Don Lemon to Gavin Newsom: America Shoots Protesters Just Like Iran – No Moral High Ground Here

Don Lemon went on Gavin Newsom's podcast and declared America is no better than Iran.

🚨NEW: Don Lemon🤦‍♂️

"We are saying that Iran shoots protesters. Well, so do we ... that makes us no better than them — if we are acting and doing the very same things that they're doing, then what sort of moral authority do we have?"@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/TvhRXg03TR

This rhetoric is not at all shocking. Most people probably already knew Don Lemon hates America.

Absolute buffoons. Equating USA to Iran shooting protestors is insane, pernicious, and anti-American.
Disgusting. @CAgovernor Don Lemon. https://t.co/sVdwPXEAOy

Don Lemon is the worst kind of American. He's gay and a minority, but has been able to acquire massive wealth, fame and lives a beautiful lifestyle (when he isn't in jail for interrupting a church service with a mob). Even with all of that, things that would never be available to him in other countries, Lemon still degrades America. Why doesn't he go live in Iran? They'd kill him for being gay and he'd lose his life if he ever spoke poorly of the government. Lemon criticizes the United States and Trump daily without fear.

How these idiots every got a serious job is beyond me https://t.co/tCFUEubFpv

Because he lives in the United States where people are loving and accepting and Lemon has no idea how it is in the real world.

The stupidity of this statement is beyond anything I've seen. We are comparing apples to rocks. https://t.co/vrGkhgRcvl

Apparently, rocks are also what is inside Don's head.

It's not that the public is stupid. It's people don't pay attention. Most people want to be kind and accepting and have busy lives so they just take bits and pieces of political commentary they hear from various social media sites. Rather than fully thinking through issues, they take things at face value and they are missing tons of context. That's how people like Lemon become popular.

Have tens of thousands of Americans been shot recently that we don't know about? The level of stupidity being revealed is stunning. When they were able to lie and people didn't know about it, these people had a semblance of respectability. Now the truth is coming out and all we… https://t.co/Vqo9ZYMMoX

Lemon knows better. He's just lying with the expectations people will believe him because of his reputation. Unfortunately, there are people who think highly of him.

What an incredibly stupid comparison. Iran killed almost 70k protestors in a couple of weeks.

These guys will NEVER tell you the truth lol they will forever be disingenuous. By design.

We are no better than them? He should go walk the streets of Iran with his gay husband and see how well that goes over.

He would never. He's only brave when protected by the freedom of the United States.
