Hey CNN. Ukraine isn't in the middle east and here is where the cities really are:

He got a bigger audience from this than he ever gets on his low-rated show. – CNN’s dimwitted, haughty night-time host Don Lemon made actual news over the past two days when he played host to another in a long line of segments ridiculing the average, hard-working Americans who make up the preponderance of President Donald Trump’s support base.
In case you’ve managed to miss it to this point, here’s a clip of the segment in question, which apparently took place on Saturday:
Col. Rob Maness ret. ✔ @RobManess Will @donlemon have some of us @realDonaldTrump supporters on his show? I’ll put my Harvard & four other college degrees plus 4 decades of work experience up against his & any opposing guest he chooses any time.

So, this is likely to become the next “deplorables” incident committed by the demented Democrats and their corrupt media toadies. The joker on the right in the clip with Lemon is the detestable hack Rick Wilson, a pretend “conservative” who worked on the … wait for it … Evan McMullin presidential campaign in 2016. He now makes money by being one of CNN’s fake conservative mascots. The clown on the left is some guy named Wajahat Ali, who bills himself on Twitter as an op/ed contributor for the … wait for it … New York Times, and an on-air contributor for CNN. Because of course he is.
Clowns to the left of Lemon, Jokers to the right, there he is, stuck in the middle on national television, ridiculing 63 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump in 2016, and the millions more who have joined his supporter base since. Not really a good look, even for a CNN host with the IQ and character of the average Louisiana swamp nutria.
Lemon apparently got a scolding from his corporate bosses over the segment on Tuesday, after the clip had gone viral Monday night. Which can only be attributed to someone at parent company AT&T fearing that it might not be good for its cellular service or DirecTV customer base for CNN’s on-air [bad] talent to be actively ridiculing half of the American public. Certainly, no one in CNN’s own management gives a damn about such considerations, as demonstrated by the fake news channel’s behavior over the last five years.
Regardless of who in corporate management initiated the action, Lemon obviously spent much of his day on Tuesday with CNN’s HR and communications staff, and came up with a very Clintonian non-apology to recite at the start of his show Tuesday night:
Curtis Houck ✔ @CurtisHouck #BREAKING: @DonLemon addressing the now-viral Saturday @CNNTonight segment mocking and showing such venom toward Trump supporters. Not surprisingly, Lemon deflected: "I don't believe in belittling people....In the moment...I didn't catch everything that was said."

And one final note that I have for you because this is personally important to me to address this, okay? Anyone, ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you I don’t believe in belittling people [Ah, the old Clintonian “ask anyone who knows me” dodge. Standard non-apology tactic there.]
— belittling anyone for who they are, what they believe, or where they’re from. [Yet, the clip clearly shows Lemon roaring with laughter, to the point of tears, as his two dimwitted guests belittled millions of ordinary Americans out here in Flyover Country for ‘who they are, what they believe, and where they’re from.’]
During an interview on Saturday night, one of my guests said something that made me laugh and while in the moment I found the joke humorous, and I didn’t catch everything that was said. [Oh, boy, the “I didn’t catch everything that was said” dodge, which is just a slight variation from the “I was misquoted” dodge and the “I was taken out of context” dodge. Again, standard non-apology tactic.]
Just to make this perfectly clear, I was laughing at the joke and not at any group of people.” [And yet, clearly, Don Lemon, Rick Wilson and that Ali guy who nobody’s ever heard of were laughing uproariously at an easily-identified group of people called “Trump supporters.”]
Lemon’s statement – no doubt dictated to him by his AT&T/CNN bosses – was not an apology at all. It was simply more condescension towards a group of millions of Americans he personally hates and who his bosses simply do not value. It was a desperate and insincere act by a haughty, thoughtless jackass whose only real concern is that he doesn’t want his face to be featured in thousands of Trump/Republican campaign ads this Fall.
Well, sorry, Don – too late for that. Any Republican candidate who doesn’t produce a TV ad featuring this clip is a Republican candidate who is probably too dumb to win his or her election.
Thanks for the gift.
What comes next? On tonight’s show – or maybe he’ll wait until tomorrow – Lemon will start claiming he is receiving death threats over the clip, a tactic to which Ali already resorted in a Tweet on Tuesday. It’s nonsense, but hey, it’s on the next page of the playbook.
These people hate you and wish you were dead. Never, ever forget that.
That is all.
The leftist commies in this country do hate us and wish we were dead. But, it goes much further and deeper. Do not ever forget, that if they ever have the opportunity, they would take pleasure in making us dead.
Oh, but he apologized! /s
Joe Concha had a great point. The bigots Schmit and that swatthy dude wo pens for NYT are frequent guests on the programming. The guests provide much of the content.
Schmidt and swarthy guy are on twiiiiter, “tripling down” in the insults. If the press wanted this to stop, they would not allow these guests to appear.
Realize this is would pass for evidence in a court of law
(unless it was Adam Schiff saying it) BUT
I just heard a radio announcer, who i believe is gay and “married” to a man, say that he knows the guy who was assaulted and claims he is telling the truth.

