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.”

Mr. Lemon, America means everyone, not just one group of people. Grow up.
They can’t help but assault you, your clothing/appearance is so triggering.
It isn’t his fault he raped you, you enticed him with a short skirt.
You can’t blame the anti-Semite, he’s just triggered by your offensive kippa. Don’t wear the funny hat, and you won’t get hurt.
It isn’t the Muslim man’s fault he raped you, he can’t handle the sight of uncovered women.
They can’t stand the sight of an unbeliever/untouchable. If you just stayed hidden or in the acceptable jobs, no one would have hurt you. Don’t bother your moral superiors, don’t burden them with your presence.
LeMon can eat a Big Bag of Dicks.
He’s advocating for “heckler’s veto” i.e. for Anything they Don’t Like. This is BS and it has to end. The whole thing is completely batshit crazy, which I suppose is the point. To let a bunch of loons decide what is acceptable and what is not in everyday ordinary life is madness.
If people are “triggered” by this, then by all means, let’s get this party started. That’s what they want, then give it to them. Because ultimately it really doesn’t have anything to do with Donald Trump when you get right down to it. They will never be satisfied, they will never be appeased, acede to one demand, and they’ll have 12 more.
Don’t be fooled.
Nice reminiscence of a previous use of the “hat trigger” and to a man who is a better man than I am.
No way could I stand there and take their abuse and handle it like he did.
It is a return to mob violence and social moral codes having equal weight to crimes like rape and murder.
That is the same tribal morality code Islam uses to justify killing the atheist or convert from the faith, because their actions are an affront, an assault on the entire community.
It is this moral code, that equates violations of social rules with literal assault, that justifies killing the critic of Islam and weaponizes the lynch mob to kill someone merely accused of such. The actual guilt of the person is irrelevant, because they can say the intense, immediate punishment ensures no one else violates the rules ... the death of the falsely accused is outweighed by enforcement of the rules by fear.
They’re legitimizing mob violence and defining said triggers for mob violence. Instead of cries of witch or infidel, it is MAGA. Instead of killing someone for blasphemy against a religion, it is for uttering conservative “hate speech”.

Me, too. I just ordered mine (hat, t-shirt, and dog hoodie), and we can’t be the only two who did that.
Would be nice to know that the Covington Catholic Student incident also ‘triggered’ a huge spike in the MAGA gear sales.
That would be MAGA.
I fondly remember Dr. Raoul, he was a great guy.
LOL!
Marginalized = Delusional Snowflakes.
Wasn’t he also one of the freepers that wore the devil costume to greet Hillary at her book signing. I still laugh at that one!
Thanks...I couldn’t either. I am an emotional person, and when my temperature rises, two things can happen to me verbally: I either clam up, or remove all filters.
And I hate it when I remove all filters. I can say some of the most bald-faced and blunt things that I regret even as they come out of my mouth. It has caused me some pain.
So when I am confronted with Leftists, I instinctively clam up, because it won’t do any good for me to open my mouth.
But Doctor Raoul could do that just fine...:)
The funniest thing was watching the Indians and black whatevers trying to insult the kids into a fight... They just don’t get it - being called a cracker etc isn’t an insult because we feel sorry for the pathetic losers trying that hard to be hateful...
Yeah. My buddy and I traveled to his funeral.
Like you said: Great guy.
Don Lemon is starting to come across as a loser too. No one in their right mind believes in political censorship on that level... He might be a big deal pet of the 'elites' but they're not gonna go out on that limb with him.
LOL! You might be right! Tolerance, do you recall if it was Doctor Raoul that wore the Devil’s costume to the book signing? I remember hearing something about that...it was before I met you guys, I think
You just described my way of not-handling things to a T. lol
A man’s got to know his limitations! :)
thanks for sharing....
