CNN’s Lemon: Republicans Expelling Black Lawmakers in Tennessee Is ‘Racism’
Breitbart ^ | 04/07/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 04/07/2023 9:19:47 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

CNN anchor Don Lemon said Friday on “CNN This Morning” that Tennessee Republicans who expelled two black lawmakers over a gun violence protest inside the state capitol did so because of “racism.”

Lemon said, “Look, it’s. They could have done a censure. Right. I think the right question was, why take the most drastic action afterwards? This is exactly what our country was built on. On protesting. Not everyone — protests aren’t perfect. It’s also unconscious bias. It’s racism. It’s a double standard in our society. Obviously, I don’t have to say. I doubt they would have done this to white members because guess what? They didn’t. They did it to the two black members. And especially the two black men. It’s like usually, especially with something like this, the way people think about black men in this society needs to really be examined, especially with protests, especially with how we express ourselves.”

Morons like him see everything as a matter of race. No matter what the issue. No matter what the incident.

Someday when the races have melted and we all are blended, they won’t be able to say RACISM. I wonder how many European DNA genes Lemon has...

This is Republican Stupidity in Action.

Of course when they didn’t expel the White person, they left it open that the narrative would be that they only expelled the black guys.

Then at least the focus would have been on the fact they were Democrats and not black. Now it’s all race.

They spiked the ball on the one-yard line.

“We’re sorry, Mr. Lemon, but your race card has been declined. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause. Have a nice day.”

How does he know it’s racism? Isn’t this the same as yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater in this environment? CNN should be liable for any violent acts that come from this “news”.

“double standard in our society”

He’s right about that. He expected the black guys to get a pass.

And now as a result, the two blacks most likely will be back and given a formal apology.

Legislators should be able to use a bull horn and disrupt legislative proceedings without fear of being expelled.

Just ignore the Blacks. Everything is racism, so nothing is racism. If they kicked out the fat White broad, they would have been racist AND sexist. Republicans need to stop wasting time and money on the Black community in urban areas, they’re beyond hope. Focus on the Hispanics..
