Due to censorship, the complete article:
A former U.S. Navy Seal was so outraged by Don Lemon’s comments last week that he destroyed the CNN anchor in an open letter.
Ephraim Mattos took issue with Lemon calling white men terrorists based on the color of their skin, #IBOR

& if anyone has room to talk on this issue it is Mattos.
Mattos retired from the military in April 2017 but, rather than going home, he returned to Afghanistan with the Free Burma Rangers who help civilians caught in warzones, WITI-TV reported.

It was there that he was rescuing survivors on a street littered with 60 bodies. As part of his efforts he saved a young Iraqi girl. In doing so he was shot by Islamic State soldiers and the attack was caught on video.

“You see ISIS — they’re shooting civilians, little girls, in the back of the head as they’re running toward us,” he said of that rescue. “They’d shoot civilians because they knew we’d run out to get them.” #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

You see why hearing a stuffed shirt in a television studio calling white conservative men terrorists rubbed him the wrong way. In his open letter Mattos tore into the host and demanded he be fired. After surviving three wars, #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

a gunshot wound, a near fatal drowning, a failed parachute, Taliban ambushes, ISIS snipers, mortars, mine-fields, suicide bombers and laying down my life for the cause of freedom while fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with my brother Arabs, Asians, #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

Blacks, Hispanics, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Animists, and Atheists, I have now returned home to the USA where a CNN host has labeled me as a radicalized right wing terrorist simply because of my gender and the color of my skin. #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

I represent just one of the hundreds of thousands of conservative white men who have fought to preserve freedom in this great Nation and in other nations. My forefathers are the 3% who founded this Republic against the might of the British Army. #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

It was white Conservative men who died by the tens of thousands after charging into our southern states to free our black brothers from the slavery imposed on them by the Liberal left. We were the ones who acknowledged that women have a right to vote. #IBOR

We held the line in WWI and charged the beaches of Normandy in WWII. We have fought for freedom and liberty for generations and we continue to do so today alongside all of our brothers and sisters regardless of their race or religion. #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

In the early 1930s, Hitler said the same thing about the Jews that Don Lemon of CNN just said about white men. This is the true face of the Democratic Party. First they enslaved and killed blacks, and #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

now they use them to spew hatred and lies against the very people who have fought for generations to free them and uplift them.
Remember that when you go to vote.
One final thought: To make a point, I have referred to myself as a “white male” #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

in the previous sentences multiple times, but I must make it clear that I identify as simply “American,” not as “white” or “male” or “Republican.”Although blatantly racist and hateful, do not let Don Lemon’s ignorant words #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

drive you into viewing yourself only by your race and religion. Identity politics does not lead to freedom. It only leads to hatred and division and an “us vs. them” mentality. #IBOR #InternetBillOfRights

If CNN does not fire Don Lemon immediately, it only goes to show that they are truly the “enemy of the people.”
