Don Lemon is a hero. Just two or three sentences into listening to John Fredericks.....

...(maybe not the right spelling), a right wing radio asshole, he cut him off and threw him off his show.

That ass clown said about trump's comments, "this is not about race" and then implied people from those countries are "lazy".

I was kind of hoping Lemon would let him go on longer, so they all could destroy the asshat

This is a big reason America is so stupid.

Lemon and company are doing a fine job with this gutter snipe,though.

....."I will gut you like a fish"! I have to find this video tomorrow morning and watch it, it's hysterical.

And that asshole is still claiming "it's not about race". It just happens that trump wants immigrants from a 99% WHITE country instead of from Africa, Haiti, and El Salvador. What kind of people are they? ALL black and brown.

Hate to say it, but the standing up time is over 2 years late for y’all

Reminds me of the Iraq war boosters in the liberal media, especially the opinion leading NYT and WaPo

Also creeps like Tweety, who, for a time, permanently attached their lips to the Chimp’s scrotebag

...how do you know that for "y'all" that "standing up time is over 2 years late"? No, it's not late, and I and many here have been standing up for two years or longer (btw, bush and the Iraq war was WAY longer ago than 2 years!)

Again, this is about trump and what's going on TODAY, not your laundry list of peccadilloes of years ago.

I was born in Brooklyn, NEW YORK, USA, and have lived in the United States my entire 70 years. Your assumption is misguided and grossly insulting. My mother was a proud Canadian. That's all I'll say for now, thank you.

Good night!

...CNN in particular has the media equivalent of a hangover and that dazed look at times. I can almost hear the inner monologue, "My god, what have we done?"

....the litany of racial/ethnic terms that have been used to denigrate all sorts of people - white, black, brown, and yellow. He mentioned them all.

The N word had nothing to do with it though because it's not specifically used as a slur against black immigrants.
