CNN\u2019s Don Lemon wants to \u2018do something\u2019 about white men, \u2018the biggest terror threat\u2019<\/h1>\n

RT.com<\/p>\n

Demonstrating a complete failure to grasp the concept of irony, CNN\u2019s Don Lemon urged Americans not to \u201cdemonize\u201d each other, and in the same breath called white men \u201cthe biggest terror threat in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking with co-host Chris Cuomo on Monday night, Lemon discussed a fatal shooting of two black people in a grocery store in Kentucky, a raft of pipe bombs mailed to Democratic figures, and Saturday\u2019s shooting dead of 11 worshippers at a Pittsburgh synagogue. The Kentucky and Pittsburgh shooters were white males, while Cesar Sayoc, the mailbomb suspect arrested in Florida last Friday, has identified in the past as Native American.<\/p>\n

Lemon\u2019s initial message was one of tolerance and openness.\u00a0\u201cI keep trying to point out to people and not to demonize any one group or any one ethnicity,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he told viewers.<\/p>\n

Then, as if completely forgetting the last sentence, Lemon switched to what sounded a lot like open racism.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right. And we have to start doing something about them,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.\u00a0\u201cThere is no travel ban on them. There is no ban on… they had the Muslim ban. There is no white guy ban. So, what do we do about that?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Predictably, Lemon\u2019s \u2018blame whitey\u2019 monologue rankled conservatives on Twitter.<\/p>\n
