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.”

I am sure he has a lot of European DNA inside him...
Why did they chicken out and not expel Whitey?
Lemon still having a job is racism.
No, now we just need Congress to do the same with members are arrested for protesting. Maybe Tennessee is the start of a bit of pushback to hold people accountable. They do need to have a second vote on the white member who got a pass while the to blacks were expelled. That is wrong.
Presumably by Gyorgy Schwartz.
Apparently, they were three votes short on expelling the woman. All three votes-women reps.
But a black prosecutor suing a white billionaire “hundreds of times” is not racism.
One chickened out the white female blob stayed in by one vote. I wonder if the one chicken was a woman showing vagina solidarity?
Don Lemon, misogynist and race hustler.
Just Black Democrats demanding a return to the Jim Crow gun laws of the past. For everyone.
What about shooting unarmed non-violent protestor Ashli Babbit from 6 feet away when she was helplessly lodged in a window and could have easily been taken into custody by multiple police in a calm situation right next to her? Is that part of a racist double standard?
Ahh! ... thanks for checking!
I heard it was just one, but three and all women.
Vagina power has spoken!
The SOBs are lucky that they are not locked away in a DC prison for three years pending trial for their insurrection!!
Pos wimps chickened out ousting the other racist bastard! They should have voted on them all at the same time! Spineless idiots.
“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...”
My wife taught at a Black school for a few years. They call each other names based on the tone of their skin. If you had dark skin you where called the N word.
Yes, Don. It could be racism. It could also be RACISM is the reason why you have YOUR job.
All you “that’s racist!” whiners take a listen. I, and millions of others just do not care anymore nor really listen to your bleats. Why? Because you abuse that sentiment to cover up each and every inadequacy, failure, dislike or butt-hurt feeling you have. Grow up and become just a human for once. Stop using the fact you’re black and your ancestors suffered under real discrimination and adversity while you enjoy minority protected status unparalleled in histsory.
Today? All your whining is nothing more than a cover for your hatred of white people and the denial of your own self-hatred.
We know it’s not racist, that’s not the point.
For some reason the GOP decided not to can the white bitch for some reason. So through their “virtue signaling” attempt, they took what should have been a slam dunk, and gave the media fodder.
Optics do matter. You and I don’t like that, but there it is.
