Can't see why someone would disagree with Lemon on this one, eh (do I actually need to indicate the sarc?)?

On Monday night, near the end of his CNN Tonight show, host Don Lemon got into a heated debate with right-leaning CNN political commentator Tara Setmayer after she began criticizing the media for giving the anti-gun Parkland student activists a forum to make incendiary attacks on the NRA and other opponents of gun control.
After she complained that, if you criticize the behavior of some of the students, "all of a sudden you're the bad guy," Lemon shot back: "You are the bad guy. Yes, you are, you are. These kids suffered an unimaginable tragedy. You let them vent, and then you move on."
The back and forth started at 11:53 p.m. Eastern, when Setmayer recalled that "Some of the rhetoric coming from some of the Parkland kids was a bit much," and then complained about the student activists "saying that the NRA has the blood of children on their hands."
Lemon brought up Benghazi as he countered: "During the election, I heard women whose son -- there was this one woman whose son had been killed in Benghazi, and she came out and she said really horrible things about, you know, Democrats and about Hillary Clinton, and no one criticized her because she was grieving."
After Setmayer continued, "You can't criticize the rhetoric because they are victims," the CNN host dismissively responded: "So what? They're kids -- so what?"
The right-leaning commentator then pointed out the problem of allowing inexperienced teenagers to decide what public policy should be: "We're elevating them to a point now where they're not making policy."
She added: "If you criticize some of what they're saying, then all of a sudden you're the bad guy."
Lemon asserted: "You are the bad guy.

Yep. He always reminds me of the talking head that tries to butt heads with actual experts. He’s just an interviewer/mediator that has no business interjecting his sophomoric viewpoints.

"These kids suffered an unimaginable tragedy." - Don Lemon.
Such bull$hit.
One must never criticize victims.
Got it. Except David Hogg wasn’t a victim. He’s fair game.
Even under Don Lemon’s definition.
Don must be “servicing” one of the executives. Why else would they keep him on?
Don Lemon is the faggpt CNN affirmative action guy.
Cameron seems angry and on the verge of hurting someone who doesn’t agree with him.
This whole protest was hijacked MINUTES after it even happened and the kids are being used and it's sickening. The only parallels between Benghazi and Parklnad is that it's lie after lie, cover up upon cover up and the left who are the miserable bastards who are responsible.
How about if I'm just niggardly with my praise?
Don Lemon has the IQ of a “fruit”.

I don’t care that Lemmon is a DNC activist, but I do care that CNN was a propaganda mouth piece for Saddam Hussein.

Anti gun parkland students are pawns in the corrupt utopian catastrophe that is Broward county.
Black politicians upto and including the black President Obama killed the 17 by conscious inaction. History will out the black south florida debacle in which idealistic whites were complicit
Anderson Pooper has a thing for him?
Read some years ago that leftist gun control was not about guns or safety, but a way to punish all those wrong-headed conservatives.
But you were in a “bad guy” free zone...
