MELTDOWN: Lemon Goes on Insane Rant Defending Riots as ‘Mechanism’ for Change
Newsbusters ^ | May 31, 2020 | Curtis Houck

CNN Tonight host Don Lemon suffered a meltdown for the ages Saturday night, spending almost 11 minutes unloading his disdain for America in 2020 and, except for a mealy-mouthed condemnation, giving support for the rioting and other criminal acts supposedly done to mourn the Monday death of Minneapolis African-American man George Floyd.

Lemon’s defense? Apparently, this will all serve as a “mechanism for a restructure of our country or for some sort of change,” ostensibly in our criminal justice and political system seeing as how so many feel as though they “have nothing to lose.”

And for those upset with the rioting and people losing their livelihoods? Well, Lemon mocked them because, according to him, this kind of destruction led to America’s founding with the Boston Tea Party.

Don was pretty sanguine about the immolation of cities, UNTIL the fires came close to his favorite gay bar.

Nor are they black. They are oriental or Arabic. Guess they are fighting for racial equality.

Why is Lemon giving his opinion on air at all? If he will admit that his ‘show’ is an opinion show, and not hard factual news, then he can say what he wants. If he wants to be thought of as a legitimate truth-based news reporter, then he should not offer his opinions. That goes for all of what are labeled ‘the news’.

What Lemon has in mind is a repeat of the French Revolution. SJW warriors and courts replace the criminal system. White people who supported the previous regime are beheaded, followed by people who don’t submit to SJW rule, followed by the murder of factional opponents.

Lemon would be executed early in the process as his liberal black privilege status won’t protect him.

We don't need 'police reform' - MURDER IS ALREADY AGAINST THE LAW - we need "black thug culture" reform.

This wasn't Selma ...
