Don Lemon was barely a year old during the Summer of Love.

I did not understand what he meant by boomer rube demo. I took boomer to be baby boomer and rube to be a person from a rural area. But what did he mean by demo?

But what did he mean by demo?

Demographic.

Except in the movie the “rubes” end up kicking their A$$E$ and slaughtering the elite rulers.

There’s that...

Yeah but the guest making the comment was probably hanging around Haight Ashbury at the time.

I have my own beef with Lemon. He’s black, he’s gay, and he’s very sensitive to perceived slights to either identities - but he laughs at others. He has had several guests who have made off-color comments about Jews - so much so that a Jewish group wrote him a letter explaining why they found these comments so offensive. In return, Lemon invited guests back on who made even more anti-Jewish slights. Even after be politely explained that he was offending an ethnic group he shrugged it off.

So like I said I don’t know someone could be so obtuse and hypocritical.
