A panel led by way of CNN’s Don Lemon erupted Sunday afternoon over the “Million Vet March on the Memorials,” a protest towards the closure of the World Warfare II Memorial as a result of the government shutdown—a march that also featured a Confederate flag, audio system calling President Barack Obama Muslim, and Nazi references.
“Ben, it’s important to be embarrassed via this video,” Lemon stated to conservative radio host Ben Ferguson. “You’re now not embarrassed for some contributors of your birthday celebration?” When Ferguson tried to argue that the protest was once constructed from a handful of people not affiliated with conservatives or Republicans, Lemon reduce him off. “Who initiated this protest? It was tea celebration Republicans. Lower the crap.”
“Lower the crap?” Ferguson mentioned. “I like the way you suppose that everybody that’s a conservative or tea partier was once going to be available in the market nowadays. If that used to be actual, why wasn’t there 1,000,000 tea birthday celebration individuals in the market? There wasn’t as a result of this is not the vast majority of the tea celebration. So I’d say to you lower the crap and stop seeking to label us with a blanket observation.”
“It’s a misplaced emotion,” Lemon said. “The individual within the White Home reasonably frankly didn’t shut the government down. The Republican Celebration, tea celebration individuals shut the federal government down. In the event that they will have to be hanging barricades up, perhaps they must be doing it in entrance of the Capitol.”
Lemon performed a clip of Freedom Watch’s Larry Klayman telling Obama to “put the Quran down” and resign the presidency.
“You found a loopy man,” Ferguson stated. “Congratulations! There’s 360 million Americans, and you discovered a loopy guy and you set him on national TV.”
“People like that loopy guy are the explanation people are furloughed,” Lemon answered. “It’s the explanation there’s gridlock presently, it’s the reason that we have now a executive shutdown. It’s as a result of a small faction of the Republican Birthday Party—folks like that man—are protecting American citizens hostage.”
