Don lemon thinks White people who are uncomfortable with the shifting of demographics are automatically racist?
That shows you how ignorant and out-of-touch this lemon is.
Incredible new low for CNN's leading leman.

Fox News contributor Alveda King spoke out Monday, Martin Luther King Day, in defense of Donald Trump and insisted the president was not a racist.

King, a niece of the famous day’s namesake and a Fox News contributor, made her defense during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”

“The president is helping the African American community and I don’t believe President Donald John Trump is a racist,” said King.

“Look at everything: The economy is up, jobs are up in the black community. There’s great promise to get a lot of people who have been unfairly incarcerated out so there’s so many economic opportunities, opportunities for babies in the womb,” she said. “The president is working for America period as he’s draining the swamp.”

That is exactly what they fear most.

That’s not Marty or Dexter, and to my knowledge, King has two sons.

That guy isn’t one of them.

2. The video clearly says nephew.

3. Im not sure what the OP or the people propping him up here mean when they say "backfired".

You basically have a black conservative not wanting to attack one of his own, so he deflected while having already said Trump's comments where insensitive and ignorant(look at the adjoining videos of him)

You didn't find his comments thoughtful?

Not really the point.

the OP and other conservatives keep trying to pass off MLK's Niece, Nephew and conservative cousin as the stewarts of his legacy instead of his wife and children. Thats just odd to me.

OP...try listening to your own link before posting. By the way this is what Martin Luther King III actually said...In a Martin Luther King Day address Monday, the civil rights leader's eldest son likened President Donald Trump to "staunch racist" former presidential candidate George Wallace and said supporters need to work on Trump's "heart."

"We got to find a way to work on this man's heart," Martin Luther King III said, referring to Trump while speaking in Washington to honor his father.

Your post was Dr. King's nephew and if you listened to him he called Trump ignorant. Not exactly a compliment.

Well even if (the nephew) is running around making money off the MLK name, it was obvious why CNN had him there. Don Lemonhead was obviously trying to get him to go along with Don and CNNs way of thinking about Trump being a racist. When Don saw that he wasn't agreeing, Don did what Don does and started talking over him. Then Don went further and accused him of making money from the MLK name. In recent years CNN has turned to tabloid type news reporting, and it works. This kind of headline grabbing, hate generating news resonates with their viewership.

Hey Don, Mexican is a nationality not a race.

Awww! The fluffy little liberal snowflake is having a meltdown because he could not get him to say the president is a racists. He needs to grab his Barbie and go to his safe place.
