Trump attacks CNN's Don Lemon over debate question
The Hill ^ | 07/31/19 | Jessica Campisi

President Trump took aim at Don Lemon Wednesday, calling him “the dumbest man on television” over a question the CNN host asked during Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate.

"CNN’s Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television, insinuated last night while asking a debate ‘question’ that I was a racist, when in fact I am ‘the least racist person in the world.’ Perhaps someone should explain to Don that he is supposed to be neutral, unbiased & fair or is he too dumb (stupid} to understand that,” Trump tweeted.

"No wonder CNN’s ratings (MSNBC’s also) have gone down the tubes - and will stay there until they bring credibility back to the newsroom," he added. "Don’t hold your breath!”

Lemon, one of three moderators of Tuesday night’s primary debate, posed a question to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a White House hopeful, about Trump voters who “prioritize the economy over the president’s bigotry.”

“There are people that voted for Donald Trump before that aren't racist; they just wanted a better shake in the economy. And so I would appeal to them,” Klobuchar said. “But I don't think anyone can justify what this president is doing. Little kids literally woke up this weekend, turned on the TV, and saw their president calling their city, the town of Baltimore, nothing more than a home for rats. And I can tell you, as your president, that will stop.”

Trump is under fire for his recent attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), whom he called a “brutal bully” and a “racist” while slamming the House Oversight and Reform Committee chairman's Baltimore-area district as “rat and rodent infested.”

The president also faced backlash in recent weeks for his comments about a group of minority progressive congresswomen, whom he told to “go back” to their home countries, even though all four are U.S. citizens.

Despite many accusing him of being a racist, Trump insisted Tuesday that he is the “least racist person anywhere in the world.”

It’s racist to try and get those responsible, to improve a vermin infested black neighborhood.

It’s not racist to take all the black community’s money for themselves, not do anything to help the folks, and call anyone a racist who wants it improved.

Read from another source, last night CNN debate rating dropped a whopping 43% from the first NBC hosted debate.

So, yeah, Don Lemon is a hack, but a lot fewer people watched it.

I don’t know if this means most Democrats already made up their minds who to support, or they think it’s too early and they’d rather wait till the two dozen clowns sort themselves out.

Democrats play a continual game of villains and victims. In the Baltimore game of Villains and Victims, the Villains are Trump, climate change, NRA, rich white people and hard working, tax paying middle-class families. The Victims are the poor, the beat down, and underclass of Baltimore created over the last 50 years by DEMOCRATS, the real Villain. However, in this particular game, Trump has exposed the Villain. Sadly, the Victims are rendered helpless, and oblivious to the fact that they are being thrown under the bus for brand new Victim replacements. The new Victims are the illegals coming across the Southern Border. Nothing the Democrats can do now but scream “Racist” and wait to be saved by idiots and the media. I feel sorry for the old and new Victims.

Don Lemon asked a Guest if the missing Malaysian Airliner could have flown into a Black Hole.

The only thing going into a Black Hole is his White Boyfriend’s Weenie.

I remember a former democrat presidential candidate calling American "deplorable" and "irredeemable" among other things.
