Throughout 2020, and especially during the wave of Black Lives Matter riots which brought multiple American cities to their knees, CNN’s Don Lemon was on the journalistic front lines, offering justification and apologies for the racially-motivated violence spreading across the country.

Okay? That is not a lie. Those are facts.”
