On Wednesday, CNN’s Don Lemon proved once again how little he knows about anything he discusses on his low-rated primetime program Don Lemon Tonight. Further evidence of this is the fact that he asked two of his guests, Atlantic senior editor Ron Brownstein, and Washington Post columnist Max Boot why the Second Amendment is “sacrosanct” but Roe v. Wade is not.
Lemon first wanted to know why the Supreme Court seems poised to strike down Roe v. Wade despite a CNN poll showing that a “majority of Americans don’t want Roe v. Wade to be overturned.” Brownstein tried explaining to Lemon it’s because “the President nominates and the Senate confirms Supreme Court Justices” and because “both are tilted in the direction of small, rural predominantly white Christian states that Republicans dominate.”
Brownstein repeated the irrelevant fact that “Democrats have won the popular vote in seven of the past eight presidential elections” as if winning the popular vote matters in a system where the President is decided based on the electoral college. Attempting to slime his fellow Americans of the opposing party, he claimed: “the America of 1950 is now in [a] position to write the legal rules for the America of 2050.”
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
Proving again that he’s unfamiliar with our judicial system, Lemon asked Brownstein in response why the issue of abortion rights “take so much precedent” and why shouldn’t Americans be allowed to get abortions and “if you don’t believe in it, don’t get an abortion.”
Brownstein disregarded the fact Supreme Court Justice Alito’s majority opinion spelled out how overturning Roe v. Wade would not open the door to reversing gay marriage and claimed to know better than an Ivy league […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
