Don Lemon Has Blunt Message For Democrats Over Obama's 'Cringey' Exchange With Trump
HuffPost
"Why does Karen Pence remember that but you don't?" the former CNN host said.
Former CNN host Don Lemon slammed Barack Obama for “yukking it up” with Donald Trump at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral on Thursday and urged Democrats not to be too civil to a man they cast as a fascist.
Obama and his successor were seen chatting and chuckling while seated together at the service. The exchange went viral, as did the moment Karen Pence appeared to snub Trump, whose antics on Jan. 6, 2021, saw his supporters calling for her husband, former Vice President Mike Pence, to be hanged.
“People had many, many questions,” Lemon said on his YouTube channel over the weekend. “How could Barack Obama, the man who faced vicious, racist conspiracies for years because of Trump, act so buddy-buddy with him? Does he not remember birtherism?”
He went on:
Perhaps more critically, does he not remember how his entire political party has been calling the man a fascist, an autocrat, a threat to democracy for months, if not years? People could not believe what they were seeing. Had the Democratic Party lied to them? Had Kamala Harris and Joe Biden lied to them? Is this all just a game?
