After U.S. Attorney Erica MacDonald held a press conference on the killing of George Floyd by police, CNN’s Don Lemon blasted President Trump and MacDonald for speaking about the president’s involvement in the case.

During the Thursday press conference, MacDonald said the investigation into George Floyd’s death is ongoing and did not announce any charges against the four Minneapolis police officers involved. But according to Mediaite, the attorney general did say: “President Trump, as well as Attorney General William Barr, are directly and actively monitoring the investigation in this case.”

But Lemon was having none of it and blasted MacDonald for naming the president during the press conference and quickly rattled off some of Trump’s previous racist statements and opinions about former president Barack Obama, the Central Park Five and the white supremacist protest in Charlottesville.

“No one wants to hear from the man who wanted the death penalty to come back for the Central Park Five,” Lemon said. “No one wants to hear from the man who says that the former president was not born in this country. No one wants to hear from the man who said there are ‘very fine people on both sides.’ Do you understand what I am saying?”

3. Don Lemon

Is completely accurate. He’s being too polite, but he has to as it’s his job and doesn’t have the freedom we do to talk about our national disgrace.

14. Welcome to DU, musclecar6.

I'm glad he spoke up! Only problem with what Don Lemon said was that it took so long to say it. For ANYONE to say it, in public, on the record, on a mainstream media camera and mic.

13. Amen

Who the fuck cares?

Let Donald sit on his peeling gold painted toilet pretending to be in command of the entire situation without invoking his name to make him feel like he's king of the world. I hope he's constipated ... really, really bad.
