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."

Government Bean Counter wants more press passes pulled...
...and a bloody idiot to lie about something so easily checked.
They keep her around for a comedy and stupidity spot.
Just like the party it shills for, CNN doesn’t have a deep bench, rather a collection of dunce chairs.
Mud Daubers always gravitate toward melodrama.
Why is this flaming homo so upset..he can fudge pack all day and all night, that “Right” hasn’t been taken away so why so angry Donny boy..did your “Boyfriend” cheat on you with another douche bag
Our mental and physical health is better than those living in what used to be the dark way.
Absolutely...Big time.
Ghetto thinking.
Sarah Sanders should just close out the briefing and walk out until they behave.
I would love to see a press secretary have a reporter escorted out of the room.
Don “rump ranger” Lemon should STFU.
He’s a miserable person.
That behavior at one time wasn’t tolerated in kindergarten but now I’m not too sure.
There should be tranquilizer dart snipers set up to balance it out.
So would I!
It’d only happen once or twice and the others would get the message.
Much more of this shite and Sarah will change the rules and Trump will back her up. The bratty kids are going to end up sitting in the corner getting their news via Twitter.
I understand one gets a little bitchy when they drunkenly get their taint pierced on New year’s eve.
