For literally years, the left has tried to convince us that Donald Trump is nothing but a racist and sexist who plays on the bigotry of American voters to get put in power.
New evidence is coming out that suggests nothing could be further from the truth, and even the left is starting to be forced to admit it.
Former CNN host and prominent liberal Don Lemon has NEVER been one to give Trump any kudos, but even he can't deny what he's seeing in America. Millions of black men are supporting Donald Trump because they see the example Trump is setting and they want to be like him.
Don Lemon made his comments on a recent appearance on MSNBC.
Don Lemon was appearing on "The ReidOut" with host Joy Reid. While there, host Reid wanted to see if Don Lemon could explain why Donald Trump was enjoying so much popularity in the black community compared to Republican presidential candidates of the past.
In her questions, you could see that the liberal media is pretty upset about the support Trump's enjoying, and they're trying hard to convince black people to abandon the Republican.
"You did recently speak with a lot of black men supporting Trump. I have to ask you about it. Here it is," Reid asked Lemon. It was clear what kind of answer Reid was hoping for as she tried to lead Lemon, calling Trump "disdainful" toward black people.
Don Lemon wasn't anymore eager than Reid to give Trump his flowers. He basically said that black voters who support Trump must be stupid for not knowing which political party gives them more handouts.
"I have been talking to a lot of black men who say they’re supporting Donald Trump. Who are you voting for? After several black men answered Trump, an unidentified man said, 'I think the reason why the money he gave away last time he was in office is what they’re looking for again.'"
Reid wanted to know why black people might support Trump despite how terrible she thinks Donald is, "What do you make of that? What do you make of black men, as disdainful as Trump is to black people?"
Lemon responded, "I think you’ll agree as a journalist, as an American, you should have some knowledge before you say you’re going to vote for them before you go into the polling place. A lot of them said I liked him because he gave me the stimulus check. I am like, that did not come from Donald Trump. His name was on it. It came from a Democratic Congress and Nancy Pelosi. I do think that some of it is bravado. I also think that it is aspirational. Donald Trump, devil may care, is flying around in airplanes, on gold toilets, beautiful women and all those things. I think maybe men who don’t have an agency that white men have in society, maybe it is aspirational to them, and they want to be like him, and therefore they say they will vote for him."
Don Lemon is saying that black men are aspiring to be like Trump, and that's probably about as big of a compliment as Donald Trump is ever going to get from liberals the rest of the election cycle.
What do you think about this story?
Are black people right to be supporting Trump? Or are they simply confused about who gave them government handouts for free as Lemon is claiming?
