CNN host Don Lemon and two guests on his show are facing backlash after they mocked President Trump's supporters and depicted them as uneducated.
CNN on a regular basis, when they are not creating and
promoting fake news, likes to take time out and mock not only Donald Trump, but the
63 million plus Deplorables who voted for him as well. They do it because they are smug and secure in the knowledge that they are better than you and I are, and because of that, have the right to mock and belittle those with whom they disagree. One such incident was captured and tweeted before CNN could destroy the evidence.
This is also why Donald Trump is undergoing impeachment right now, because the Liberal elites cannot and will not accept him as president, duly elected though he may be, and will do anything and everything in their power to prevent his reelection. But know this, they don't just hate him, they hate me and you as well. Don't take my word for it, watch the video and see it for yourself.
CNN host Don Lemon and guests mock Trump supporters as uneducated and illiterate
FROM WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Don Lemon
was joined by
New York Times columnist and CNN contributor Wajahat Ali and GOP strategist Rick Wilson during his show Saturday night to discuss the recent feud between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and NPR. Following an interview last week, Pompeo yelled at NPR reporter
Mary Louise Kelly and demanded she locate Ukraine, the topic of the initial disagreement, on an unlabeled map.
Wilson pivoted the conversation to attack Trump supporters, claiming they wouldn't be able to identify Ukraine.
"Pompeo also knows deep in his heart that Donald Trump couldn't find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter 'U' and a picture of an actual, physical crane next to it," he stated, eliciting a laugh from Lemon. "He knows that this is, you know, an administration defined by ignorance of the world. And so, that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience. You know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump."
Wilson, who has written anti-Trump books, including Everything Trump Touches Dies and Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America From Trump — and Democrats From Themselves, then went on to use a heavy Southern accent to impersonate how he believes a Trump supporter speaks, stating, "'Donald Trump's the smart one — and y'all elitists are dumb!'"
"'You elitists with your geography and your maps — and your spelling!'" Ali chimed in, while his fellow guest added, "'Your math and your reading! All those lines on the map!'"
Don Lemon, who had to wipe his eyes after laughing so hard that he started to cry, said, "That was a good one. I needed that." The clip went viral on Monday night after former CNN digital producer Steve Krakauer tweeted it, writing, "The arrogance, the dismissiveness, the smug cackling, the accents. If Donald Trump wins re-election this year, I’ll remember this brief CNN segment late one Saturday night in January as the perfect encapsulation for why it happened."
Soon after, both Trump and members of his campaign attacked the segment. Trump tweeted that Lemon is "the dumbest man on television" and added that he has "terrible ratings," both of which are insults he's thrown at the anchor previously.
"Deplorables. This Deplorable is ready," Trump 2020 campaign director
Brad Parscale tweeted, while Trump campaign communications director
Tim Murtaugh wrote, "This is a real segment from an actual program on a cable news network that asks to be taken seriously. Not subtle message to huge parts of America: THEY HATE YOU."
