CNN’s Don Lemon Backtracks on Trump Supporter Mockery — ‘I Was Laughing at the Joke and Not at Any Group of People’

Even though the joke was aimed at a group of people.

According to Lemon, he was not laughing at Trump supporters. Instead, he said he was laughing at the joke told by Wilson and insisted that he does not laugh at people for “who they are” or “for what they believe.”

“One final note that I have for you because this is personally important to me to address this,” Lemon said. Anyone, ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you, I don’t believe in belittling people. Belittling anyone for who they are, for 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.”

You can watch him lie at Breitbart.

  1. Speaking of dick, Dick…

    “Dustin Hice, a bartender in the Hamptons who was off work, said in court documents obtained by Mediaite that Lemon approached him after Hice had previously offered to buy him a drink, and “vigorously rubbed his [Lemon’s] genitalia, removed his hand and shoved his index and middle fingers in Plaintiff’s moustache and under Plaintiff’s nose”….Lemon then allegedly asked Hice, “Do you like p—- or dick?” before Hice left the bar.”

  2. Him “laughing at the joke” is humorous to him because of what he thinks about a group of people. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been funny.

    On camera when it happened you had a muzzie, a queer black, and a pedophile. A trifecta you can not criticize for anything, otherwise you’re a *-phobe.

  3. I’m an African American faggot, you know, protected class. I’m beyond reproach, you deplorable hayseed crackers. Be sure to tune in tomorrow when I explain how brilliant I am.

  4. The pushback on CNN and Lemon must have been pretty massive for him to come out with an apology. Nobody will believe it and this will follow him around like a bad smell for quite some time.

  5. So by his logic it’s ok to laugh at a joke about gays or blacks as long as you are laughing at the joke and not the people. Glad he gave us the clarity.
    It’s a shame I don’t know any good jokes about gay blacks. Maybe Dave Chappelle can provide.

  6. “he does not laugh at people for “who they are” or “for what they believe.””

    Except if they’re Christian, white, male, heterosexual, and working.

  7. @Sapper Chris
    A gay black dude walks into a bar, shoves his hand down his pants, sticks his finger under the nose of the guy at the bar and says, “do you like pussy or dick.” ….
    The guy looks at him and says………I’ll see you in court.
    Hahahahahahaha
    Tough crowd tonight.

  8. Does this mean I can start telling ethnic jokes in public again? I mean as long as it is a joke about a person and not a group I should be okay. I’ll start with 3 unidentifably ethnic people walk into a bar.
