Don Lemon is an uber hack, but you already knew that. But he really had a meltdown when actor Terry Crews called out Black Lives Matter for their violence, especially against other African Americans. This is the typical left wing tactic. Disagree with them, they will smear you, then cut you off if your doing something like a TV interview. Alternate opinions are not allowed.

Lemon then scolded Crews, telling him the movement isn’t about Black-on-Black crime.
“The Black Lives Matter movement was started because it was talking about police brutality, if you want an all Black Lives Matter movement that talks about gun violence in communities, including Black communities, then start that movement,” Lemon told the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star.
“That’s not what Black Lives Matter is about. It’s not an all-encompassing… if someone started a movement that said ‘cancer matter,’ and then someone came and said, ‘Why aren’t you talking about HIV?’ It’s not the same thing, we’re talking about cancer” Lemon continued.
“So the Black Lives Matter movement is about police brutality and injustice in that manner, not about what’s happening in black neighborhoods. There are people who are working on that issue and if you want to start that issue, why don’t you start it?”
Lemon then asked, “Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“When you look at the organization, police brutality is not the only thing they’re talking about,” Crews said.
“I agree but that’s not what the Black Lives Matter movement is about, Terry, Black Lives Matter is about police brutality and about criminal justice,” Lemon insisted. “It’s not about what happens in communities when it comes to crime. People who live near each other, Black people, kill each other. Same as Whites… it happens in every, single neighborhood.”
As Crews tried to respond, the CNN host quickly cut him off and said the segment was over.
