Don Lemon: Trump ‘Is Clearly Trying to Ignite a Civil War in This Country,’May Have Dementia'
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 08/23/17 | David Rutz

Posted on 08/23/2017 5:40:02 AM PDT by Enlightened1

CNN host Don Lemon said President Donald Trump is "clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country" after his speech to supporters in Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday night, also pondering whether the president had dementia.

"He has given oxygen to racists," Lemon said. "He hasn't really said anything [to] denounce the alt-right … He is clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country. He has not tamped down race."

In what CNN described in its chyron as an "angry, divisive speech," Trump lit into the media and also defended his criticized response to the white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, omitting in his remarks to the crowd that he once said "both sides" carried blame for violence there.

Lemon said if Trump worked in his newsroom and said those things, he would be fired. Lemon then read out a tweet by CNN commentator Ana Navarro that the only "defensible explanation" for Trump's behavior would be early-onset dementia.

If you listen to people like Lemon- Juan Williams, for example...You’ll hear them say how this or that “doesn’t make any sense” and that they “don’t understand”, etc. There’s a reason for that and it’s very simple!

I saw the speech first hand last night. Lemon is right, an employee at CNN would be fired if they talked like the President did. Truth will not be tolerated at that outfit!

I enjoyed yelling "CNN sucks" with the rest of the crowd by the way. Somehow I don't think that is going to be mentioned.

On top of that, since he is a “preferred minority” (on two fronts) there is no reason he has his position through merit.

I’m surprised his wiki bio hasn’t been scrubbed; it refers to sexual abuse during his childhood, which I’m convinced is the leading cause of homosexuality. They aren’t “born that way”, but twisted into it...

Projection has become their main tool. And Lemon is an expert.

Lemon is falling back on something the Soviets pioneered a century ago: If you didn’t love everything about the workers’ paradise they created, you must be insane. It was a great way to silence dissenters, and permanently remove those that persisted. We’ve seen this playbook before - those of us that bother to read/study these things.

Another application of “Rules for Radicals” by the Democrats - “Accuse your opponent of what you are trying to do.”

Trump says everyone must love one another. Is accused of trying to start a Civil War.

Uh... huh.

That loud “CNN SUCKS!!!!” chant couldn’t have anything to do with such blatant propaganda, could it? Nah.

I hope the FCC finds some way to pull the license of these anti-American LIARS, so Don Lemon could undertake his next career - cleaning toilets somewhere.

At least Pres. Trump has the good sense not to get on TV drunk as a skunk, as you did, dummy.

I wouldn’t doubt it one bit. However, it almost gives him too much credit for having some kind of credible intellect.

No, Trump opposes racists. Black Supremacist Don Lemon IS a racist.

The Left will start the next CW and blame the Right for starting it, or making them start it. CNN is just laying out the narrative to be referenced after the fact.

Ana Navarro, Affirmative Action Latina, washed out at Fox and had to take her chubbiness to the Cesspool News Network. She’s still bitter that JEB! was an even bigger failure than she is.

Trump Derangement Syndrome achieves two key things:

- shows the left for who they really are and loses more seats for them in 2018 and 2020.

- allows President Trump to take care of business - example - killing ISIS.

The only dementia is that of the snowflake, can't handle the ass-beating they got last November Left. But RUSSIA!!!

The Civil War is being created by the Leftist media and Georgie "Hitler Youth" Soros.

No, the left, the liberals and the Democrats have already started the war, Trump is trying to determine which side is going to win. Good or evil?
