CNNs 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 Clintons 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 medias not trying to make this about guns. Its not, its 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 theyre 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 its true when it is not. That is who is making this a partisan thing, bringing it up, its Donald Trump, its not the media.
McEnany defended Trumps position on guns and still demanded to know why there werent 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 dont exist.

The most dangerous weapon the Islamist have is the Obama administration.
Instead of asking why people on the terrorist watch list can buy a gun, the most troubling question is how was this terrorist not on a watch list.
If this terrorist didn’t set off every alarm DHC has, we are in worse trouble than anyone imagines.
ALMOST fewer than 200 days remaining with an anti-Free-America traitor at the helm. Can America survive?
“We don’t want your guns. We love the 2nd amendment.”
(Give us your guns. You don’t need evil black guns.)
Caddell is a patriot. He loves America, the Constitution and the truth and he is quite familiar with all three. I wish they would let him finish his thoughts on those shows.
That is great.
If he can he will go down as one of the five greatest presidents ever.
When the Mongols were beating them to a pulp.
They learned manners very fast.
Because the sad truth, to libs, is that they have ZERO evidence the Trump is a “homophobe”. Surely Trump worked with some gays during his stint with The Apprentice, with the nature of show biz being what it is. None of them ever bad-mouthed him.
