CNN’s Don Lemon snapped at Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany for accusing media of shifting focus away from radical Islamic terrorism and toward guns.
After reading McEnany a ruling from PolitiFact, which said Trump had falsely represented Hillary Clinton‘s record on guns, McEnany deflected by blaming the media for “being desperate” to make the discussion following the Orlando terrorist attack about guns and not about Islam.
Lemon, reporting from Orlando, snapped: “No the media’s not trying to make this about guns. It’s not, it’s not,” he said.
“Yes, they are!” she responded.
“Kayleigh, it is not trying to make this about guns,” Lemon said. “I am speaking for the family members who I have been sitting down with since Sunday, who are upset. Some are Republicans, some are Democrats, some are independents. All of them say they believe in the Second Amendment. But they’re tired of this partisan bickering […] about the Second Amendment. Donald Trump says at every turn that Hillary Clinton wants to abolish the Second Amendment. And if that is a lie, then we are obligated to point it out. It is not true, and you should not go on national television and say that it’s true when it is not. That is who is making this a partisan thing, bringing it up, it’s Donald Trump, it’s not the media.”
McEnany defended Trump’s position on guns and still demanded to know why there weren’t more segments on cable news talking about Islamic extremism. She said talking about guns “was an injustice to the families.”
“No one is ignoring extremism,” Lemon countered. “Our whole show is about Islamic extremism.”
Co-panelist Maria Cardona said, “This is exactly why we cant have a sensible conversation. Even when confronted with facts, Trump and his supporters ignore them as if they don’t exist.”

Right after my ancestors decapitated their culture, sacked then burned the center of the Islamic world at the time (Baghdad) and killed most of their men. Starting in 1219 and lasting a century or so.
Perhaps they should have thought about it before sending the head of the Khan’s friend back in a box to the Khan.
MSM are owned ( follow the money ) . Journalists are whores or lunatics or both !
HOPE that people realize that
See post 21. My ancestors went and expressed their *extreme* displeasure with their behavior starting in 1219. The reason why Islamic Middle Eastern culture seems to be stuck in the Middle Ages is because my ancestors went and *killed* millions of the people who would have been their best and brightest and made the rest flee. The then-popular Middle Eastern combat style of sending your best and brightest out as army champions in front of the body of the army and challenging the opposing force to single combat didn’t help their cause much.
“Can I ask why Don Lemon “snapped”????”

Very good question. I would suggest that it’s getting very uncomfortable knowing the jig may be up for the lying media.
‘According to FBI data, 2016 is on pace to set the record for the most firearm background checks in a year.’ [pre-Orlando]
Are all the male anchors at CNN gay? They seem to have a lot of them, compared to their population.
Obama and the media are definitely making this all about guns.
If they made all guns illegal, this attack would have been identical. There is no legal heroin yet in any big city you can score some within 5 minutes. Same with pot. The killer would have bought an illegal gun.
Just today in weapon free England, a member of Parliament was shot dead.
Laws don’t stop criminals. This argument is so dumb.
It’s not about weapons. It’s about control. Once they take the weapons from Americans it’s total control and invasion time for the liberal agenda.
See 28.
What is the only knee jerk legislation to come from this about about?
Trump is actually educating a lot of people who aren’t as involved or interested as many of us are. He speaks to tens of thousands every week or so and needs to keep it up. The left have officially crossed the line after Orlando, it’s war.
Lemon is a liar, just like all leftists. He’s also a militant homosexual, just like Anderson Cooper. CNN should just call itself the Lying Queer Network.(they can say “queer”, you know)
Cadell is one of the most honest pollsters/pundits I’ve seen on TV. ...He’s great on Harris Faulkner’s show Fox Report on Sunday evenings and often puts down that jerk Doug Shoen, who is a shill for Hillary.
The good news is many have finally woken up, are facing reality and no longer accepting their lies.
MUSLIMS and ISLAM ARE THE PROBLEM, NOT "gun control".
“Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste”
I saw him again later basically arguing with the notion that Barack Obama pulling out of Iraq led to the rise of ISIS.
Lemon is all wee-wee’dup like faggot Obie and Moochey. It’s the LGBT thang, ROFL...
