CNN host Don Lemon has been defending the Black Lives Matter movement on his show in recent weeks, claiming that they are simply being painted as “extreme,” just like Martin Luther King Jr apparently was. Tucker Carlson decided to take Lemon down a peg or two on his show on Wednesday night.
“Now if you’re running a channel like CNN, you want dumb people on TV because they are compliant, they will say what they’re told, they will tell the audience what the moment demands, they will never stray from the script, and that’s exactly what Mr. Lemon is doing,” Carlson said. He then played a clip...
Lemon’s 2013 show, where he critiqued problems in the black communities:
Don Lemon: "More than 72 percent of children in the African-American community are born out of wedlock, that means absent fathers. And the studies show that a lack of a male role model is an express train right to prison, and the cycle continues. So please, black folks, as I said, if this doesn’t apply to you, I’m not talking to you.
"Pay attention to and think about what has been presented in recent history as acceptable behavior. Pay close attention to the hip-hop and rap culture that many of you embrace, a culture that glorifies everything I just mentioned. Thug and reprehensible behavior, a culture that is making a lot of people rich, just not you and it’s not going to."
As alleged in his complaint, Hice, 38, told The Post, “About 5 or 10 minutes later, Don gets up, walks around the bar, comes up right up to me and puts his hands down his board shorts. He rubs himself aggressively, his ***** and whatever else down there.”
Lemon then “shoved his index and middle fingers in Plaintiff’s mustache and under Plaintiff’s nose,’’ according to Hice’s suit, which was filed over the weekend.
“And he goes, ‘Do you like ***y or ***k?’ And he kept saying, ‘P or D? P or D?’ He said it three or four times. I’m like, ‘Whoa man, what the ***?’ ” Hice claimed."
I guess Don Lemon will said as an excuse then he was drunk when he did these speeches?
