Don Lemon and Ex-Trump Staffer Clash Over Trumps Dinner With White Supremacist: Dont Put Words in My Mouth
.... Lemon spoke to Len Khodorkovsky on Monday morning over the fallout from Trump having dinner last week with Kanye West and prominent white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Khodorkovsky, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the Trump administration who is Jewish, began the conversation by remarking about his descendence from Holocaust survivors to say, I can tell an anti-semite when I hear one. And I tell you with confidence that President Trump is not an anti-semite. ....
... As Khodorkovsky wished that Trump hadnt met with West or Fuentes, he then tried to deflect from criticism of the former president by going after alleged anti-semitism from progressive members of Congress.
Theyre not the president of the United States. Hes the former president of the United States, Lemon countered. This is not whataboutism. He met with an anti-semite. So can we stick to the former president and not do whataboutism? We can talk about those other people when there are issues, but there arent issues right now. ....
The clash continued as Lemon maintained the focus on Trump while Khodorkovsky kept trying to deflect to anti-semitism from other people. Khodorkovsky grew increasingly agitated as Lemon called out his whataboutism and his refusal to break off from the current news about an ex-president hosting anti-semites at his house. ....

Gosh, seems like every syllable has to be defended, like whack-a-mole. Uh, the general connotation

White supremacist, white nationalist. The word is racist, why dress it up. They're proud of it

"Embarrased by his Mexican heritage" from Post 11 - good definition of "self-hating."

It just goes to show that Trump's narcissism overrides all else, even his profound racism.

And billionaire cartel honchos, too, like his history with Russian mob oligarchs.

Yup. Mary Trump's book "Too Much and Never Enough" lays out explicitly how this jerk ended up

I'm seriously getting major Clayton Bigsby vibes from Kanye hanging out with that POS.

Mexican is not an ethnicity. It is a nationality. It hs nothing to do with genes.
