your profession, and EVERYONE may then for the rest of your life ‘FART in your general direction’.

Note that ‘racist’ in this case would be the old definition of the word instead of the current dishonest-leftist use referring to any/all conservatives/republicans.

Racist adjacent? Not to be confused with racist orthogonal or racist perpendicular I guess. Don Lemon just loves making nonsense up.

>And it’s my obligation as a human being to call Don Lemon a pettifogging lickspittle.

A craven dewberry-pisshead cockup pratting-naff I might add.

Would that a hawk pick him up, drive its beak into his brain, and upon finding it rancid set him loose to fly
briefly before spattering the ocean rocks with the frothy pink shame of his ignoble blood. May he choke on the queasy, convulsing nausea of his own trite, foolish beliefs or his boyfriends excreta
