CNN host Dom Lemon shocked many observers on Thursday when he demanded that journalists begin treating Republicans like they are dangerous to American society.

As The Daily Wire reports:

CNN anchor Don Lemon appeared to buck new company president Chris Licht’s more fair-minded approach, saying on Thursday that if journalists were truly doing their jobs, they needed to treat Republicans as though they are dangerous to society as a whole.

Lemon made an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” to discuss the state of politics with just a few months left before November’s midterm elections, and he argued that it was not reasonable to treat Republicans and Democrats as simply two opposing sides with differing ideas of how to best make life better for the American people.

“We sit around and we talk about these things and we want to give this false equivalence to Democrats and Republicans. That is not where we are right now,” Lemon explained. “Republicans are doing something that is very dangerous to our society and we have to acknowledge that. We have to acknowledge that as Americans, we must acknowledge that as journalists, because if we don’t, we’re not doing our jobs. We cannot sit here and pretend like ‘Well, Republicans, cut them a break …’ They have a lot to answer for in this moment.”

Among the things Lemon wanted Republicans to “answer for” were the Capitol Riot on January 6 and a series of laws restricting abortion that followed immediately after the Supreme Court handed down its 6-3 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — which overturned landmark abortion cases Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

Lemon went on to demand that any Republicans appearing on liberal networks be immediately forced to ‘answer’ for their alleged crimes.

  1. What does Lemon mean by “start” trearing Republicans like foreign enemies? Like always, he’s well behind the pack.

  2. When will he be calling for the imprisonment or death of all Trump supporters? That’s where this kind of rhetoric normally ends up.

  3. We hear you out here Don. I would like to remind you that no Republicans advocate cutting off the genitals of gender-confused youth. Also, we can look down between our legs and recognize our sexual identity, while wondering how someone who can’t, could presume to lecture us on their “perceptions”, “feelings” and “thoughts”, Though this is just a partial example of the “logic” the hysterical left has brought to the forefront of our society, it indicates the level at which the “social acceptance” component of human phycology, has severely contaminated the “acceptable” thought process. The negative outcomes of this are blamed on the rational opposition, as are all mental illnesses, by those ill.

  4. Those involved in the January 6 fiasco are dealing with justice NOW. There is no reason for the rest of Republicans be treated as criminals. If that treatment is the order of the day, then EVERY DEMOCRAT should be held to the same standard for the riots, murder and damage from the Summer of 2020. Lemon lives up to his name as a bitter piece of garbage (and probably a fruit too). Who cares what that partisan traitor this country thinks. Although, we are foreign to him by being patriotic Americans.

  5. Guess I see it opposite. Democrats believe you can spend your way
    out of debt. Sorry, thats how you make more debt. AOC said,”do you
    not understand what free is?”She does not know, there is no free lunch.
    They spend money like there is an endless supply, yes I guess you can
    print more daily. What happens is called inflation. All of Congress
    and the Senate need to be forced to have a fresher course of math,
    the constitution,and economics before they are sworn in. Maybe
    that would solve problems before the happen.

  6. Don Lemon is a degenerate, anti-American POS. If ANYONE is the enemy of this country, it’s Democrats and their socialist agenda.

  7. These socialist communist extremist hateful people, like those from CNN, should rightfully be removed from our country and sent to some place more suited for their dark and sick minds! These are NOT true Americans. They are either too stupid and lost, or they really believe the corruption and lies coming from their mouths!!! No one watches CNN that has any brains anyways.

  8. Crackpots like Don Lemon are why CNN’s ratings are in the proverbial toilet, and CNN’s viewership is down by 90%.

  9. limon should go to a country that he likes better that the America that he hates so much. Tell me limon, where are you going to go to live with your gay friend and poor little baby where you will be accepted as you are here? Where you don’t have to hide your….particular style?? You are no reporter, but an UGLY person who has been reprogrammed by the pelosis et all into useful idiot.

  10. YOU are the dangerous one Lemon. Look into your own destruction of truths to promote an incompatible man for president and then aid and abet the corrupt political Democrats to undo our democracy and allow the left to commit larceny and theft without apprehending them and allowing police to be brutally abused and shot without outrage.

  11. Sour lemon is a evil, stupid, fool. I think the people with the brains are starting to see him for what he is, a lying, corrupt, cheating fool and stopped watching him.

  12. No matter who is in office food stamps and welfare will come to an end. You poor me people wont have the time to burn and tear up things anymore. Youre going to have to get a job or starve.

  13. Not surprising at all! The liberal playbook has always been to accuse others of what they themselves are guilty of. They are finally realizing their policies are a disaster so their first reaction is deflect onto others. Nothing new here!

  14. Don Lemon is someone who should be fired because he is neither a journalist or an elected Representative or Senator. Republicans are not the political Party causing all the problems our country is having. Therefore, may I suggest that perhaps the Democrat Party should be designated a threat to our form of government. Remember, the USA is a Constitutional Republic whereby we elect people to make laws that government mostly what we can and can not do and does not violate our constitution. Unfortunately, a lot of what is happening under the Democrats is against our constitution. This regime has arrested individuals, placed them in prisons, treated them terribly, and are violating their right to a speedy trial. They are treating these people as political Prisoners; contrary to the constitution. Many of these prisoners did nothing but exercise their right to protest an election. It is past time to do something about this. Where are the Republicans on this issue?

  15. Don Lemon thinks he’s a real journalist, we all know he is nothing but a lowlife liar & a pretend reporter! His cockyness is going to come back & bite him one day, the sooner the better!

  16. I will believe Don Lemon when he tells exactly what Republicans are doing that is more dangerous to our Society than what Obama did with his “fundamental transformation of the USA”, and what Joe Biden is doing with his totally destructive executive orders that are dismantling the US constitution.

  17. Don Lemon is seriously neo Nazi. He is reading straight from Hitlers playbook when he demands that Republicans (and conservatives) be declared the enemy of the nation.
    Does he not hear himself? Does he not know history or understand free speech and debate?

  18. Why would this guy even have a forum? He is not a journalist…he has never been a journaliust. He goes beyong being biased. He is simply a shill for the far left and the Dms. He has even dropped all pretense of being a journalist….amazing that he still has a job.

  19. This pervert would be wiser to just shut his mouth. Why isn’t he being charged with sexual asalt for grabbing some guy . Yet alone demand anything . He joined the terrorists group of the democrats and is a sexal pervert. He can be glad he’s still free from jail.
