""But," he added, "when some who may be unstable or has some mental issues, it becomes real, and they act. These tropes are incredibly dangerous in that regard."

CNN host Don Lemon doesn’t appear to believe that the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue was terrorism related, suggesting instead that Malik Faisal Akram, who was identified as the hostage-taker, was suffering from “mental illness.”

Lemon’s remarks contradict the FBI’s assessment that Akram, a British national who was killed after he took four people hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas, may have been a terrorist. ..."

I agree 100%. muslims and cnn anchors are mentally ill AND terrorists. Also remember AT&T has owned CNN for over 6 years now.

What a coincidence! That’s exactly how I downplay Don Lemon.

Don thinks he’s hot.

Folks, this is essentially nothing but the hoary old "No True Scotsman" Fallacy!

“suggesting instead that Malik Faisal Akram, who was identified as the hostage-taker, was suffering from “mental illness.”

Of course he was.
The mental illness known as Islam.
Easily treated with the caliber of the treatment providers choice.

Whites must never have mental illness

Because they never toss out the mental illness defense

Its just white racism/hate

[TexasFreeper2009]

anyone who is muslim is mentally ill.

Gaslighters gonna gaslight.

[AppyPappy]

I don’t think journalists think this out. They go from “He’s not a threat because he is a Muslim” to “He is a threat because he suffers from a mental illness like millions of Americans”

It’s called “BROTHERLY LOVE”....../sarc

[Paperpusher]

I don’t see how Don Lemon can call anyone else mentally ill.

[Deplorable American1776]

I’m surprised that I’m agreeing with Don The Lemon, it is a mental disorder. It is Islam!! 🤓

Thanks for introducing me to that phrase. I'll be using it from now on.

It took planning and coordination for the Pakistani born British citizen to come to the United States. Homeland Security honcho Mayorkas ok’ed the British citizen’s entrance to the U.S.. He visited several U.S. cities and purchased a gun, not at a gun store, but “on the street”, illegally. He went to a Temple, a Jewish place of worship, and held a Rabbi and several worshippers hostage for hours. This is not the actions of a deranged person, rather it is the action of a person filled with hatred.

Why does the media and left wing politicians, when confronted with Islamic inspired terror, go the mental illness route. Heck, Muslims can have mental illness', but when we're constantly given Lemon's take from said media and politicians, one could conclude Islam is a mental illness. I'm sure that's not what they're suggesting.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That mental illness is called Islam.

Now he’s a psychiatrist? Coming on to a stranger in a bar by fondling your genitals and then shoving your fingers in his mustache is a sure-fire sign of mental illness. It would be if the victim were female, especially if she had a mustache.

Don Limon probably likes sex with jihadis
