CNN anchor Don Lemon said Monday night that you can't compare a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) who attempted to kill Republican lawmakers last year to a "right-winger" suspected in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and the "right-winger" who allegedly sent bombs to the network and Democrats.
Lemon added during a panel discussion on his primetime program that he doesn't "see Democrats killing people."
The debate began after CNN political commentator Mark Shields argued that assigning blame to anyone but the shooter in the Saturday massacre in Pittsburgh is "outrageous" and "disgusting."
Lemon disagreed, stating the Sanders supporter who wounded four Republicans including House Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) during a congressional baseball practice can't be compared to the suspected synagogue shooter or the Florida man who allegedly who sent pipe bombs to prominent Democrats and CNN because "Bernie Sanders is not the president of the United States."
“This is not equal," Lemon said after some back-and-forth with Shields. "The right-wing group killed a woman in Charlottesville. This guy is a right-winger who killed the people in the synagogue. The right-winger sent bombs to CNN and to Democrats."
"I don’t see Democrats killing people because of political, yeah ---- maybe Democratic operatives who are out there.”
"But they tried to," Shields corrected.
“Okay, they tried to, and that’s not right,” Lemon replied. “But for the most part, what do you see here, Mike? You see these extreme right-wingers and then instead of denouncing them and saying it’s just wrong, you make people think that it’s okay, that you’re making an excuse for, because then you go, ‘But what about the Democrats?’ when is no comparison. There is no equivalence there!”
Shields insisted he was not excusing anything and was only attempting to make a point around rhetoric from both sides contributing to the rising political temperature in the country.
The debate came before outgoing U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley took to Twitter to call out those pointing the finger at President Trump's rhetoric for the synagogue shooting, noting that former President Obama was not blamed after a mass shooting at an African-American church in Charleston, S.C., during his time in office.
“I have struggled w/ what happened in Pitts bc it’s so similar to what happened in Chas. The country was very racially divided @ the time," Haley, a former South Carolina governor, tweeted late Monday. "We didn’t once blame Pres. Obama. We focused solely on the lives lost & their families. Have some respect for these families & stop the blame,” added Haley, who will step down at the end of the year.
It's OUR turn to be rude, offensive and insulting... to wallow in self pity. The Victim CARD is OURS FOR THE TAKING!
Let's DO IT.
If people are offended by our Professional Victim Group antics - all the better. We can add them to the list of people who persecute us.... Hello Morning Joe - we're talking to you folks at MSNBC...
“The right-wing group killed a woman in Charlottesville.”
Heart attacks are a right-wing group. That really is news.
This is the CNN bobblehead that advanced a black hole theory to explain a lost aircraft.
There is a big difference - leaders on the left actively call for violence against Trump supporters.
gaigin - for MSNBC and CNN to ponder:
Conservatives banned from Twitter.
Conservatives shadow-banned from Facebook.
NYC Central Park features Shakespeare play in which a Trump lookalike is murdered
A violent anti-Trump hater steals a young kid’s MAGA hat, throws a soda in his face
GOP lawmakers screamed at in elevators

Christians harassed and sued by cake people
Home addresses of GOP’ers doxxed by Capitol Hill staffers
San Jose Convention goers herded into a large ambush, chased down, surrounded & egged, cars dented as police look on complacently

Good list, ping for later use
Democrats (among others) kill people all the time - just consider the millions of murders that take place in the womb, of a child, already a person, who dies as result of an abortion.
Don Lemon: ‘Right-winger’ responsible for synagogue shooting; ‘I don’t see Democrats killing people’

What about the people gunned down in the Las Vegas hotel? I mean...that one was pretty recent.
Don Lemon: Born dumb; die dumb. Never learning a damn thing.
Also, every rape and murder committed by an illegal alien protected by the left by sanctuary cities or other means is a direct cause by the left, fully sanctioned and approved by them.
Has he heard of the continued carnage in Chicago? Dem rats killing dem rats all day and night, twice as much on weekends. But the enemedia acts like it doesn’t happen.
Excellent idea whose time has come. Finally.
Conservatives who play nice with others and get along well on the playground end up as former office holders and current shyly conforming guests on TV panels acting like Kasich and the late McCain. Watch for Kasich as an ex Gov someday.
Better to be a tough winner who says things TV panels don’t want to hear.
Ever heard of James Earl Ray?
When you place a camera in hotel California you get CNN.
Go to Chicago after dark. In a week you’ll see Democrats kill a lot more than this.
Any attorneys on here know if we can start a class action lawsuit against media people who call trump supporters killers, racists and anti- semetic? We’re not politicians. The fact that we’ve had to be afraid to put a trump sign up or a sticker on our car because of signals from the media and politicians that violence against us is OK.
When are these people going to pay for their lies and their slander against us?
bkmk

Donny boy obviously hasn’t been reading the news on the Trump hating shooter.
