Don Lemon called Donald Trump racist in an epic 10-minute monologue in response to the President branding him the ‘dumbest man on television’ after his LeBron James interview.
On his CNN show on Monday night, Lemon said some Americans ‘feel emboldened’ to be racist in public ‘because the president is.’
Lemon told viewers that Trump had made a ‘nasty, hateful swipe’ at he and James after he had interviewed the NBA star.
‘Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon,’ Trump said in a retaliatory tweet on Friday.’He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!’
Lemon responded on his show on Monday night: ‘Referring to African-Americans as dumb is one of the oldest canards of America’s racist past and present – that black people are of inferior intelligence.’
He added: ‘Let me not mince words here, this president traffics in racism and is fueled by bullying.
‘From keeping children at the border in cages to bullying journalists at every one of his rallies and every chance he gets.’
Lemon added: ‘President Trump is trying and divide and conquer strategy and here is how it goes. He divides by race and tries to conquer decency by smearing and besmirching the truth and the people who fight to uphold it.’
