Don Lemon breaks down, begs Democrats: 'The rioting has to stop'
American Thinker ^ | Taylor Lewis

Posted on 08/27/2020 3:19:36 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Don Lemon's timbre has never quivered so much. Even when he wept while reciting his own philippic to President Trump, the CNN host wasn't this unmistakably grave.

"The rioting has to stop ... it's showing up in the polling, it's showing up in focus groups," he warned Tuesday night, referencing the nightly violence in cities like Portland, Ore. and Kenosha, Wis. Lemon was conversing with fellow host and quarantine scofflaw Chris Cuomo, but he was speaking directly to his target audience: Democrats, elected or otherwise.

*snip*

Democratic executives are starting to cave, after giving tacit approval to the smoking out of their metro downtowns. Wisconsin's Governor Evers has requested that the Wisconsin National Guard step in to temper the Kenosha unrest. Oregon's governor, Kate Brown, put out a Twitter dictum, practically begging the malcontents to vacate: "It's time for the violence and vandalism to end so Portland can focus on the important work to be done to achieve real change for racial justice." With that kind of stern ultimatum, it's a virtual guarantee those Portland rascals will pick up their trash and put away their toys before heading home. Even D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser is joining the tut-tut bandwagon, criticizing BLM activists after they bawled out white diners for not showing enough fealty to the cause.

If spectators look closely, they can see Democratic campaign coaches on the sidelines calling the next audible.

could the October surprise be a “Speech of the Ages” from the lord himself, Barack Hussein Obama, insisting that only democrat leadership can stop the violence, and miraculously the looting stops until the election while the media praises Obama and the democrats as the party of security.

or maybe even someone like Mooch to take over Biden when they force him out.

So the Dems finally found a reason why destroying cities is bad?

Who does Lemon beg to stop violence? Democrats! They own it. Party of crime and corruption on full display. Their abuse of authority deserves pounding head thump at polls and relegation to the dusty pages of history. This is said in difference to some of the honorable Democratic statesmen we have had, but that party no longer exists.

All they care about is the damn polls. Th worm is turning. Next, is to blame it on Trump, but they’ve already tried that, and Trump has offered help lots of times

Mr. McCloskey nailed it. The rioters want power, not justice.

There you have it; Democrats are far more concerned with getting and maintaining POWER.

All the Democrats I have ever talked to would always chide me for not being concerned with people’s lives. Not caring about the less fortunate.

Well, here you have the perfect example of how concerned the politically active Democrat actually thinks.

Here you have a Democrat more concerned about how the riots are going to effect the election than he is about how those riots are kill and maiming people or destroying people’s businesses, destroying their livelihoods and destroying their relationships with family, friends and their government.

At what time was this NOT true?

“...only when the rioting, looting, and mayhem begin to adversely affect Dem polling and thus their potential path to power do they suddenly want it to stop. Before the bad polling Democrats and the corrupt MSM were perfectly fine with the “peaceful protesting”. Very revealing,”

Very damning.

And, he believes MSM calling for an end will end it. Why so late, Mr. Lemon?

The Democrats are only concerned with power because they don't actually believe in anything or even have a practical program for improvement of the Country.

They are like a teenager who stands for nothing, believes in nothing, cares about nothing...but just wants to be loved for himself/herself.

Selfishness personified.

there were probably a few lone voices warning their fellow Democrats not to go all the way with the impeachment extravaganza. But they were ignored too.

Last night he was blaming the shooting of the three thugs on Trump. Not sure if they should give him the credit politically.

"The rioting has to stop ... it's showing up in the polling, it's showing up in focus groups," - Don Lemon'

Our cities don't matter, businesses don't matter, nothing matters except 'IS THE VIOLENCE WORKING TO ELECT BIDEN'...
