At first I was surprised to see any form of condemnation or criticism from the MSM. But it's more like wishful thinking and hope and pushing for what they want. These 2 have been a few of the worst in all of broadcasting, IMO.

If they were TRULY interested in what is going on, they would mention that ALL folks and democrats need to stop ignoring, but they're only concerned about the one receiving votes.

CNN’s Lemon, Cuomo: Biden Needs to Stop Ignoring Riots — ‘This Is a Blind Spot for Democrats’

Tuesday on CNN, network anchors Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon said Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden needed to address the rioting in Wisconsin after a video of Kenosha resident Jacob Blake being shot by police made its way onto the internet.

Cuomo said, “You have COVID and Kenosha, Don, and what’s happening in Wisconsin, it’s a Rorschach test for where this country is, and I think it probably represents the biggest threat to the Democratic cause.”

Lemon said, “You took the words right out of my mouth.”

Cuomo said, “That’s because we’re reading from the same teleprompter.”

Lemon said, “That’s all you. This is where I come in. We’ll get to that. But when you said it’s too little too late, I don’t know about that. I mean, we still have a lot of time left until election day. I do think that this —what you said was happening in Kenosha is a Rorschach test for the entire country. I think this is a blind spot for Democrats. I think Democrats are hoping this will go away, and it’s not going to go away.”

He added, “I think maybe Joe Biden may be afraid to do it. I’m not sure. Maybe he won’t, maybe he is. He’s got to address it. He’s got to come out and talk about it. He’s got to do a speech like Barack Obama did about race. He’s got to come out and tell people that he’s going to deal with the issue of police reform in this country, and that’s what’s happening now is happening under Donald Trump’s watch. When he is the president, Kamala Harris is the vice president. Then they will take care of this problem. But guess what? The rioting has to stop. Chris, as you know, and I know it’s showing up in the polling, it’s showing up in focus groups. It is the only thing right now that is sticking.”

Yup, I knew there was an angle. They want Biden to condemn as they KNOW the underlying truth - but they want him to not only address it, but blame it all on Trump of course. :rolleyes:

Trump has condemned from day one and has tried his best to insert authorities to finally put things to a stop. But they stop that, stop the police, applaud the violence and then want to blame Trump.

Look at the bold, absolute horseshit.

Don Lemon Says It’s Time For Biden To Call Out The Riots And Blame Trump

CNN anchor Don Lemon said Wednesday that Democrats ignoring ongoing riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and elsewhere could impact the November election.

Speaking with fellow anchor Chris Cuomo following night two of the 2020 Republican National Convention, Lemon warned that the issue of rioting is one area where Republicans are out-messaging Democrats. He recommended that former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden address the issue.

“This is a blindspot for Democrats. I think Democrats are ignoring this problem or hoping it will go away. And it’s not going to go away,” Lemon said.

He continued: “ has to address it. He’s got to come out and talk about it. He’s got to do a speech like [former President] Barack Obama did about race. He’s got to come out and tell people that he is going to deal with the issue of police reform in this country.”

[B]Lemon also recommended that Biden tell Americans that the rioting is occurring on President Donald Trump’s watch. He said Biden needs to make clear that when he is president and Sen. Kamala Harris is vice president, they will stop the rioting.

“It’s showing up in the polling. It’s showing up in focus groups,” Lemon said of the rioting. “It is the only thing, right now, that is sticking.”

Riots began Sunday in Kenosha after Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot multiple times in the back by a police officer, according to video.

Riots and protests occurred nationwide following theMay 25 death of George Floyd, who died in Minneapolis police custody after an officer kneeled on his neck, video of the incident shows.
