#BREAKING: @DonLemon addressing the now-viral Saturday @CNNTonight segment mocking and showing such venom toward Trump supporters. Not surprisingly, Lemon deflected: "I don't believe in belittling people....In the moment...I didn't catch everything that was said."
@donlemon @CNNTonight HERE is @DonLemon's full, 40-second statement because this was NOT an apology -> And one final note that I have for you because this is personally important to me to address this, okay? Anyone, ask anyone who knows me.....
...They’ll tell you I don't believe in belittling people — belittling anyone for who they are, what they believe, or where they're from. During an interview on Saturday night, one of my guests said something that made me laugh and while in the moment I found the joke humorous...
... and I didn't catch everything that was said. Just to make this perfectly clear, I was laughing at the joke and not at any group of people."
Video: @DonLemon just made things worse. During a Trump-bashing segment with @WashingtonPost's Carol Leonnig and Phillip Rucker about their book, Lemon said this about journalists -> “We’re not perfect. When we get it wrong, we say we got it wrong. We apologize and we move on.”
