CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday night moderated the Democrat debate that took place in Detroit, Michigan.
Tuesday night’s debate is the first of two Democrat debates to take place this week in Detroit.
Don Lemon bravely asked Senator Amy Klobuchar (MN) about President Trump’s “bigotry.” — of course he was referring to President Trump’s recent truthful tweets about the rat-infested city of Baltimore which is run by the corrupt House Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings.
Hard hitting journalism as usual.
Klobuchar was careful not to blatantly call Trump voters racist because she was trying to avoid a Hillaryesque “Basket of Deplorables” moment.
Klobuchar did however imply people who choose to vote for Trump in 2020 following his statements about Baltimore may be considered racist.
“What do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the president’s bigotry?” Lemon asked Klobuchar.
“There are people that voted for Donald Trump before that aren’t racists. They just wanted a better shake in the economy and so I would appeal to them. But I don’t think anyone can justify what this president is doing,” Klobuchar said.
