Hershel Walker. The former NFL great and the former Heisman trophy winner.

A more appropriate question might be: Don who?

I never intimated that. To believe that political leanings can somehow define how good athletes or anyone in any profession, can be is crazy talk.


What I was addressing was the fact that Walkers storied and magnificent career was being minimized for the same reason.


People are so obsessed with their political views that they have lost all perspective on every other aspect of life. It must be sad to fixate on politics, hating Trump or Pelossi or ?, 24/7. Not much of a life.

The only time I hear about Lemon is when he opens his mouth and garbage comes out. I guess he should actually be more well known, considering his career is built on trash.

Went to bed appalled over @donlemon despicable behavior laughing at @TaraSetmayer and @Bakari_Sellers awful remarks about Kanye West’s visit with @realDonaldTrump!! Woke up wondering why @CNN doesn’t take all three off the air?#SHAMEFUL#CNNhttps://t.co/MwGWIfh8so

Hershey has too much brain damage from his football days to be taken seriously.

sounds like you are thinking of John McCain(RIP), he is the one that had too much brain damage later in life to be able to think clearly.

Lemon may not actually be a racist. He may simply be a fool that says racist things.

I don't think he's a racist, but he's certainly an idiot.

As long as that applies equally to others, regardless of their skin color or their political preferences. But if Lemon gets a pass because he is a black Democrat, and others do not because they are white Republicans, then the standard that you are promoting and practicing is racism, plain and simple.

Saw some clip of Don Lemon chastising someone and saying that all of these people screaming and shouting at people while in restaurants aren't a mob, just simply protesters. I thought to myself what a complete disingenuous fool he is. Does he really think this crap, if so the guy is a real piece of work.

Someone in the clip said to him that if it were the Tea party people shouting down some Democrats while in restaurants it most certainly would be called a mob.

Should he be fired for the Kayne bit, I don't know, not a fan of people being fired but maybe he should be, I don't know.
