CNN’s Don Lemon vs. Vivek Ramaswamy: You’re Doing a Disservice by Refusing to Recognize the Fact That Black Americans Have Equality Under the Law

CNN

2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy angered “CNN This Morning” host Don Lemon on Wednesday morning by arguing that Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” reforms did more harm than good to Black Americans. The conversation devolved into a debate about the Civil War and ended with the two men stating that they are each proud of their racial origin.

Don Lemon quipped that he is insulted by the conversation: “And you’re sitting here, whatever ethnicity you are, explaining to me what it’s like to be black in America.”
