CNN’s Lemon: ...‘Educate’ Covington Students About Why MAGA Hats Trigger ‘Marginalized People’ (tr)
Breitbart News ^ | 1-23-2019 | Tony Lee

CNN host Don Lemon on Tuesday evening ripped the Covington Catholic High School chaperones for not educating the students about why Make America Great Again baseball caps trigger “marginalized people.”

“OK. The MAGA hat, the MAGA hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction from many people. Especially from marginalized people,” Lemon said. “For example, Pocahontas, right? This was a Native American. Their chaperone should be keenly aware of that. Those kids should know that. And let’s say that the kids didn’t know that because they are kids. Their chaperones should be responsible enough to educate them. After all, they are students.”

CNN host Chris Cuomo said he did not understand why Covington Catholic allowed their students to wear MAGA hats to DC because “wearing the MAGA hat would have still been a violation of endorsing a political position.”

He was representing MLK exactly for this MLK day.

Chances are most didn’t. They probably bought the hats from a vendor at the Right to Life march. At least heard a couple of the kids say thats where they got em.

You mean like a camp, dufus? Maybe some barbed wire and guard towers should be in that mix.

A person who cannot control their emotions or behavior in the presence of opposing political opinion is a danger and a menace to civil society.

I have a better idea.

Let's require those who would participate in the political process to act in a civilized manner.

"They were provoked," is an excuse one gives to wife beaters. No excuses.

I am triggered by FAKE NEWS and outrageous lies.

I'm triggered by being called "deplorable" because I want a strong, health, vibrant opportunities for every American.

I'm triggered by the lies, gossip and innuendo that pretends to be "objective commentary" which seeks only to ham-string this president, foment hatred of his supporters and undermine his pro-America agenda.

Don Lemon is attempting to intimate these high schoolers, and by extension any MAGA supporter, from the free exercise of their political speech. Sorry Don, you don't have veto power.

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 very racist!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on a 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.

That makes two of us.

This tyranny by the Left against free thought, self expression and faith if you do not conform is why I got the hell out of California.

Now the battle has gone nation wide.

The hat as a triggering device!

We used to have a wonderful Freeper on here, since passed on, Dr. Raoul...some of you may remember him. (I know you do, Tolerance Sucks Rocks!)

Here he is with the DC Chapter of Free Republic at one of the Washington demonstrations (Might have been the 2012 March on Washington by conservatives?)

In the picture, he is interacting with Leftitsts. He was unafraid, witty, bold, and warm. And he didn't use profanity (that I recall) but could summon up witty sarcasm in his discussions with leftists who wanted someone to bully with their ignorance.

He always rose to the challenge, and we just watched, smiled, and laughed. Good man.

But the thing that to this day that made me laugh about him was right there on his head in this picture. Look closely...it is a Haliburton hat!

He loved wearing it, because it absolutely triggered (nobody used that stupid term back then, but that is what it was) Leftists, and like moths to a flame, they couldn't help themselves. It was as if he used that hat like an Anglerfish, and like minnows, mesmerized by the beacon on the top of his head, would be inexorably drawn to him as unwitting prey.

We all loved him and his hat, and he sported a rakish grin of delight when we would talk admiringly of it and how he used it to intentionally trigger them. I pinged him on this, as I think Jim Rob may have kept his account active out of respect...or at least I like to think so.

And the street vendor who sold them was most likely a “marginalized” person just trying to make a buck.

Why does Lemon want to put him/her out of business?

The best thing people could do is to totally ignore all of it and let the chips fall where they may.

Oh, no. It's time to go on the offensive.

I like the USA hats that are also available on the Trump website along with the MAGA hats. I also like the pastel MAGA hats. I might have to get one or the other.

How about educate marginalized people that your life is better and freer with Trump as president than your socialist thought police leader slave owners.

How about educate marginalized people that your negative emotions are not a claim on somebody else's free speech, nor are your negative emotions due to someone else's free speech.

That second one is simply a lesson of growing up and taking responsibility for your own emotions.

MAYBE you are not succeeding because you are not grown up. Maybe you need to take responsibility for your own future, regardless of the hardships you may face, sometimes due to the fact, but not in this case, that every group of humans, no matter how you categorize them, unless you categorize them by their merit and character, has a certain number of a-holes in it, which doesn't make those that fall into the category therefore a-holes or responsible for your ingratitude for your life.

Could it be that YOU are the a-hole? Could it be that YOU are the architect of your own misfortune and resentment?

Do they ever ask themselves this? Most happy successful people HAVE asked themselves this. It's why they are NOW happy! Because they answered 'hmmm, maybe I am in control, maybe there are a-holes out there, but maybe I still have enough God given free will to be happy and successful despite the evil in humanity that cuts across every category. Maybe it is my failure to realize that and take responsibility for my own life that is the part of this that I control that would make the difference for me.'

That's like 'Growing Up 101.'

You don't pass that course? You're pretty much guaranteed to think you've been marginalized. But who marginalized you when frankly everyone gets marginalized for something, everyone gets screwed during their lives in a way that could plausibly be an excuse one could give oneself for being resentful and unhappy?

Preachin' to the choir!

Isn’t that unbelievable?

If there is ANYTHING that indicates clearly just how wrong our society has become about many things, it is the fact that the US FLAG OR HAT can “trigger” people.

And these lunatics are saying we shouldn’t wear a hat or display a flag because it offends and triggers people?

They can kiss my a$$.

So Lemon knows those triggered by a Trump hat are weak-minded losers with no life or intelligence?

That’s something I guess...

Do I really need this? /s
