CNN’s Don Lemon, one of the most despicable people ever to
trod the planet, has finally had enough of the riots destroying large swaths of
major American cities. But not because of the deaths and injuries they have
inflicted on innocent people. Not because people’s livelihoods have been taken
from them. Not because so many, minorities and immigrants among them, have had
their businesses—and lives—destroyed. Not because of pollution and environmental
degradation stemming from the countless fires. Not because of the loss of
historical statues and monuments. And certainly not because of the staggering
amount of vandalism, theft and looting. No, Lemon has long been untroubled by
all of this. He has, in fact, alternately excused and championed the
violence for three long months now.
So why
did he recently encourage Joe Biden to denounce the riots? Because they
(finally!) appear to be beginning to hurt
Democrats in the polls, of course. This he cannot countenance. Lemon
(pronounced La’ mon) is deeply concerned that Biden’s chances of defeating
President Trump will be lessened if he doesn’t make a public call for an end to
the rioting and lawlessness. So, in Lemon’s mind, the prudent thing for Biden to
do is to pretend to suddenly be appalled at the violence and mayhem (that
Democrats’ own policies have engendered). Calculating? Yes. Hypocritical? Yes.
Genuine, human, honest? No, no and no.
What’s
next? Will Lemon call for Biden to disparage late-term abortions when the next
poll finds, as it will, that most Americans are against it? Will he demand that
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.)
renounce terrorism and global Islamic Jihad? Oh, wait, I guess they don’t poll
for that.
