CNN host Don Lemon shamed all 74 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump in this past election, not only lumping them all in with Capitol rioters, but also with Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.
While sending off his own show to Lemon’s, Chris Cuomo asked for his fellow host’s reaction to, “Now what you hear is, ‘Well, you can’t say that everybody who voted for Trump is like the people who went into the Capitol.'”
“You need to think about the side you’re on,” Lemon responded. “Principled people — conservative or liberal — never on the Klan side. Principled people — conservative or liberal — never on the Nazi side. Principled people who are conservative or liberal never on the side that treats their fellow Americans as less-than.”
“That says that your fellow Americans should not exist,” he added. “That says your fellow Americans should be in a concentration camp or that sides with slavery or sides with any sort of bigotry.”
“Right,” Cuomo said. “And if they say, ‘I don’t agree with those people, I just like Trump’s policies—'”
“Well, then get out of the crowd with them,” Lemon fired back. “Get out of the crowd with them.”

That’s when the two engaged in a deranged role-play, with Cuomo taking on the role of Trump supporter.
“I wasn’t in the crowd; I just voted for Trump,” Cuomo said.
“You’re in the crowd who voted for Trump,” Lemon replied. “If you voted for Trump, you voted for the person who the Klan supported. You voted for the person who Nazis support. You voted for the person who the alt-right supports. That’s the crowd that you are in.”
“You voted for a person who incited a crowd to go into the Capitol and potentially take the lives of lawmakers, took the lives of police officers, took the … innocent lives of the people who were at the Capitol that day,” he continued.
“You voted on that side,” he added.

Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro said it best when he branded this entire exchange as “vile.”
He later added, “It’s this deliberate attempt to lump together anyone who voted for Trump and the Capitol rioters that undermines the possibility of unity. It also happens to be false and indecent.”

Ha Don lemon the KKK was started by you demos
I CANNOT be "shamed" by liars..bigots..drunks ..perverts... Sticks & Stones baby
Lemon is a deranged pole smoker, AND a mulatto carnival sideshow freak.
I'm for the KLAN before I'd be for DemonRATS..
Aw, poor Lemon Head. He's confused. It's the Democrats ( Communist), that embraced the KKK and white supremacist. You would think Lemon Head would know about this. He thinks he knows everything anyway.
That's why I'd join the Klan before I'd join the DemocRATS..
Don Lemon doesn't have the intellect of a 3rd grader. If he knew anything about history he would know that the DNC created the KKK. He would know that Democrats thought Hitler, Stalen, Mussolini and later Mao were great leaders.
Tweedle dee and tweedle effing dum.
And now to address Don Lemon, the pudgy, balding, bigoted liar and all-around dummy.
Since when does a candidate for any office get to decide who endorses him/her? That’s freedom of speech, Donnie. I know, a foreign concept at CNN. Now, say I am one of the mere 5,000 KKK members in the entire US (their ‘parades’ are usually 6 people walking down the street with 100 police officers, and a very disinterested public). However, as a fictional KKK member, I endorse Don Lemon for President. What are you going to do about it? Sure, you can deny, but it’s so piddling and very few if any people will believe you-the whole smoke and fire thing. You could write a letter or an email to me-I’d just ignore it. I am free to endorse anyone. You can’t sue me for slander of libel because I’m not attacking you.
So much for your remarks on Trump supporters. BTW, 75 million of us voted for Trump and at least another 75 million support him but didn’t vote. A little bit more than 50% of the country is conservative. America tilts slightly right and always has.
This clown can't shame anyone. And besides, he's not bright. The KKK was invented by the Democrats back in 1865. So, not only is he stupid, he's clueless about history. Surprises he doesn't need someone to prop him up every morning.
