Herschel Walker calls for CNN to take Don Lemon off air

Former NFL running back Herschel Walker characterized a recent CNN segment about Kanye West’s support of Donald Trump as “despicable” and said he wondered why anchor Don Lemon and commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer aren’t taken “off the air.”
A segment of “CNN Tonight” received sharp criticism Tuesday for remarks about the rapper’s support of the president that critics say are racist.
In the segment, Mr. Sellers said, “Kanye West is what happens when Negroes don’t read,” and Ms. Setmayer calling West “the token Negro” of the administration.
Mr. Lemon laughed throughout the comments. Mr. Sellers, Ms. Setmayer and Mr. Lemon are all black.
After the swift first round of criticism, Mr. Walker added his thoughts Thursday on Twitter:
Went to bed appalled over @donlemon despicable behavior laughing at @TaraSetmayer and @Bakari_Sellers awful remarks about Kanye West’s visit with @realDonaldTrump!! Woke up wondering why @CNN doesn’t take all three off the air?#SHAMEFUL#CNNLINK

NFL Great Hershel Walker Gets Bad News After Supporting Donald Trump
quote:
Former National Football League great Hershel Walker has gotten some bad news after openly supporting the presumptive Republican nominee, Donald Trump. However, he refuses to back down. Instead, he wants the world to know how unfairly he is being treated over his political views — even if it costs him more.
quote:
In an interview with TMZ, Walker explained that he won’t back down regardless of the backlash he’s been getting from the #NeverTrump group. According to Walker, he’s been blacklisted and is now losing out on paid speaking gigs because of his support for Trump.
quote:
Walker wishes to “make America great again” and refuses to pull his endorsement of The Donald. He thinks Trump is the best candidate to help the country, and he won’t change his mind because others can not handle his opinions, even if he loses more speaking gigs.
Herschel Walker is holding firm in his values, and as a man who has known greatness and has been a hero to many football fans, he’s giving some a chance to believe again. After enduring eight years of an Obama presidency and possibly facing four years with Hillary Clinton, Walker understands the dire situation the nation is currently in, and he won’t stop saying that Donald Trump is the answer.

Ironically, it's because they're CNN's Affirmative Action "token negros" (their words).

Wouldn't normally support the call for some idiots to lose their jobs over dumbass comments but it's probably warranted..., what goes round come round.

I watch Don Lemon to ground myself.
I consider myself fairly liberal. Certainly by this places standards. I watch Don Lemon to remind myself of what NOT to be or say as a lib. He should be on MSNBC not CNN.

You certainly wouldn’t have called a white entertainer who supported Trump a “house negro”. You save that for black people you disagree with.

I'll never understand that when an individual steps forward to have that "conversation" that we all hear about, he is then chastised and reviled for doing so, so why should I believe those doing the attacking when they say we need to listen to them? The problem is, they want to talk, they want us to listen and then they want to leave the room. Kinda makes me want to say frick'em and their definition of "conversation".
