Don Lemon Did Trump a Huge Favor

Katherine Timpf at National Review
“Just to make it perfectly clear,” he added. “I was laughing at the joke and not at any group of people.”

His performance in that segment is going to be a way bigger help to the incumbent president than anything that Trump could ever do for himself.


"A  video of CNN news anchor Don Lemon laughing hysterically as his guests mocked Donald Trump’s supporters went viral this week — and it couldn’t have been a more effective campaign ad for the president.
"In the video, which was clipped from a live broadcast that aired on Saturday night, Lemon can be seen crying tears of laughter, and at one point even slamming his head on his desk, because he’s apparently so overwhelmed with joy and amusement.
"It all started after one guest, ex-GOP strategist Rick Wilson, joked that Trump would be too stupid to find Ukraine on a map, before calling Trump’s supporters the “credulous boomer rube demo.”
"Lemon laughed heartily, and so Wilson continued his mocking:
“‘Donald Trump’s the smart one — and y’all elitists are dumb!’” Wilson said in a heavy, stereotypical southern accent." . . .
