CNN’s Lemon on Americans in Afghanistan: ‘We Don’t Know if We Left Them Behind Yet’
Breitbart ^ | 09/02/2021 | Pam Key

CNN anchor Don Lemon on Wednesday during the handoff from fellow anchor Chris Cuomo said we did not yet know if we left “behind” Americans and Afghan allies stranded in Afghanistan.

Lemon said, “Listen, I understand the emotion around it but let’s be a little bit unemotional here, if we can. Wars are terrible. This is our longest war. I think in any situation, whether you agree with the exit or not, you’re not going to get all of the people out that you want in the time period. I think that is asking for something that’s not — you can’t accomplish that. It’s just not going to happen in any situation.”

With a qualifier word like ‘yet’ you can say ANYTHING.

i.e.

‘We don’t know if there is climate change, yet.’......................

Everyone left behind wanted to stay for the beautiful beaches and friendly locals.

Sounds like a variation of “mistakes were made”…

The next helicoper you see coming off the top of a building might be at CNN.

Dawn LeMon should spend less time sticking his hands down men’s pants at bars and more time learning the facts about the news he pretends to cover.

Joe Biden kicked off the rockslide that turned into this avalanche.

He didn’t have to.

It was his choice.

But…..

Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.

Cuomo must have taken a mild smart pill. Lemon is a cocky bugger, really a shallow thinker who thinks of himself as an intellect.

But they still proclaim their love of one another.

“Somebody supported these stupid Democrat sons of bitches.”

I think it was a bunch of blacks raping the voting machines in Atlanta.

But they sure know it.
