Don Lemon Cries — Trump Traffics In Racism And Is Fueled By Bullying

As Lemon cycled through the outrage Trump’s attacks caused over the weekend, he reminded viewers of the president’s attacks on “low IQ” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) along with his birther-ism against former President Barack Obama. The CNN host noted that Trump calls anthem-kneelers protesting racial injustice “sons of bitches,” yet he referred to the white supremacists of Charlottesville as “very fine people.”

“Let me not mince words here: This president traffics in racism and is fueled by bullying,” Lemon said. “He divides by race and tries to conquer decency by smearing and besmirching the truth and the people who fight to uphold it.”

Lemon concluded by lamenting that Trump’s conduct and attacks on James reflect a dark underbelly of American society where racial minorities get antagonized by their fellow citizens while the president seems to encourage such behavior.

“Will the country stand up for them? We, the decent and truly patriotic people who really love America and believe in its greatness have to, because clearly Donald Trump won’t.”
