Don Lemon refused to back down from remarks earlier this week in which he accused “white men” of being the biggest terrorist threat America faces.
In a Ben Shapiro-esque monologue on his CNN program Wednesday evening, Lemon dropped what he called “the cold hard facts” and urged those upset to look at the evidence without “emotion.”
“Tonight I want to talk about some uncomfortable truth, the truth about who really carries out domestic terror attacks in this country,” said Lemon. “Let’s put emotion aside and look at the cold hard facts. The evidence is overwhelming.”
“A recent report from the Government Accountability Office shows that even though more people died in attacks connected to Islamic extremists, the vast majority of deadly attacks in this country from 2001 to 2016 were carried out by far-right violent extremists,” he continued.
