CNN anchor Don Lemon, carrying the rancor he feels toward President Trump into the Democratic presidential debate Wednesday night, asked a question of a candidate in which he accused the president of issuing “racist tweets.” Lemon turned to former HUD secretary Julian Castro, intoning, “Secretary Castro, after the president’s racist tweets attacking Baltimore and Congressman Elijah Cummings, the mayor of Baltimore slammed the tweets and said to the president — and I quote here — ‘Help us. Send the resources that we need to rebuild America.’ So what would you do for Baltimore and other cities that need help?”
Lemon calling Trump a racist is nothing new, of course, but to inject his view into the debate as the moderator was definitely a new direction for a presidential debate moderator.
