MELTDOWN: Lemon Goes on Insane Rant Defending Riots as ‘Mechanism’ for Change
Newsbusters ^ | May 31, 2020 | Curtis Houck

Posted on 05/31/2020 6:57:22 AM PDT by kevcol

CNN Tonight host Don Lemon suffered a meltdown for the ages Saturday night, spending almost 11 minutes unloading his disdain for America in 2020 and, except for a mealy-mouthed condemnation, giving support for the rioting and other criminal acts supposedly done to mourn the Monday death of Minneapolis African-American man George Floyd.

Lemon’s defense? Apparently, this will all serve as a “mechanism for a restructure of our country or for some sort of change,” ostensibly in our criminal justice and political system seeing as how so many feel as though they “have nothing to lose.”

And for those upset with the rioting and people losing their livelihoods? Well, Lemon mocked them because, according to him, this kind of destruction led to America’s founding with the Boston Tea Party.

NOT the Boston Tea Party, Lemon-AIDS. Those people hurt nothing except the tea. You morons are ruining your own neighborhoods.

Eye protection people eye protection. Does OSHA have anything to say on rioters and use of PPE? Say dawn, you should invite some of your butties over for a party and you could console them.

The protesters at the Boston Tea Party destroyed the tea. But they were not about wanton destruction and looting. They came back and replaced the padlocks that they had broken on the ship.

This is becoming a Democrat talking point. Exact same language used by Keith Ellison in Minnesota.

The very fact that CNN’s Democrat, Don Lemon is raving in positive fashion about the riots and destruction of minority businesses and all the property ruins in city centers is proof enough for me that the Democrat Party, Obama, Pelosi and Soros are 100% behind these thugs on the attack against the USA!!!

Like I have stated many times...”Desperate people do desperate things to innocent people’ IMHO...the time has now come to totally destroy the entire “Hate America” Democrat Party...politically forever.

This coming Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020, there are a good number pf 2020 POTUS Primary Elections. No American should cast one vote for Democrat “weak sister” “traitor/Turncoat, Joe “The (retard) Biden. Case closed!!!

I thought he was drunk. For about a half hour he was ranting how “angry”he is that rich people and Hollywood aren’t doing anything to “help”.

These people live in a dangerous fantasy world that America is a KKK Nazi operation. Rather than being helped they need to be told to “F off”.

This is after 70 years of America doing everything imaginable to “help”.

The riots are a further attempt to ruin the economy so they can take over.

Heh, they would have had no compunction about using deadly force to stop it, if we did this.

I read a Facebook page from my old neighborhood which is now 100% black.

One of the ongoing debates is with people saying they need to burn down the cities because they are “black populated but not black owned”.

The level of racism on that site in normal times is frightening. Lots of depictions of violence, anti Americanism, and a very common theme is “they stole everything from us”. A lot of display of very poor education.

These folks minds are absolutely poisoned with racism.

The only ones who support the rioters are already left-leaners. People in the suburbs who see the destruction and the apologists in the Dem party are not going to vote to have the destruction come to their neighborhoods.

Exact same language used by Communists for over a century. Peoples greed and lusts used to bait them into slavery.

Has destroyed dozens of free countries. Seems to be an endless stream of fools that smoked dope in history class.

They forget that most slaves in this age are not white.
