CNN's Don Lemon attempted to clarify his remarks about "blowing up the entire system" as it pertains to the Electoral College, with the host saying Tuesday night he was taken out of context.
"I woke up and I saw all of these headlines, 'Don Lemon is calling for the abolishing of the Electoral College!' But I was responding to you when you said we need people with integrity!" Lemon exclaimed during a hand-off with host Chris Cuomo. "I was responding to you when you said we want people with integrity in office and I said, 'Well, then we've got to blow up the whole system, right?' And I said here's what Democrats can do and that's the danger: they can stack the court.
"But all of a sudden, I am calling for the abolishing of the Electoral College," Lemon continued. "And that I'm a Democrat, because I said 'we.' I mean the American people!"
"Run and tell this: I do think that we need to look at the Electoral College because I think it disenfranchises voters, both Democrats and Republicans," Lemon later added. "If you're in a blue state and all of the electoral votes go to the Democratic person, then the Republicans' votes aren't counted, the people who voted for the Republican candidate."
"So I do think it should be looked at because I think it does disenfranchise certain people," he concluded. "Should it be abolished? It's not for me to say. I'm saying this is what Democrats are saying; stack the courts, get rid of the Electoral College. But there is no nuance and no context anymore, so who cares."

I love how he says there is no nuance and no context anymore. Interesting that he says that because the fault is squarely on the media!!!!!
Yes, they are just one of several "house organs" of the left.
Most of the old media are "house organs" of the left.

We can all catch “Don li-MONE” again at Chris Plante’s podcast.
It will for sure if Biden wins. Already the trump hate fest only gets them a little more then a million viewers on most nights. I doubt those same people will enjoy watching the network slobbering all over Biden night after night. If trump wins, the hate fest will continue for another 4 years.
With a mouth full of c#7k, it is "hard" for this queer to say anything.
If I had an opportunity...OK, it's not for me to say, because I am not protected like that faig bastard.
Of course -— he wants total mob and city dwellers to call the shots — the so called CAPITOL residents so famous in the Mockingbird series — they don’t care about the nation — just themselves... get rid it of he says, and why - becuase Democrats / The Left / Bernie / AOC/ and the rest of the progressive mob cannot WIN elections fair and square - they CHEAT - they LIE - they MISREPRESENT — it’s about fraud for control ... the same as been going for a long time - and they have lost control of the narrative due to the Internet and mobile information they can’t stop...
The LEFT is so unhinged and demented — no wonder Biden is leading their pack (unbeknownst to him)
Lemon seemed to be unaware that a constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college would have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. Even if the Democrats give statehood to DC, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, the Northern Marianas, Guam, American Samoa, and Wake Island, they would still fall short. Maybe make each of the Virgin Islands a separate state.
It won't even be close.
He is a lying batsard for sure.
As amply demonstrated by the Left, they do not care a fig what the Constitution says.
Once they regain control of the SCOTUS, they can simply interpret a state compact, requiring states to force their electors to vote for the person who wins the most votes, to be Constitutional.
Constitutional checks and balances mean nothing to them.
CNN should move its HQ to Pyongyang so it can do what it does best—hateful anti_American propaganda.
He wasn’t focussed since Anderson was under the desk at the time.
Any one have current ratings for stations? Where does CNN fall
on the graph?
“If you’re in a blue state and all of the electoral votes go...”
Anyone seriously think that California, whose voting laws mean that in many cases Republicans cannot even appear on the ballot is going deprive the dem candidate of all its Electoral votes?
The soft spoken negro is without words.
CNN are experts at taking things out of context, rewording and distorting other people’s meaning. It’s not a fault of logic and rhetoric for them. It’s a tactic.
Lemon is a pathological liar, and a stupid one at that. He also has no concept or real knowledge of how our government works or knowledge of the Constitution.
