CNN’s Don Lemon Defends US Flag Burning Antifa Terrorists: They’re Fighting Fascism (VIDEO)

Very fake news CNN’s Don Lemon defended American flag burning masked members of Antifa on Tuesday after President Trump called out violence from the alt-left. Lemon claimed Antifa activists are just fighting fascism. 

A friendly reminder: Antifa activists actually admit they are seeking to overthrow democracy and American civil society. We shouldn’t be surprised that CNN and Don Lemon defend these terrorists.

“I’m saddened, Wolf. Sitting here, thinking as we were about to go on the air, ‘what am I going to say to Wolf Blitzer? What am I going to say to my colleagues, to the country and the world who is watching?’ This is a sad moment for the country. I think it was an awful moment for the person who’s supposed to represent the highest office of the land. I mean, there today you saw the real Donald Trump proving all of his critics right in that moment,” Don Lemon said.

“Everyone was sitting there watching, saying ‘here we go, his true colors are coming out.’ To equate a group that is a protest group, two protests groups. Yes, they are both protest groups and they are talking about Antifa calling them the alt-left. Well that group protests fascism so they were there protesting fascism. Maybe their tactics weren’t exactly right. All groups like that, political groups, rights groups, protest groups…It is messy, but there is a difference between the two groups,” Don Lemon continued.

“One is a Nazi, white supremacist group. What they want to do in their hearts is extinguish people that look like me and you, Wolf, Jewish people, black people, even women. They don’t think we are equal. The other is a protest group, protesting a political and racist movement. I am not saying that that group, all of their tactics are right. They were there protesting hate in America.”

So Don Lemon believes members of society who destroy property, assault police officers, violently attack Trump supporters and burn American flags while waving the Soviet flag are ‘protesting hate in America’.

A violent Antifa protester was also arrested for slashing a police horse in the face.

Trump official Mike Caputo said Antifa threatened to burn down his house and kill his wife and children.

Don Lemon proudly defended this hate and violence because it is towards Trump supporters.
