Trump and first lady Melania Trump took their place in the front row at President George H. W. Bush's funeral at National Cathedral yesterday morning, right next to the Obamas. It was a bit awkward considering the past war of words between the two couples. Trump has accused Obama of authoring some of the worst deals the U.S. has ever signed and is currently upending his predecessor's legacy, while Obama has sounded off on Trump's policies. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama wrote some unflattering things about 45 in her new book, including how she'll never forgive him for his role in the "birther" controversy about her husband.
But, the two couples didn't let that context prevent them from being cordial to each other. The Obamas shook the Trumps' hands and Michelle Obama told the president, "good morning."
To CNN's Don Lemon, that was more than he would have done. If he was Obama, he would not have offered his hand to Trump.
"You don't have to show respect for that kind of person," Lemon said.
His disdain for President Trump was even too much for his CNN coanchors to handle.
Chris Cuomo, on the other side of the screen, chided Lemon.
. @donlemon gets called out by @ChrisCuomo for saying he wouldn't have shaken Trump's hand at 41's service if he were Obama.
Cuomo: "You’re petty and small."
Lemon: "I’m not petty and small. That’s real, brother. That’s real."
Cuomo: "Real petty and small."
"This is not about ideology, this is about the way someone conducts themselves," Lemon insisted.
To expand on what Cuomo was getting at, perhaps Lemon should withhold his contempt for Trump until after we say our goodbyes to the late President Bush.
[thought that MH370 might have disappeared into a black hole]
Yes, that is one of the dumbest assertions ever made. These people are oblivious to the fact the Earth would have disappeared as well. And the Moon and Lord knows what else. Shaking my head.
“Didn’t” damn it.

Look out for Don Lemon at the bar. He wants to push your stool in.
The only way I'd tune in for Don Lemon is if he were being dropped into a construction dumpster full of twelve tons of shards of broken glass. Glad the slightly less nasty Chris Cuomo upbraided him live and on the air, and didn't back down. Cuomo will of course be given the "choice" of a fake apology or firing. Then CNN will rehire Hill.
How can lemon be a racissss?
He 'chickenheads' white guys {look it up}.
That was just his free-form fantasy, a hot mic mistake. And btw, don't say "hot mic" while he's around, either.
This might be the first time I’ve agreed with Chris Cuomo...
I wonder if Cuomo’s comment is a direct result of NY Gov Il Douche Cuomo having lunch with POTUS the other day.
Michelle needs to get over that birther thing that Hillary’s campaign started. Those people lie with every breath they take. And Cuomo is right, Lemon is petty and small.
Cuomo: “You’re petty and small.”
Lemon: “I’m not petty and small. That’s real, brother. That’s real.”
Cuomo: “Real petty and small.”
I am totally flabbergasted at this video and don’t know what to think of it. I did come across other negative comments about GHWB on the Internet but this one is pretty bad.

Any of you FReepers can clue me in? Like I said, I am totally ignorant of what this is all about. It is pretty gross.
Actually, my response to that would have been “I ain’t your brother, you ugly c##ksucking petty, small faggot”.
You salute the rank, not the person.
At a funeral like that, you suck it up and sit next to people you don’t like.
Exactly! Lemon is too much a racist, leftist, idiot or probably all to realize it.
If Don Lemon and Occasionally-Corked had a baby....oh....wait.
Let's see if he survives with his career intact. It'll be interesting to see if the fairy Lemon berates Kevin Hart.
