They Said One Thing To Don Lemon And He Had A Total Temper Tantrum! kristel October 22, 2021 Uncategorized During the Wednesday segment of the show Don Lemon Tonight, the host chatted with fellow CNN anchor Chris Cuomo about how the Senate Republicans voted against a motion to debate voting rights legislation earlier in the day. Lemon, slam his fist on his desk as he grew increasingly more frustrated during the talk, said it isn’t the Republicans’ fault this is happening, but rather the Democrats who can’t seem to get their message out. “Why are you so bad at politics, Democrats?” Lemon asked. “When you have the winning message, when you have the Senate and you have the Congress and you have the White House and you can’t win with a winning message, something is wrong,” he added. Lemon then took it a step further, as he called Democrats “weak” becoming agitated and accused them of not being passionate enough about “saving” America even though Lemon and fellow left-wing host Chris Cuomo agreed that Democrats had a messaging problem when it came to communicating their agenda during the handoff between their respective shows. Lemon said as he beat his hand on his desk, “Democrats get your butts in gear and get passionate about saving this damn country! You’re not doing it. You’re weak. You are weak. You are weak.” Don Lemon: Not Media’s Job to Sell Agenda, ‘Democrats Get Your Butts In Gear! You Are Weak!’ pic.twitter.com/Ez5OpyZ6GJ — Alexandra Datig | Front Page Index (@alexdatig) October 21, 2021 The massive Democrat-backed multi-trillion dollar social spending package included items that Americans wanted but weren’t being advocated for in the right way, Lemon claimed. Lemon said, “If you get someone in a ruby red state or rural state to understand that … then it’s a win for you, Republicans … are going around the country and they are winning with a lie. They’re able to get people on their side with a total lie and Democrats can’t get people motivated with the truth that will help them.” Lemon added, “So what is going on with you? Why are you so bad at politicking? Why are you so bad at politics, Democrats? When you have the winning message, when you have the Senate and you have the Congress and you have the White House and you can’t win with a winning message, something is wrong.” He said, “And it’s not that the Republicans are doing this and that. They’re better at the messaging than you are! That’s what it is! It’s not the Republicans’ fault, it’s your fault. You have yourself to blame, Democrats. Get it together.” Cuomo agreed Democrats needed to “up their game,” but also argued they appeared weak because they weren’t organized within their own ranks. He added that some sort of spending bill would eventually get passed, but that the win wouldn’t be as impressive because of how Democrats handled the process. Lemon claimed it was necessary for Democrats to win on getting the spending bill passed because democracy was on the line. He implored them to do whatever it took to get their message across, including having President Joe Biden use the “bully pulpit” to change the narrative over the spending bill. Lemon said as he became increasingly frustrated, “When you say I’m going to have a press conference, I’m inviting the media to do this, I’m going to actually go into the press room with Jen Psaki and I’m going to show up there sometimes and surprise people and guess what? I’m going to pull the nation in with my narrative, I’m going to tell them what is in the bill. I’m going to tell them what I’m selling that is going to help them … I’m not just going to sit back and expect the news media to do it for me because it’s not our job to sell the narrative … It’s not our job to sell your agenda for you.” He added, “The only reason that I’m so enthusiastic about this is because our democracy is on the line and I don’t want America to lose its democracy. I don’t want America to be a country of minority rule and I don’t want America to be a place where Black and Brown people like me, whose ancestors fought and died for the right to vote, are restricted from going to the voting booth.” Sources: Foxnews, Foxbangor Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
