On CNN's Don Lemon Tonight Monday, the host wanted to reflect on the life and career of Gen. Colin Powell, who died earlier in the day at 84. But first, Lemon took issue with multiple Fox News anchors who began raising questions about vaccines “literally minutes” after the news of Powell’s death broke.
“Shame on them,” Lemon said. “I just found it to be disgusting. I cannot believe it happened. Every day I'm more surprised when that happens.”
Lemon played examples of anchors on Fox News quickly turning the news of Powell’s passing into a discussion about vaccines and also highlighted a twice-deleted tweet from Fox’s John Roberts, who also began to question the vaccine’s efficacy earlier in the day.
Lemon also pointed out that his peers at Fox News didn’t immediately mention that Powell had many underlying factors that contributed to his death, including his age and that he suffered from Parkinson’s disease as well as a blood cancer known as multiple myeloma — precisely the kind of “immunocompromised” condition that experts have said from the start could lead to lower vaccine efficacy.
And Lemon said that medical experts have already said that Powell’s death should not lead to any concerns about the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines, but rather a further emphasis on getting vaccinated to help protect the more vulnerable parts of the population, like Powell.
Lemon went on to discuss the impact and importance of Powell’s contributions to the country over the years, and shared a few personal anecdotes from the time he spent with Powell and things they discussed.
“Seriously?” he wondered after one clip. “A man just died and this guy can't wait to make it into a fight about vaccine mandates? It is disgraceful.”

You'll always find what you're looking for
Into every life a few Lemons will fall,
You can either make lemonaide,.. or continue with your sour face and chew on it !
Remind this a$$hole of the Wellstone memorial. 2002.
LOL. All morning on Monday leftists on Twitter blamed the unvaccinated for giving Powell Covid, without evidence.
You got that right.
I’m so old that I can remember when CNN reported news.
Colon Bowel was incompetent as a a military man.
He had us pull out too soon in the first Gulf War, resulting in a second Gulf War years later.
He did not allow the US to use armored vehicles in Somalia, resulting in the Mogadushu disaster with the whole muslim world watching as the dead bodies of US soldiers were dragged through the streets.
He was a fake republican affirmative action political figure who voted for Obama as soon as he could.
Why is it not the first question asked about someone who died of covid?
Taking morality lessons from Don Lemon? ...Pass.
And Lemon said that medical experts have already said that Powell’s death should not lead to any concerns about the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines, but rather a further emphasis on getting vaccinated to help protect the more vulnerable parts of the population, like Powell.

The first obit I saw was from CNN. It was only 3-4 lines in before they started in on the Iraq intel issue.
So Mr. Lemonaid is mad FOX beat him to the political punch?

Don Lemon isn’t a thinker he’s reacts to things.
CNN politicized it too; they politicize it and gloat when an anti-vaxxer gets Covid or dies from it. They’ve politicized Covid every step of the way.
Laymone
Gaymone!
Rush Limbaugh.
I have no patience for this ... person.
