Don Lemon on Friday demanded to know, “What is wrong with the right?â€
The “CNN Tonight†anchor questioned why Republicans would spend their week railing against so-called “cancel culture†as America reeled from the “brutal†killing of eight people at massage parlors in the Atlanta-area. Six of the victims were women of Asian descent.
Lemon also hammered the 14 House Republicans who this week voted against a measure condemning the military coup in Myanmar, highlighting the Southeast Asian country’s army’s allegations of mass election voter fraud and ex-President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
The GOP and its base “are still under the spell of a disgraced, twice-impeached, one-term president,†suggested Lemon. “This is about truth, or maybe I should say this is about a lie. Because if people were acting on the truth, then there would be no need for an insurrection.â€
“While America is reckoning with the hate that he left us with, that is what is going on,†he concluded.