A lot of people have been commenting on his official CNN videos (I’m one of them) about how the right is having fun and the left is not, and the team having fun is usually the one that wins. So maybe he was just trying to appear to be “having fun”.
But he’s doing it wrong. :)
Folks...it’s Don Lemon & CNN that are politically dead...period. All one has to do is look at that gigantic crowd (50,000-100,00 people) of Trumpies last evening that gathered to cheer & support POTUS, Donald J. Trump in Wildwood, New Jersey and will again Tomorrow evening in Des Moines, IOWA to get a grip on the destruction of the entire Democrap Party, politically. Game over for the entire Democrap Party...politically!!!
You Democrap fools that are taking part in the Democrap 2020, POTUS candidate IOWA Caucus would be wise to write in Donald J. Trump, or, better yet, “MICKEY MOUSE”...then the deadbeats morons you have put forth as viable POTUS material...none of them are!!!
The commies have been around since the Progressive Era, but most have disguised themselves since around 1915. After Obama got elected and Newsweek headlined “We Are All Socialists Now” on its cover, the commies have taken off their masks.
Democrats have always held their conservative, small-government opponents in contempt and believed them to be ignorant rubes. The Don Lemon clip reveals that this is true not only of Democrats, but also establishment Republicans. Rick Wilson is a Never-Trump Republican, not a Democrat.
It should be clear from this episode that establishment Republicans hold small-government conservatives in the same contempt as do Democrats. Sure, establishment Republicans indulge small-government conservatives when they seek their votes and financial support, but when they do so, they are playing us for fools. Rick Wilson has done us all a favor by showing how establishment Republicans view small-government conservatives.
Not only that but it is all debunked anyway.
Dave:
It isn’t ridicule of JUST Trump voters. My son-in-law voted for Hillary and considering voting for Wang or Bernie.
e works overtime at the local Meijer warehouse, making middle-class wages. He has two children, a wife and a house.
He shops at Costco, goes to church every Sunday (when he isn’t working), clips coupons and generally enjoys being an American.
Correspondingly, Don Lemon (and panel) mocked him, too and Plenty of other DEMOCRAT voters.
Democrats believe EVERYONE is too stupid to vote.
Don Lemon is better drunk on the air.
“RNC launches new ad.”
I think that ad was released before the last laugh tear had rolled down Don Lemon’s cheek. That’s pretty good for a bunch of “credulous rubes” over at the RNC.
Don Lemon is a dirty Communist c*cksucker.
Sodomites. Is there nothing they don’t know?
“The leftist commies in this country do hate us and wish we were dead. But, it goes much further and deeper. Do not ever forget, that if they ever have the opportunity, they would take pleasure in making us dead.”
That’s a fact, as it is the bedrock of leftist thought. All the more reason to NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS!
Hey CNN. Ukraine isn't in the middle east and here is where the cities really are:
Very good.
So...
I guess the question still remains..
Will Don Lemon be the Host at the upcoming presidential
debates?
