During their infamous delivery, CNN Tonight host Don Lemon claimed during Tuesday’s installment that “Nobody ever talks about CPAC“And suggested it was just a”creation” and “obsession“The media. But Prime Time host Chris” Fredo “Cuomo took things to a dark place after signing up, claiming CPAC attendees were a”Coven“imagine”evil” and “magical“”Ways to kill their opponents. ”Cuomo even advocated domestic espionage operations.
After the duo beat up Texas and Republican Governor Greg Abbott for reopening the Lone Star State, Cuomo compared the situation negatively to CPAC. “We just saw this weekend in this circle of all these evil ideas about what is going on in society,” he said.
Lemon was inspired by his friend and assumed that no one he knew, and supposedly no one, spoke important things about CPAC:
I’ve been here for 14, 15 years, so a long time on CNN. And not once, and I’ve been reporting on international news for over a decade, here on CNN, for two decades. Who knows.
I’ve never heard anyone in my personal life, Democrat or Republican, on the street say, “Oh my god, I have to – the CPAC. I can’t wait to hear the speeches at CPAC. CPAC – “Nobody ever talks about CPAC, But every single media station covers CPAC and it’s the extreme of the extreme.
Most of the sane Republicans I know don’t go to the CPAC conference, they don’t even pay attention to the CPAC conference. I think it’s just a creation and a media obsession with the CPAC conference.
“Nobody gives a crapHe exclaimed, effectively revealing how ideologically limited his elite social circles were.
“I wish you were right. It’s the pregame show on that show on this site. They have no left equivalent. I don’t mean disrespect for the various grassroots organizations and issues, ”Cuomo complained in response.
Cuomo built on his own, claiming without evidence that CPAC was a gathering of people planning to kill Democrats. “It was a circle, they talked about Qanon conspiracies and all these lies and magical considerations about how to kill their opponents“He scoffed.
“My point has worked“Lemon bloated. He finally remembered it his proposal for 2018 that the “greatest threat of terrorism” is white men who have been “right-wing radicalized”. Of course, he decided to use his own horn: “And man, I got it.”
Recalling the interview he had just had with serial liar Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) during his show, Cuomo pleaded for the federal government to start spying on Americans, especially people on the right:
You know I had Adam Schiff tonight and he had a bill in 2019 that his party didn’t like either. I get people wanting to start thinking about what kind of intel operations. The CIA is not supposed to operate here. What are you doing with americans? I get it. But when you know they are trying to kill us in an organized way. The balance has to shift. And now it’s just politics, Don.
“I’ve never seen each other in a more precarious place,” said Cuomo.
This is CNN.

DON LEMON: Why lift the restrictions now? Chris. When we finally make progress. The vaccine is finally starting to get into enough arms for things to turn slowly, but it’s way too soon. Why now? The only reason I can see what happened in Texas is that someone dropped the ball and tried to change the conversation. That’s it, a distraction. That’s how I feel.
CHRIS CUOMO: Well it’s good, you asked the question, you answered it, are we done?
LEMON: I mean for you!
CUOMO: He needed a win. He needed a win. And this is part of that prevailing macho sentimentality that strong and wrong is the way to go. You know? We’re going 100 percent baby, right into the rocks.

CUOMO: You’re trying to play. We just saw this weekend in this circle of all these evil ideas about what is going on in society.
LEMON: Can I say something Chris, let me say something about that.
CUOMO: Yes please.
LEMON: I’ve been here for 14, 15 years, so I’ve been with CNN for a long time. And not once, and I’ve been reporting on international news for over a decade, here on CNN, for two decades. Who knows.

LEMON: You remember when I called it what it was a few years ago. And everyone came after me as I talked about domestic terrorism and right-wing and white terrorists. And man, I got it.
CUOMO: I see you know I had Adam Schiff tonight and he had a bill in 2019 that his party didn’t like either. I get people wanting to start thinking about what kind of intel operations. The CIA is not supposed to operate here. What are you doing with americans? I get it. But when you know they are trying to kill us in an organized way. The balance has to shift.
