Newsweek reports:
CNN’s Don Lemon let rip on President Donald Trump Thursday night, after a report claimed he referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as “shithole countries.” Lemon — who just last month was himself attacked by Trump on Twitter—opened Thursday’s CNN Tonight: “The President of the United States is racist.”
Later, during a heated panel discussion on Trump’s remarks, Lemon grew incensed by John Fredericks, Trump’s former presidential campaign co-chair in Virginia, who tried to claim that the issue wasn’t race, or Trump’s apparent bigotry, but a matter of economics.
Fredericks told Lemon that making it a race issue was “easy and lazy.” That is when Lemon decided to pull the plug on Fredericks. “Can we cut him off? Can we take him off the screen?”

Maybe I could take the Left’s righteous indignation seriously if they did not defecate on police cars and parade in public wearing vagina hats. #ToddStarnesShow
