Don Lemon: False Equivalency To Compare Marjorie Taylor Greene to Ilhan Omar

EXCERPT:

LEMON: "Hmm. Look, I — remember that happened with Ilhan Omar, Republicans were outraged, she had to apologize? Marjorie Taylor Greene has not apologized. Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed executing Democrats. Executing them. None of those Democrats have ever said anything remotely like that. So what happened to judging people on their own merits? Huh? Whataboutism. Stop the whataboutism. Know what, when I mentioned to Chris just moments ago about there are firebrands in both parties, no one is talking about stripping Mo Brooks of his committees or Matt Gaetz. Why are you bringing up Maxine Waters? It’s because you don’t want to focus on your own mess. You don’t want to clean up your own house. Literally. An existential crisis of your own making. This whataboutism is just a lie and it’s not deserving of the American people’s attention. The American people deserve better right now. We’re in the middle of a pandemic. People are dying. The economy is in the tank. But whataboutism. Is that really what you want to do? It’s dangerous. It was just one month ago a mob, incited by the former president’s lies, attacked the Capitol. This is a time when the QTrumplican Party needs to stands up for the truth.”
