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.

How long before we can declare news readers like this enemy combatants and ship them off to GITMO?

My father in law is currently suffering with Frontal Temporal Dementia right now, and I find it extraordinarily insulting and coldly callous that Mr. Lemon would stoop to this level to insult President Trump in this way. I hope and pray Mr. Lemon comes to my front door real soon and says that to my face. But when he does (as my father in law would say) “he better bring along his catcher’s mitt and hold it out behind his ass so he can catch his teeth after I introduce his sorry pie hole to my fist!!” By the way, that is not a threat, it is an invitation and a promise!! Oh, and by the way Mr. Lemon, have a nice day!!

“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.”

That is a very low bar for MSNBC and CNN, one simply has to say something conservative, or otherwise out of step with orthodoxy.
