CNN’s Don Lemon Panics That Fox News, Trump Will Pounce on Jussie Smollett Story

CNN’s Don Lemon is fretting that conservative-leaning media outlets and the President of the United States will pounce on news that the Jussie Smollett hate crime was likely a hoax.

The statement came in response to news that Smollett himself had been charged with felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report.

From the onset of the story, readers of The Political Insider have been keenly aware of the oddities and discrepancies in Smollett’s story.

And they are well aware that a hate crime hoax is devastating to the community, leaving everyone viewing others of a different race with a wary eye. It could have resulted in the arrest of innocent people. And it makes things exponentially harder for actual victims of actual hate crimes.

But that’s not the real problem according to Lemon. The true tragedy in his world is that Fox News and President Trump will be able to score some political points over the fake news story.

“Sean Hannity is going to eat Jussie Smollett’s lunch every single second,” Lemon panicked. “Tucker Carlson is going to eat Jussie Smollett’s lunch every single second. The President of the United States is going to eat his lunch.”

You know what, Don? CNN, if they were a real source of journalistic integrity, would have Smollett’s lunch too.

Everyone should be able to unite behind the fact that reporting fake hate crimes and trying to demonize political opponents, as the actor almost assuredly did, is a reprehensible thing to do. As reprehensible as if the crime had actually been committed.

Smollett seemingly committed his own hate crime here, plain and simple.

Lemon’s Response Gets Worse

As if worrying that a news network far superior to your own might eat Smollett’s lunch because they didn’t fall for the hoax wasn’t enough, Lemon went on to suggest the ‘Empire’ actor’s problems were less about lying to the American people, and more because he didn’t have good public relations advice backing him up.

It’s never the perpetrator’s fault. No responsibility for one’s own actions in the eyes of the mainstream media.

Smollett is 100 percent responsible for everything that comes his way – whether it be legally, criminally, career-wise, or in the court of public opinion.

Lemon’s Own Hoax Stories

Perhaps the problem here is that Lemon can relate to Smollett. He does, after all, have a career in which he likes to perpetuate fake news stories.

Lemon was a huge player in allowing porn lawyer Michael Avenatti get all kinds of screen time on CNN to spread his client, Stormy Daniels, allegations. Daniels would eventually be ordered to pay President Trump’s legal fees after her lawsuit was dismissed.

CNN and Lemon allowed Avenatti to push a ridiculously and easily dismissed allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on their airwaves.

Lemon would later perpetuate another hoax claiming that “white men” are the biggest terror threat in America.

Perhaps Lemon’s not so worried about the President eating Smollett’s lunch as he is about having his handed to him once again. Trump once correctly state that the anchor is “the dumbest man on television.”

These latest comments solidify that title.

  7. If a white dog crapped in a black person’s yard, Don Lemon would report that as racism and demand justice. This man is not a journalist. He is not a reporter. He is simply an instigator of hate!. Hate towards anyone not of his color. He truly hates our President and everything he stands for. He continues to be allowed to spew hate on National TV and the network that employs him condones it. It is time to start removing people like him off of prime time TV and replacing them with real reporters and journalists who actually get the facts and report the facts leaving the viewers to decide the outcome. Not tell us what to believe, Sorry for the long rant, but I am tired of this continues hatred towards our country and our President.

  8. Lemon is a sick, twisted sister! Hes a disgrace to all in his profession, even at CNN. To judge someone on their skin color and which side of the political spectrum instead of right versus wrong is as bad as it gets. But thats where we are now days.

  11. Sorry, but I have to write this. In America, the First Amendment is for everyone and should be used with all the respect and candor that it deserves. I would rather promote conversations with those people with whom I disagree, find common ground and understanding, even if a complete agreement can’t be reached.

    Yeah, Don Lemon is right, it’s President Trump’s fault that Jussie Smollett wasn’t being paid enough on his hit TV program, and President Trump left him no choice but to do what he did, sending a letter of threat, along with a white powder terrorist attack included with it, using the federal mail system. But when that wasn’t enough to get Jussie Smollett his raise, he choreographed and practiced a fake racist hate crime, paying a couple of friends out of pocket to assist him in the fraud, then reported it as a crime to the Chicago Police Department.

    Shame on you President Trump!

    Also I guess we need to ask Don Lemon, who apparently knows everything, if it was also President Trump’s fault for the other crimes committed by Jussie Smollett, that is on his record and which are very similar to these latest crimes that he committed?

    You’d have to be the biggest bigot, biased, and prejudice racist, to come up with a scenario like this, a black man attacking a white President, that has nothing to do with these Jussie Smollett’s crimes, but won a Presidential election by an “Electoral College” landslide, which Don Lemon cried over when the results of the election were finally made official.

    That’s right, Don Lemon is a “racist”, not defined by just these latest false charges against President Trump, but by also in the recent past claiming that white men are the biggest terrorist threats in the USA today. Yet there were no white men involved in all of Jussie Smollett’s crimes, but there was terrorism involved, which he should be charged with, unless they give him more black privilege, where they ignore the terrorist crime and give him impunity over it. This is something that Don Lemon will be attempting to make happen, because all black men stick together, and try to blame white men for their own crimes.

  17. Lemon must be heart broken that another of the left’s little ploys to stir up racial unrest fell through. Between the radical liberals like Lemon, Maxine Waters, Booker, et al trying to stir up trouble on the left, and others trying to stir it up on the right, thank God there are enough intelligent people in this nation that don’t buy into the hatred and discord!

  21. Lemon is typical of many millennials; they refuse to accept responsibility for their actions and refuse to pay their dues in order to advance. And for Lemon, the worst isn’t Smollet being ridiculed in the court of public opinion but having people with real assaults being doubted because of his Peter and the Wolf episode.

Looks like the majority support OUR PRESIDENT and the left is scared to death because we do. They are desperate – that’s why it’s not Smollet’s fault.
