Don Lemon of CNN has lashed out at anyone who works at the White House. He has accused Trump of hostile towards Barack Obama.
He said “let me be plainly clear, anyone who is in that White House and is supporting him [Trump] is complicit in their racism as well.”
Don Lemon is a journalist and American news anchor. He hosts CNN tonight and is based in New York City.
Lemon has been very outspoken when it comes to Trump. He has made it very clear that he doesn’t support anyone who discriminates.
Tensions have been high since Trump’s comments about Racism. He spoke about the Charlottesville violence recently.
His initial comments brought criticism and protests. He later made another statement condemning the actions of white supremacists.
Upsetting
Lemon asked, “how can anyone defend what he the president said yesterday? It is indefensible. I can’t believe people get up here on CNN and on other networks and defend, actually try to defend.”
He continued by saying “especially African Americans and Jewish people, to try to defend what Donald Trump said yesterday. There is no defense for what he said yesterday.”
Lemon was very upset by what he considered total disregard for blacks. He felt that those affected kept quiet on the issue or defended Trump.
Lemon was referencing those who stood beside the President. He said those people themselves are among those who can be affected.
Lemon had much to say about Trump’s behavior towards Obama.
He said, “we know now why he’s so upset. For those of you who did know, so obsessed with Barack Obama.”
“Barack Obama was a black president. Maybe he didn’t think Barack Obama was fit to be in office. He traded on racial animus and racial BS and he’s been doing it for decades, and we are going to sit here and pretend that we’re surprised,” he continued.
