Don Lemon Likened To ‘Hunger Games’ Creep In Trump Campaign Video; CNN Host Explains “Boomer Rube” Crack-Up – Update
Deadline ^ | January 29, 2020 | Ted Johnson

Posted on 01/29/2020 11:47:53 AM PST by EdnaMode

UPDATE, with Trump Campaign video President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign team has wasted little time using the Don Lemon “Boomer Rube” moment to stir up support. In a mash-up video that combines footage of the CNN segment with clips from The Hunger Games, Team Trump juxtaposes Lemon with the unctuous purple-haired TV host played in the film by Stanley Tucci.

Watch it below.

“Liberal ‘elites’ in The Capitol ruling class look down on the people,” says the message accompanying the tweeted clip. “They laugh at you. They mock you. They think you don’t matter. Let’s prove them wrong on November 3rd.”

Last night, Lemon addressed why he was laughing during the CNN segment over the weekend that Trump’s allies have seized upon as an example of how the media elite mocks and belittles Trump supporters.

The video is available at the link. This is amazing. The left behaves exactly like the Capitol elites in the Hunger Games, including wanting to get rid of the electoral college.

I’ve been saying this forever. This is why leftists loved the books and movies so much.

They nailed it.

Come November we are going to “Make Don Lemon Cry Again” (MDLCA).

It won’t be so funny to him and his disgusting fudge packer buddies then.

Thanks for the links, but I didn’t see any mash-up with Hunger Games in them. Sure that is the same video referenced in the article?

My daughter went through a heavyweight Hunger Games period when the movies came out (she was in high school) and induced me to watch a couple of them with her.

I thought their portrayal of the Capital Zone culture looked a lot like CNN and Washington DC, including the simpering, effeminate news personalities.

This is us !!
The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday. 47 times.

They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, blue hairs, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are “Baby Boomers” getting ready to retire, others are from the Greatest Generation already retired. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, raised our children, worshiped our God and have grown old together.

In school we studied English, history, math, and science, which enabled us to lead America into the technological age. We still use two spaces after a period when typing. Most of us remember what outhouses were, many of us with firsthand experience. We remember the days of telephone party-lines, $.25 gasoline, and milk and ice being delivered to our homes.

We are probably considered old fashioned and outdated by many. But there are a few things you need to remember before completely writing us off. We won World War II, fought in Korea and Vietnam. We can quote “The Pledge of Allegiance”, and know where to place our hand while doing so. We wore the uniform of our country with pride, and lost many friends on the battlefield. We didn’t fight for the Socialist States of America; we fought for the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” We wore different uniforms but carried the same flag.
We know the words to the “Star Spangled Banner,” “America,” and “America the Beautiful” by heart, and you may even see some tears running down our cheeks as we sing. We have lived what many of you should have read in history books and we feel no obligation to apologize to anyone for America.

Yes, we are older and slower these days but rest assured, we have at least one good fight left in us. We love this country, fought and died for it, and now we are going to save it. It is our country and nobody is going to take it away from us. We took oaths to defend America against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that’s an oath we plan to keep. There are those who want to destroy this land we love but, like our founders, there is no way we are going to remain silent.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the “Hope and Change” which in reality was nothing but “Hype and Lies” from your college professors. You youngsters need to taste socialism and see evil face to face to understand you don’t like it after all. You make a lot of noise, most are all too interested in their careers or “Climbing the Social Ladder” to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting. Many of those who fell for the “Great Lie” in 2008 are now having buyer’s remorse. With all the education we gave you, you didn’t have sense enough to see through the lies and instead drank the ‘Kool-Aid.’

Well, don’t worry youngsters, the Grey-Haired Brigade is here, and in 2016 we took back our nation. We may drive a little slower than you would like, but we get where we’re going, and in 2020 we’re driving to the polls again by the millions.

So the next time you have the chance to say the Pledge of Allegiance, stand up, put your hand over your heart, honor your country, and thank God for the old geezers of the “Gray-Haired Brigade. (author unknown)

Footnote: This is spot on. I am another Gray-Haired Geezer signing on. I will circulate this to other Gray-Haired Geezers all over this still great country. Can you feel the ground shaking? It’s not an earthquake, it’s a STAMPEDE. And, you and I are members.
In God we STILL trust!

Thanks!

Wow I was blown away by that last CNN guest who said “these are not people who matter to humanity”. Unreal. Trump campaign is right to say it straight - “these people hate you”.

How did that generation go from the Summer of love to the Winter of Discontent? Their values are truly effed up. How can a person - a liberal, a member of a minority group who demands respect and equal social representation - be so full of hate for millions of Americans? Because of politics? It is truly a mental illness.
