"We don’t need to worry about people who are thousands of miles away. The biggest threats are homegrown. The facts prove that.”

Boy, I sure am glad Democrats no longer worry about offending white men right before an election!

It is true that illegal immigrants commit fewer violent crimes than white men.

I know truth hurts, let's not be snowflakes or politically correct. Let's be factually correct. But the Democrats shouldn't forget about the white male. CNN is mostly about women's issues and minorities.

He literally said "we gotta stop dividing people" and then proceeded to divide. LOL. Imagine if say a Fox person said the exact same thing but "black men" instead. It would be national news, the person who said it would be fired, media matters would stalk their advertisers, etc. Look at how Megyn Kelly was just treated. And she didn't even say anything actually racist.

This is misleading from your own link. He didn’t state that white men generally are the biggest terrorist threat. He said it was far right radicals that happen to primarily be white men. This is to contrast with racialized fears of non white men as the primary source of terrorism. If you are so concerned with this affecting Democratic election odds, why are you participating in a campaign to mislead about it?

Good question.

Okay he said, "the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them."

But I bet Lemon wouldn't have the balls to say that Islam is the most dangerous religion in the world.

We all know how much we've changed each others opinions on this board. I wonder if Don's boyfriend will make him qualify his statement to, "Straight white men" being the biggest terrorist threat in the US.

Lemon did not explain how “right-wing extremist” automatically translates into his generalization of “white men” as a whole. As an example, the mail bomber caught last month will likely be listed as a “right-wing extremist,” but is a Filipino who identifies as a Seminole Indian.

Lemon also cherry-picked a statistic that best fit his partisan narrative, which is a sub-sub-sub statistic based on deadly attacks only between the years 2007-2016.

What Lemon did not want his viewers to know, however, is that in less than three years, there have been over 630 recorded acts of violence, threats, vandalism, and bullying by leftists against Trump and his supporters.

What’s more, Lemon and his far-left network regularly encourage, justify, and dismiss this violence against Trump and his supporters.

Just last month, Lemon said leftists have a “constitutional right” to harass Republicans until they are chased out of a public space, such as a restaurant.

and just a reminder.

Obama-Trump voters represented only about 4% of the electorate. But because they were concentrated in the swing states of the industrial north-east and mid-west, they outweighed Mrs Clinton’s more modest gains with groups such as the college-educated whites who migrated from the Republicans to the Democrats. They are the main reason Mr Trump won Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, the states that sealed his victory.

Don Lemon doubles down.

“We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them,” Lemon told Cuomo on Monday.

I dunno. I'd think how the last major election panned out for Democrats talking heads would be a little more diplomatic and inclusive since early voting has started, mail-in voting has been ongoing, and election day is <5 days away. I also find it hypocritical, that in 2018 if a white person says the 'wrong' thing they're done professionally, but here we have a black gay man straight up telling the world white men are the biggest terrorist threat and we need to do something about them.

What in the world does THAT mean?

eta: From MarketWatch:

“There is no travel ban on them,” Lemon said during the handoff between shows. “There is no ban on — you know, they had the Muslim ban. There is no ‘white guy ban.’ So what do we do about that?”

Cool.
