Saturday on CNN, anchor Don Lemon said called out Hollywood leaders and stars who were afraid to hurt their brand by speaking up amid the nationwide protests after the death of George Floyd.
Lemon said, “But what about the leadership in other places? What about Hollywood? Strangely quiet. I see them on Twitter, ‘Oh, I’m loving what Don Lemon’s doing,’ I’m loving what this person’s doing. But they’ve got to do more than that. Especially black celebrities and black leaders and while celebrities and rich Hollywood and rich folks and wealthy people. Why aren’t they helping these young people? These young people are out there standing on a platform at the edge of an abyss by themselves. And what they’re doing. Yes, I’m calling you out. You can be mad at me all you want. You’re sitting there watching TV, and you’re bitching about it. And you’re saying ‘Oh, my gosh, I can’t believe I’m watching this. What is going on?’ Stop texting me and asking me, ‘Oh, my gosh, Don, what is happening to our country?’ Stop tweeting me and telling me, ‘I’m loving what you’re doing.’ Get on television or do something and help these young people instead of sitting in your mansions and doing nothing and have some moral courage and stop worrying about your reputation and your brand.”

CNN is ATT
Yes shame shame shame on you holly weirdos...y’all should have hopped in the Bentley, gone down to Rodeo Drive and started smashing, looting, and burning in the name of G Floyd...
Yo D man. Lighten up.
They’re actors, not real people.
Yeah. If the fire department does come to put out the flames of your burning mansions they can put their hoses in your big built in pools to put out the fires.
What are you doing Lemon? Feel so behind them? Then get out there and march in stride with the looters and brick throwers.
I think we all are supportive of honest peaceful protest but that is not whats going on for the most part. People recognize this and most don’t want to be associated with the violence.
Hey Don, we saw CNN headquarters get attacked yesterday. Were you expecting Hollywood actors to come and rescue you? The scene of Sean Penn baling water from his own boat comes to mind.
What a joke. There’s no leadership in Hollywood, just self-entitled, undereducated actors. I certainly don’t follow them.
Pffffttttt! What was mr poofter doing besides inciting more violence?
They should burn down their mansions to show solidarity with the burned-out black-owned businesses.
There's one in every crowd that does nothing himself but endlessly complains and criticizes the one who actually steps in - and he thinks that's providing a valuable service!
I’m with Lemon for once. I wanted to see Babs come out and speak to the crowd. Tell them she was down with the struggle. I’m sure it would gone over big.
All this rioting and burning and destroying.. + be honest znd sensible here... this is NOT about George Floyd... no.. its about turning against our country.. against our President..
And this kind of terrorism was given a greenlight by barry.
This is not lawful assemnly.. its terrorism. And why is it tolrra7ated
Hahahaha. yes! Invite antifa in these raging race baiting celeb properties...
Is the left trying to push them out to house up in China?
Simple export of business and property to China... retaliation for the trade war
Both cops and antifa with their made in China TShirts will be exonerated after this, not the expropriated tax payers....
Yep, Hollywood denizens should rip off their masks, leave the safety of their mansions and join the thugs burning our cities. Looting is an extra ... fun fun fun...
With any luck Antifa will move into the Hollywood mansions and loot those places. It's safe - the police won't stop them from looting Hollywood mansions because the police are afraid of being called racists.
So go for it Hollywood, leave those mansions and let 'em burn...
Yeah Don Lemmons,don’t worry,the riots are going to THEM!
I agree, 100%, with Don LeMon, on this!!
In fact....I think Don LeMon’s great idea should go a step further.....we need a new organization, for this brainchild....I say we call it....
Community Reinvestment Act from the Privileged Pretenders, or, CRAPP
Each Hollyweirdo can donate either one room, or up to the entire mansion, of their Hollywood homes to these Antifa and rioting thugs.....all expenses PAID...complements of these irrelevant dopes.
They all need to clamor to support this great cause.
For once, these useless pretenders can actually put their riches to good use, and support a worthwhile cause.
Stop the violence! Remove the head of the snake; arrest Bertha Lewis (AKA Berthe Lewis) and Barack Obama!
First of all Leadership and Hollywood do not belong in the same sentence. Second, this guy must be a classic narcissist. He states that people are asking him for guidance and leadership. “We love what you do Don”....really.
