CNN ridiculed for accusing Trump of bullying ‘dumbest man on television’ Don Lemon

FOX: CNN has accused President Trump of bullying Don Lemon in a tweet that called the polarizing anchor the “dumbest man on television.”

Trump slammed The New York Times on Monday morning over what he called a “false” story claiming he watches up to eight hours of television a day – while taking yet another swipe at CNN and MSNBC. The Times article detailed Trump’s “hour-by-hour battle for self-preservation,” describing how he sometimes “hate-watches” CNN’s Lemon.

“Another false story, this time in the Failing @nytimes, that I watch 4-8 hours of television a day – Wrong! Also, I seldom, if ever, watch CNN or MSNBC, both of which I consider Fake News. I never watch Don Lemon, who I once called the “dumbest man on television!” Bad Reporting,” Trump tweeted on Monday morning.

CNN quickly issued a statement, accusing Trump of bullying the 51-year-old anchor.

“In a world where bullies torment kids on social media to devastating effect on a regular basis with insults and name calling, it is sad to see our president engaging in the very same behavior himself. Leaders should lead by example,” CNN said.

Former CNN political analyst Jeff Greenfield isn’t a fan of CNN’s statement and mocked his old network.

“Unless Don Lemon is a LOT younger than he appears to be, this is a tone-deaf overreach. From what I’ve seen, Lemon–unlike bullied kids whose school officials ignore the issue–is more than capable of standing up for himself. This almost infantilizes him,” he tweeted.

Fox News contributor Stephen Miller joked, “CNN just compared themselves to a crying kid in a car and they think that’s the high road.”

  1. Repeated shots of Fake News appears to be an orchestrated attempt by the media to falsely attack the President.

    If the President calls them out, which he should, he is accused of bullying. The media has the air time to whine all they want to the special snowflakes who still listen to them.

    The fake news will not cease, nor should the President. The media is showing itself as it is, a propaganda arm of the socialist/progressives.

  3. I don’t know how stating fact about someone over picking on them because they have a certain look about them is bullying. DJT never said; “Look at him, this Don Lemon character, have you seen how ugly he is?” DJT did say; “Don Lemon is the worst reporter, because he spreads fake news.”

    Big difference, but nice try. Working to spin public opinion of your network by comparing it to adolescent kids, IS FAKE NEWS!

  6. Would CNN be satisfied if Trump had called Lemon the ‘least informed and educated man on TV’? Maybe something along the lines of ‘educationally and mentally challenged’?
    Because $10 words are more special than $1 words.

  12. Barry was the one who gave his NCAA basketball picks for 8 years in a row…. how much sports TV do you have to watch to do that — More Liberal-Lefty projection !

    They are so dumb and transparent — their brains literally have nothing in them !
