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 agree that the whole dang lot of them should have been given the heave-ho. Thank the handful of stupid Republicans.
Dear Don, STHU, rules are rules, deal with it crybaby.
Avoid being called “sexist”, get called “racist” instead.
It’s the most Republican thing ever.
dfw. U know me from my posts. Frankly, you may not know that it was only the two black’s who used the bullhorn. The Caucasian in the 3 never did. That is what saved her fanny.
There’s that R word again. That’s all liberals have.
Don't LIKE the rules??? Go to the polls and vote for different rules. PERIOD. That is the system that has been working for everyone else ... for over 200 years!
J6 folks are in jail for less than what that bitch did.
“the way people think about black men in this society needs to really be examined”
He is exactly right on this. I recommend we start by thinking about how 2% of certain people commit 50% of all murders.
Don Lemon playing the race card…. It’s a day ending in ‘y’.
Race card is overcharged, Donny-boy.
Oh no, now blacks will stop voting for republicans !
Agree. The difference as I see it is these two trashed a legal meeting /their JOB and solutions on the state’s issue’s. If I am wrong tell me.

I think in this case the lawmaker caused his expulsion. While there were three involved, their actions were not the same.
To give all of them the same expulsion would have been an act of ‘equity’ and not a punishment based on the same behavior.
Yep, really dumb..again.
More people on this site read the snippet than actually watched Don Lemon’s show.
‘Optics’ matter only to government and MSM. I could give a crap what they say or how they say it or protest. Sooner or later their protestations fall on deaf ears with the general populace who aren’t part of their victim group and all they do is foment animosity and dislike where there was none. And, truthfully? That’s what they want. To continue that government/MSM-protected victim status.
Lemon needs to stay in his own lane.
Lemon can find racism in a bowl of cereal
