Watch as CNN host Don Lemon claims the President Trump has done the most harm of anyone , when it comes to race relations. Lemon also repeated the lie that the President ordered Lafayette square cleared to stage a photo-op.
Via CNN:
Don Lemon is an idiot.
No one has done more to damage race relations in this country that the first black President and his media allies.
They see everything through the prism of race, and have done more to split Americans apart than any other people or group.
Partial transcript:
LEMON: “I do see a sea change and I see a president who is, quite frankly, at the very least tone deaf.
When you see all the people around him, the people he respects the most, the generals, the military folks, even people who are in his inner circle disagreeing with him on how he handled protesters in Washington when he wanted that photo-op by gassing them and moving them off the streets, and for really not meeting the moment right now.
So I think that right now, the President is probably the person who is doing the most harm when it comes to race relations, police relations in this country right now, because he is simply behind the times.
Not only is he not in 2020, he’s not even in 1968.”
BERMAN: “But sea changes, though, Don, seem to be happening despite him or in opposition to him.
When you have senators, Republican senators saying, ‘No, no, we really do think the names of army bases should be changed from honoring Confederate generals,’ when you have Kevin MccCarthy, the leading Republican in the House saying, ‘You know what, I do think we should ban chokeholds,’ these changes are happening no matter what the President says.”
LEMON: “Well, they are. They’re sensible changes. I mean, it’s not — it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a black member or a Latino member, African-American, doesn’t want to enter a base that has a name of a traitor on it or someone who didn’t think that they should be a full person, that they were three-fifths of a person.
So I think that is only common sense, any of these things.
So I think the President, what he’s doing is appealing to a very small group in his base. I shouldn’t say a very small group, they’re quite — you know, it’s a large number, but it’s minority of Americans in his base and he’s not expanding his base by that.
I don’t believe that most Americans see eye to eye with the President when it comes to these things.
And when you actually look at them objectively, no one wants the name of a traitor or someone who lost the war or actually fought against America in the civil war on a military base or on a school or on a park or anything. It makes complete sense.
I think that the GOP, although they have been silent for most of his presidency, I think they’re actually waking up now because they realize that public sentiment and actually history is not really on his side.”
