Former CNN anchor and independent journalist Don Lemon, who was indicted earlier this year on federal charges stemming from his coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church, says he is leaning toward a potential run for the White House.

Lemon: “Look, I never say never. Look, I’ve got a lot on my plate right now doing what I’m doing. This is not easy to do every day, but I am very aware of the importance of what I’m doing, what it means to the culture and society. … When I’m out there, they’re not only saying thank you for what I’m doing, they say, ‘Would you ever consider running for office?’ And I say, ‘Well, you know, I thought about it.’ ‘Would you ever run for president?’ And I said, ‘Oh, well, definitely. I think I could be a better president than Donald Trump.’ So that’s where that came from.”

This is a comment on his pathetically inflated sense of self and on his inability to self-assess. What an incredible loser.

I think Gutfeld’s eyes just rolled back in pure delight.

He’s gotta earn somehow.

Even a snowball in hell would have a better chance than this idiot in a general election for ocean buoy rust maintenance director, much less President.

He should already be doing 5 to 10 for storming that church service, with an organized mob, trampling the rights of worshippers.

[Capn Hayek]

PLEASE let this happen!

I think it’s gotta be about impossible to get less than 10 votes if you make it onto a ballot on a party line or even as a petition-based independent.

But, I’d like to see someone “try” just to find out.

Is Massie or MTG going to be his running mate?
Da crazy got to stick together

[lee martell]

Sour Lemon’s latest publicity stunt. He will hire a Ghostwriter to cobble a book together about his campaign experience. Saying how it confirms America’s Racism

[Beowulf9]

Plan to keep campaign contributions? Think he'll get the church vote ?

[Who is John Galt?]

Campaign slogan:

VOTE LEMON TO GET A LEMON!

Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

He definitely should run. We should encourage him to do so.

FTA: “This is not easy to do every day, but I am very aware of the importance of what I’m doing, what it means to the culture and society…”

No ego there, just total chutzpah.

delusional

[econjack]

If a race was between him and my dog, guess who I’d pick.

[econjack]

He definitely should run.

You're right...we should encourage him. We need to see if he could beat McGovern's ass-whuppin' when he only carried one state. He even lost in his home state! I think Lemon would do worse.
