CNN anchor Don Lemon said Friday on “CNN This Morning” that Tennessee Republicans who expelled two black lawmakers over a gun violence protest inside the state capitol did so because of “racism.”
Lemon said, “Look, it’s. They could have done a censure. Right. I think the right question was, why take the most drastic action afterwards? This is exactly what our country was built on. On protesting. Not everyone — protests aren’t perfect. It’s also unconscious bias. It’s racism. It’s a double standard in our society. Obviously, I don’t have to say. I doubt they would have done this to white members because guess what? They didn’t. They did it to the two black members. And especially the two black men. It’s like usually, especially with something like this, the way people think about black men in this society needs to really be examined, especially with protests, especially with how we express ourselves.”

I see Lemon has started a comedy career.
They were stupid not to expel the white rep as well.
Das Racisss!!
He even hates blacks he has a white husband
It’s racism to expect blacks to behave and follow the rules.
Is that similar to convicted black criminals being locked up in prison?
Well, one representative was going to vote the white woman out but changed his mind at the last time, thus making the whole thing seem racist.
In this day and age, blacks who scream “racism” do so because they think it’s an effective fog that will shield their personal character flaws. Playing victim is so much easier than facing harsh, true admonitions.
A black guy on CNN accusing whites of being racist? Wow....how bizarre. (sure)
So breaking the rules had nothing to do with these black militant subverts... it was because they were black.
Yeah, got it.
LOL! These 2 black bozos and 1 white bozo disrespected the chamber decorum by actively encouraged and participated in behavior that was not allowed on the house floor, They got RIGHTFULLY smacked down for it and expelled. Cry me a river for these subversives; these ‘militant’ reprobates that behave like children when they don’t get their way. They care NOTHING for children or who they allegedly represent with their shuck and jive circus side-show. They are opportunists, car salesmen... that use slain children(and tragedies) as a prop for their anti-American agenda. It’s all desperate acts in order to hold onto power, money and control.
Democracy is exactly what these sanctimonious disingenuous lying degenerate Democrats DON’T respect... THE MAJORITY RULE, which was the result of following the democratic process. Nobody in Tennessee wants their fascist authoritarian Marxist crap, so they voted most of these leftists Marxist anti-democratic anti-constitution jokers OUT! The authoritarian Dems are all happy with “THEIR” Democracy when Democrats are the majority and shove their garbage down our throats... but when the Democrats are outnumbered by a decisive majority of the opposition Republicans, the Democrats cry and whine that Republicans and those who voted for republicans are attacking democracy. Bwahahaha! That’s rich and insanely funny coming from the authoritarian persecution lynch-mob!
Nothing un-democratic about what the Republican majority did. They are the majority so they make the rules. which is a reflection of exactly what the Tennessee electorate wants! If Tennessee wanted communism and Marxist children in control, then the Tennessee voters would have voted THEM into the majority! Republicans are exercising their rights as the majority. IT’S CALLED ... wait for it ... DEMOCRACY! But instead, the leftist lunatics can’t swallow that they are powerless and have been relegated to a token communist sect of Che Guevara wanna-be’s! The projection and hypocrisy by these grifters are intellectually and immaturely on the level of a 6 year old.
Those crybaby Democrat communists can pound sand.
The focus should have been on behavior, not race or party. Dingbat Gloria Johnson should have been booted, too. So stupid.
My rep voted to expel all three, as she should have, so that saves me a call and an email.
Grr.
This crybaby cannot understand that if he were white, he would be unemployed. No talent, only hatred!
They were kicked out for their behavior, not for the melanin levels.
Judged completely by the content of their character.
Sounds like the White chick didn’t go as far as the other two...
