CNN anchors Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon ranted at length Tuesday night about white people, “Christian privilege” and Donald Trump supporters.
Declaring that “America has a problem with race,” Cuomo and Lemon blasted critics of Marxist critical race theory as supposedly being frightened by a “boogeyman” and accused President Trump of “scaring white people” for his political advantage, because “scaring white people works.”
The two claimed poor white people are being “pitted against” people of color by rich white people and being played for a “sucker.”
“They’re playing for a sucker,” Cuomo said of lower-class white people. “They’re playing for a sucker,” Lemon agreed. “You are the mark to the con that is going on.”
The two hosts also singled out Christians. “If you are a Christian, there is a privilege in the society because we prioritize Christianity.”
“So, this whole idea about there is no privilege in society for white people. That’s bulls***. There is a privilege,” said Lemon. “If you are a Christian, there is a privilege in the society because we prioritize Christianity even though we’re supposed to be a country that believes in freedom of religion. … But yet, what do we do? We demonize Muslims. We demonize Islam. We demonize anybody who is pretty much not a Christian or even if you don’t believe in religion.”
“They,” the hosts said of white Trump supporters, are afraid of “kooky lefty and crazy blacks burning down their neighborhoods.” “Their” fear is the “fear is the inevitable no matter how much they fight it,” and “that this is not going to be the same society where the same people have a preeminent voice.”
