Jewish Ex-Trump Staffer Let Don Lemon HAVE IT on Trump Dinner with Anti-Semite Fuentes
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/28/2022 10:01:56 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

Ater all Ye, et al are complex human beings. The label attached to them regarding Jews is not who they are. It’s an accusation and also, even if true, is only a part of their persona.

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.

When Lemonhead said: “This is about Donald Trump” the response should have been, “No this is about antisemism. And Trump is not antisemitic. Antisemitism is being generated in the mainstream by Obama, AOC, Omar and Louis Farrikan. A frequent guest on the liberal channel, Al Sharpton motivated an antisemitic riot in New York City where a young Jewish man was killed. The topic is antisemitism, and lets talk about that.”

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.

calling someone a Nazi should also be ignored.

Fuentes is a Holocaust denier who makes jokes about backing 6 million cookies.

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 called for anyone to be silenced. I have a 30 year record of answering antisemites online, not silencing them. As I said befor, leftist misuses of a term doesn't make the underlying issue go away.
Holocause denial is bad and someone claiming to be a European American should hate it. Grievance addled and tribal thinking helps the left.
