Don Lemon’s Interview with MLK’s Nephew Turns into Complete Trainwreck (Mediaite)

CNN’s Don Lemon seemed to get flustered on Monday night as he ended up going around in circles during an interview with Isaac Newton Farris about President Trump‘s racist tendencies.

It’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day today, and several of the civil rights icon’s relatives have weighed in on Trump’s remarks about how people from Africa come from “sh*thole countries.”

On one hand, King’s oldest son, Martin Luther King III, held multiple speaking engagements today where he said that the president’s comments were “extremely racist,” and his father would not have approved. On the other hand, Alveda King gave an interview on Fox & Friends where she insisted that Trump’s not racist because black people are benefiting from his administration.
