CNN anchor Don Lemon publicly backed then-Senator Kamala Harris’ support for arrested rioters last summer; saying her decision to promote a Minnesota ‘Bail-Out Fund’ was “entirely legal.”
“Harris tweeted about a fund to help people post bail, which is entirely legal … Trump incited an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. People were killed,” said Lemon.

“This impeachment trial was Unconstitutional. This process is an affront to the rule of law. He’s the first person to be impeached without a witness,” said Graham over the weekend.
“If you use this model, I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t get impeached if the Republicans take over the House, because she actually bailed out rioters. One of the rioters went back to the streets and broke somebody’s head open,” he added.

BREAKDOWN: CNN’s Don Lemon Suffers ON-AIR MELTDOWN Over Trump Soldier Story
CNN’s Don Lemon weeps on live television after reading his personal letter to President Trump.
HERE WE GO AGAIN: Another CNN Correspondent Trashes ‘Republican Fools,’ Says Trump Supporters a ‘Cult’
CNN correspondent Ana Navarro-Cardenas found herself in hot-water on social media this week; blasting “Republican fools” hours after Don Lemon was widely criticized for mocking GOP voters across the country.
“Surreal to see Trump and his cult attack Bolton & call into question his Conservative credentials. Bolton was the Conservarive foreign policy poster-child back when Trump was a Democrat, and an Independent, and when he figured-out Republicans were the fools who could support him,” she posted on Twitter.

Lemon made similar comments earlier this week; laughing after his panel labeled Trump supporters “rubes.”
“[Pompeo] also knows deep within 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,” correspondent Rick Wilson told Don Lemon. “He knows that this is, you know, an administration defined by ignorance of the world. And so that’s partly him playing to the base and playing to their audience. You know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump.”
“‘Donald Trump’s the smart one — and y’all elitists are dumb!'” he added in a mock southern accent. “‘Your math and your reading!'”
The arrogance, the dismissiveness, the smug cackling, the accents.

“That was good,” Lemon reacted. “That was a good one. I needed that.”
President Trump reacted to the clip on social media, saying “Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television (with terrible ratings!)”
