CNN's Don Lemon says 'we are teetering on a dictatorship' following Trump's George Floyd address
Fox News ^ | June 01 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

CNN anchor Don Lemon offered a dire warning to the country following President Trump's Rose Garden address about the George Floyd protests.

On Monday evening, the president expressed sympathy over the police-involved killing of George Floyd but also wielded the power of the military, vowing to deploy armed services if states don't have the riots under control.

Lemon, who over the weekend demanded to hear from Trump after previously insisting that "nobody wants to hear" from him, indicated that he did not like what the president had to say.

For reference, what the President actually said: LIVE: President Trump to address nation amid unrest

After listing several acts of violence: "These are not acts of peaceful protest. These are acts of domestic terror. The destruction of innocent life, and the spilling of innocent blood is a offense to humanity and a crime against God."

ANTIFA and others were just waiting for a excuse to riot and the news gave it to them. The President has a responsibility to respond. Don't like his response, don't riot, don't burn homes and business, and don't attack people in the streets.

hmmmm so the left thinks arresting salon owners and small business owners for trying to server their customers and that's fine. Stopping rioting is a dictatorship?

He really should attend a “rally” and hold some bricks, just for fun. Better yet if he wears a mask and carries an umbrella.

Please.....

Exactly. Perhaps writing scripts for Hollywood. They are in La La Land, too.

Tethering on a dictatorship”? That will be Frau Whitmer in Michigan. She is not “tethering” on anything.

The word is "teetering." Has an entirely different meaning that "tethering."

Once is a typo, twice is a misunderstanding.

Don LeMon should know a lot about “dictatorships”, aka “dicks and taters and chips”.

As Tim Mathiesson said at the end of “Animal House” when he knocked out one of his ROTC pursuers, “Boy are you dumb/stupid”.

Don’s boyfriends, when asked “How do you like Don?” replied, “With a lemon and peppermint stick”.

The media in this country (MSM) are all complicit and probably involved up to their eyeballs in insurrection and treason in this country. It does not matter what the president or most decent people think or say, they are going to try to demonize it. People in this country that want to keep and strengthen this republic and abide by the constitution have to come to grips that we are at war within. I believe a lot more folks are seeing it now.

They squawk that he should do the exact opposite of whatever it is he does. Every single time.

That’s their shtick and they’re shtikin’ to it!

Does Don Lemonade even know who Eisenhower was?

Does Don Lemonade understand that he was hired for no other reason than because he is both black and gay?

Mr. Lemon, America has watched a real dictatorship form through the rioting, looting, burning, destruction and hurting people for the past week. A dictatorship which was not honoring the death of an innocent black man, but, instead, celebrating it with cruel and destructive behavior, designed to bring down a country. Where have you been? Oh, now I remember. I believe this is what you and your employer, CNN, have campaigned for and propagandized for over many years. You should be happy now. Your efforts are bearing fruit and destroying America for every skin color that has been fortunate to live here until now. We are all mortal, in case you haven’t noticed. When you are a bit older, you will get it, but then, it will be too late to change the consequences of this attack against America. We have come through a lot in these 200+ years, but, only the direct intervention a our God will save us from this one. My opinion.

They set Trump up for this. The idea was to call him a nazi if he responded with force, and to call him a failure if he did nothing. This crisis was blown up all out of proportion by the left precisely to create a major crisis for Trump, and then trash him no matter what he did.

Lemon must be off his meds. But then, I’m not sure there are meds that can help him.
