Don Lemon has unwittingly let CNN's cat out of the bag. Guests aren't there to engage in an actual discussion. They're brought on to express a specific opinion. And if they try to stray from CNN's script, they will be shut down.
Lemon gave a perfect illustration of the phenomenon on Monday's CNN This Morning. The guest was Len Khodorkovsky, a former Trump administration official, who is Jewish. And in Lemon's mind, the clear purpose of Khodorkovsky's appearance was to have him criticize Trump for hosting a dinner with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West.
In fact, in a variety of ways, Khodorkovsky did just that. He began with: "Let's just call Nick Fuentes for who he is. He is an antisemite, he's repulsive, his views are disgusting. And no one of any substance should give him any forum"
But when he tried to expand the conversation to include antisemitism among elected Democrats including Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, AOC, and President Obama, Lemon shut him down.

That is true. If Ye, for example, were actually the anti-semitic character his recent speech implies then all of the people who associated with him, and did billions of dollars of business with him, should also be judged for their interactions with him. Obama endorsed Ye, and posed in photographs with Ye, and Adidas did hundreds of millions of dollars in business with him.
LOL!
I think the kid has you manipulated; but, whatever...
I’m reminded of the Christian leader that was flagged as a racist for saying Nelson Mandela did not speak for the majority of blacks in South Africa. Yet his statement was absolutely accurate.

Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani referred to it as a pogrum, but they’re Republicans so what do they know. Don’t think the terms matter, riot is pretty bad too, but the facts do fit a pogrum, Commentary Magazine referred to it as an New York Kristallnacht. None of which would cause the media to condemn meeting with the instigator.
Mentally, Don Lemon is light years below Len Khodorkovsky.
Lemon is an affirmative action newsman. Double minority, gay and black.
“Once again Lemon runs up on a superior intellect.”
I even noticed that when he interviewed Fetterman.
It’s OK for Muslims to hate Jews because they are at a much lower rung on the Oppression Ladder. It’s not OK for Whites to hate Jews because they are at very top rung on the Oppression Ladder. Got it, racist? :)
Sorry, but there are real antisemitic attacks, and there are real antisemites like Nick Fuentes. The fact that the Left misuses a term for politics, doesn’t mean it isn’t an issue.
If you don’t like what he says, don’t listen to him. This isn’t Europe where doubting any aspect of the Holocaust is illegal. We have sunk to the point where attaching “denier” to everything is supposed to put an end to debate, “climate denier”, “science denier”, “white privilege denier”, “election denier”, and it all springs from the success at squashing freedom of speech that started with “Holocaust denier”.
I have NEVER heard of Nick Fuentes until this!!!
