Don Lemon: Not Media's Job to Sell Agenda, 'Democrats Get Your Butts In Gear! You Are Weak

By -

 


 CNN host Don Lemon flipped out on Democrats Wednesday, slamming his fist on his desk as he ranted that they weren't doing enough to sell their agenda to the American people and rescue democracy.


During the handoff between their respective shows, Lemon and fellow left-wing host Chris Cuomo agreed that Democrats had a messaging problem when it came to communicating their agenda, but Lemon took it a step further, becoming agitated as he called Democrats "weak" and accused them of not being passionate enough about "saving" America. 


"Democrats get your butts in gear and get passionate about saving this damn country! You’re not doing it. You’re weak. You are weak. You are weak," Lemon said as he beat his hand on his desk.


Lemon claimed the massive Democrat-backed multi-trillion dollar social spending package included items that Americans wanted but weren't being advocated for in the right way.


"If you get someone in a ruby red state or rural state to understand that … then it’s a win for you," Lemon said. "Republicans … are going around the country and they are winning with a lie. They’re able to get people on their side with a total lie and Democrats can’t get people motivated with the truth that will help them."


"So what is going on with you? Why are you so bad at politicking? Why are you so bad at politics, Democrats?" Lemon added. "When you have the winning message, when you have the Senate and you have the Congress and you have the White House and you can’t win with a winning message, something is wrong."


"And it’s not that the Republicans are doing this and that. They’re better at the messaging than you are! That’s what it is! It’s not the Republicans’ fault, it’s your fault. You have yourself to blame, Democrats. Get it together," he said. 


Cuomo agreed Democrats needed to "up their game," but also argued they appeared weak because they weren't organized within their own ranks. He added that some sort of spending bill would eventually get passed, but that the win wouldn't be as impressive because of how Democrats handled the process.

Lemon claimed it was necessary for Democrats to win on getting the spending bill passed because democracy was on the line. He implored them to do whatever it took to get their message across, including having President Joe Biden use the "bully pulpit" to change the narrative over the spending bill.


"When you say I’m going to have a press conference, I’m inviting the media to do this, I’m going to actually go into the press room with Jen Psaki and I'm going to show up there sometimes and surprise people and guess what? I’m going to pull the nation in with my narrative," Lemon said as he became increasingly frustrated. "I’m going to tell them what is in the bill. I’m going to tell them what I’m selling that is going to help them … I’m not just going to sit back and expect the news media to do it for me because it’s not our job to sell the narrative … It’s not our job to sell your agenda for you."


"The only reason that I’m so enthusiastic about this is because our democracy is on the line and I don’t want America to lose its democracy. I don’t want America to be a country of minority rule and I don’t want America to be a place where Black and Brown people like me, whose ancestors fought and died for the right to vote, are restricted from going to the voting booth," he added.

NBC Washington Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor and former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade join Andrea Mitchell to discuss key challenges facing the January 6 Committee ahead of their primetime hearings this week: getting a "distracted nation" to pay attention and understand what's at stake. “I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here, as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we're all living in, benefiting from, possibly being brought to his knees, is whether or not they can make people care,” says Alcindor. “The American public has been groomed to expect high value quick entertainment,” says McQuade. "I think putting together a polished show can be very important."

 NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.
