34. Don Lemon didn't do a very good job of countering Trump

Jul 2015

Obviously Trump was referring to the men who accompany women across the border. Don Lemon sounded dumb in pretending not to understand. Instead, Don Lemon should have armed himself with statistics and facts. I think that's too much to ask of a TV "journalist" these days, however. The article in Fusion states that 80% of women crossing Mexico to get to the U.S. are dealing with criminal gangs, human traffickers, coyotes and other no-goods. The article doesn't state that it's the typical Mexican male immigrant who rapes all these women but it's the traffickers, who often ask for sex in exchange for getting across. These criminals are not representative of male migrants who enter the U.S. The ones doing most of the raping and abuse stay on the other side of the border, as parasites on the poor people who want to cross. If Don Lemon had not embarrassed himself by being totally unprepared to interview the Trump creep it might have been good TV for a change
