“We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men. Most of them [are] radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them.”
Finally, Lemon stated that there is “no white guy ban.”
Reactions to Lemon’s Assertions
Coverage of the new anchor’s statements has made multiple headlines. Many Americans have raised their eyebrows at such broad generalizations of one group of people. Others noted the irony of Lemon professing the importance of not demonizing any group or ethnicity promptly before he demonized white men. Some people even questioned about the outrage which would ensue if any other group in America were referred to as the “biggest terror threats” to the country.
At this time, Don Lemon has yet to follow up or apologize for this statements. Thus far, there is no indication that he has plans to do either. Lemon’s assertions come as debates about immigration continue to increase in the United States of America.
