CNN host Don Lemon managed to connect President Trump to what has been called the largest college admissions scam ever prosecuted by the Department of Justice on Tuesday night by saying the president also benefited from a rigged system that favors the elite.
Earlier in the day, law enforcement officials announced 50 indictments for those involved in a scheme in which wealthy parents allegedly paid large sums of money for their children to be accepted at prestigious universities across the country. Among the high-profile individuals swept up in the controversy are TV actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin.
When Lemon tackled the topic during his opening monologue, he called it disturbing that such well-off families would go to such lengths to get their children into college and quickly pivoted to Trump.
The CNN Tonight host said that such a scandal can reinforce many peoples beliefs that the system is rigged against them, something he noted was a theme during Trumps 2016 presidential campaign.
CNN primetime shows filled with liberal opinion, not straight news as network claimsVideo This is what Donald Trump tapped into and in a lot of ways, guess what, he was right, Lemon conceded before using the scandal as the impetus to mention the president's own upbringing.
A lot of people will point out, and they have every right to do so, that Donald Trump himself is a beneficiary of a system thats rigged in favor of the elite. Lets not forget The New York Times investigation that revealed at age three, Donald Trump was earning $200,000 a year in todays dollars, Lemon told his viewers.
He was a millionaire by age 8, Lemon shrugged.

Some guys with exotic sounding names have gotten into college claiming to be foreign nationals. The appeal of a foreign born affirmative-action student is just too much to resist.
Yeah. My friend who went to Berkeley said, USC a mediocre school for rich kids but the connections you make there are second to none.
Yes, the Asian kids have the biggest beef, then next are the white kids.
My point still holds.
There's a bigger scheme than a few rich kids getting in. It's the affirmative action kids getting in.
This.
“He was a millionaire by age 8, Lemon shrugged.”
Yes being a millionaire is baaaaaaaaaad and evvvvvvvvvil. Unless you are donating a lot of money to the Demorats or if you are named Warren, Pelosi, Obama, Clinton...
Perhaps more than just remotely. Very few people ever remember seeing O-Hole attend any classes. And no release of his school records. I bet this has been going on for just he past decade.
thank goodness for quotas of this stumble bum, CNN host Don Lemon would be shining shoes.
Had to go out to Lemon’s twitter and leave him a note:
@DonLemon_CNN
Rush says Don Lemon is the dumbest man on television.
Your “connecting” Trump to the college scam kind of says “Rush is Right!”
That trail — if there is one — is very cold, Don Lemon. Aren’t you in the News Business where you are supposed to present facts?
______
Why does Tucker Carlson call Don Lemon ...... Don Le- MON ........ emphasis on the second syllable?
Tucker says it like the French sports race car event ... the Le Mans. He's been doing it for a couple of weeks now.
It's pretty funny.
No, it doesn’t really matter, but if the likes of Don the Lemon want to call out Trump and his family members for getting into top universities when not qualified, turnabout is fair play for Obozo and his wife Moochie too. What were the academic qualifications of those two to attend Columbia, Harvard and Princeton?
I hate the double standards of the lamestream media.
