Lemon, White Men, and Terrorism

Oh shit! You mean Lemon has the FACTS on his side?



Uh-oh!



"Although many conservatives slammed Lemon for his comments, research supports his statement. According to a 2017 report from the Nation Institute’s Investigative Fund and the Center for Investigative Reporting’s Reveal, there were nearly twice as many terrorist incidents by right-wing extremists (the majority of whom are white) as by Islamic extremists in the U.S. from 2008 to 2018."

But what was Lemon talking about anyway?  Is there some sort of context not being presented by his critics?  Let's read up on it:



"Lemon was referring to three incidents of violence last week: Gregory Alan Bush is accused of killing two black people at a grocery store, Cesar Sayoc is charged with sending pipe bombs to several of the president’s challengers, and Robert Bowers is accused of walking into a Pittsburgh synagogue and fatally shot 11 people after screaming, “All Jews must die!” "

CNN, Lemon, and Clinton Rules

Did you notice anything unusual about Lemon's moderating of the debate between Clinton and Sanders?

At one point in the proceeding, Lemon challenged Clinton on a crime bill passed while she was NOT a part of the government.

He asked why should we trust her now after supporting this bill. She handled Lemon's snarky attack with grace as usual.

We couldn't WAIT to see Lemon challenge Sanders on the same bill.

My my! If Hillary's in hot water for favoring the bill, then SURELY Sanders would be in hot water over his VOTING FOR it; right?

But wait!

Lemon pretended NOT EVEN TO KNOW that Sanders voted for the bill.

I'd say after that performance, Lemon would be hard pressed to moderate a debate for high school student government president.
