CNN star Don Lemon wants more outbursts during WH press briefings after April Ryan rudely shouts out

CNN star Don Lemon praised his colleague April Ryan for shouting questions during Tuesday’s White House press briefing, essentially encouraging reporters to interrupt their peers before offering a tortured explanation of patriotism.

Ryan interrupted White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders during Tuesday’s press briefing, repeatedly asking if President Trump is aware that NFL players who protest during the anthem are doing so because of police-involved shootings, as opposed to disrespecting the flag. Sanders attempted to call on a different reporter, but the CNN contributor shouted over everyone in the room until the press secretary acknowledged her.

“The president has made his position crystal clear,” Sanders said as Ryan continued to shout over everyone in the room. “I let you rudely interrupt me, and your colleague; I’m going to ask that you allow me to finish my answer. I would be happy to answer it if you would stop talking long enough to let me do that. The president has made his position crystal clear on this topic. He feels strongly that standing for our national anthem is something that we should do… something that matters to what makes our country special, unique and what sets us apart.”

While several critics took to Twitter to call Ryan’s outburst rude, Lemon applauded Ryan for her behavior during the briefing.

“Amen, April. More of that in the briefing room, April. Following up and getting an answer. I absolutely applaud you,” Lemon said while clapping after the exchange was replayed on "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer."

A bunch of clowns working for CNN, Ryan and Acosta should have their WH press credentials pulled.

Maybe Lemon has his job because he is a black gay who prefers white homosexuals?

CNN veteran anchor Don Lemon, 51, leaves SNL after party holding hands with rumored boyfriend.

Why does Don Lemon only have homosexual relations with white men...? Seems racist!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

They are inspired by the GOP outburst at Obama, “You lie!”, and want to repeat it endlessly. Feckless c**ts, indeed, regardless of sex.

Wasn’t Lemon yanked from CNN’s late night slot in favor of Fredo Cuomo?

April is too immature to be allowed into these press briefings. Tell CNN they have to get another reporter there, or just do without; she doesn’t belong. She can go back to being woke in kindergarten...which is about where her behavior belongs.

They might as well bark like dogs. The Left makes no sense anyway. They only know how to make noise.

Yes, couldn't agree more. Why the Administration doesn't impose discipline on this pack of jackels is beyone me. They couldn't get any nastier than they already are. Also, what happened to the early days when the conservative media was given more prominence and were able to ask questions?

It’s disgusting to even read of a man “dating” another man, and it’s said so casually, as if perversion were the most normal thing in the world. I don’t live in that world, and I don’t understand it, and I believe my mentality to be all the more healthy for not understanding it.

I recall a joke about a minority guy only having sex with white women - punch line was “I don’t blame you - I wouldn’t have sex with a minority either”

Good point, what did happen to that? It’s bad enough that these leftists pretending to be “journalists” are sucking up all the oxygen, by the same token conservative outlets will never get any traction by being shut out.

If I laugh at your reply, I might get called an evil conservative.
