Don Lemon: 'It's my obligation as a journalist' to call Trump a racist

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....

Don, it is my obligation as an intelligent human to tell you that you are just a useful idiot.

Don Lemon is a lying piece of $hit, and he knows it.

Yeah Don if he is such a racist, then how come Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson gave him awards for hiring and promoting minorities across the country???

It’s my obligation as a sane person to point out you’re both an idiot and a nut case...

That is correct, except I was thinking about using more derogatory terms than that. 😁

And it’s my obligation as a man to call Lemon a mentally deranged homosexual who engages in deadly homosexual “sex” with another man. When we were a sane society perverts like Lemon caroused parks trying to pick up males for sex, the younger the better. If caught they were arrested and charged with “crime against nature.” Martin Downey Jr’s famous quote applies today as it did years ago.

“AIDs will eradicated in this country when some males remember the anus is for exit not entry.”

I have worked in several African Nations that were “shit holes” and it was a function of their totally corrupt governments and not their people.

I also worked in Venezuela prior to Chavez. It was good duty. Today it is a “shit hole” due to its corrupt Marxist government. I feel for the people there. Most of them are good but the ones at the top are evil and corrupt.

Elections today in Venezuela are a joke. The present government has not been re-elected twice but those that count the ballots determine the winner and not the people.

You know that word we’re not supposed to say about black people? Yeah, that one. Mr. Lemon exemplifies why this word is still a valid, concise, and accurate description of people like himself.

So, because Don Lemon is a typical leftist loonie suffering Trump Derangement Syndrome, but also happens to have black skin, you feel this word is a valid, concise, and accurate description of the man?

I'd say your evident compulsion to reference a completely unrelated racial slur says more about your bias than it does about his.

I don’t know about Don’s journalistic talents or abilities, but I know that he is really knowledgeable when it comes to black holes.
