‘Bullsh*t!’ Don Lemon Demands Democrats ‘Have the Balls’ to ‘Go After’ Republicans With Lawfare

Journalist Don Lemon demanded Democrats have the “balls” to go after Republicans if they regain power in Washington D.C.

Appearing Thursday on The Bakari Sellers Show, the former CNN anchor told Bakari Sellers voters want “someone who’s going to fight back, who’s not afraid of fighting back, who’s not afraid of getting in the arena.”

Lemon advocated tying the GOP “up in lawsuits” and for Dems to “stop being afraid” should they retake the White House in 2028:

Donald Trump, it it doesn’t have any of that, but he has a plan and he has an agenda. And I think whoever is going to run needs to be very clear that they’re going to hold people accountable, that they’re going to make sure that we go back to having some rights and then that they’re going to transform and evolve whatever rights that we have.

That they’re going to do what Democrats want, what progressives want, that they’re going to find a way to make sure that we have affordable healthcare. That we’re going to find a way to make sure that the tax that the rich people are taxed  fairly and they pay their fair share.

They’re going to make sure all of those things happen and they’re not going to get in there and say, “Well, you know, our priority isn’t going after Republicans and — bullsh*t!

Go after them, sue them, tie them up in lawsuits, make sure that they’re held accountable because if they’re not, they’re going to try it again.

So, make sure that we are no longer in a position where we have to worry about women’s rights being trampled on. That we have to worry about Black people’s rights being trampled on. That we worry about gay people’s rights being trampled on. That the lady who works as a secretary  is not paying more taxes percentage-wise than a billionaire.

And we we have to make sure that those things happen. And whoever is in there, and I mean it could be a woman, and I hope that it is a woman, a qualified woman I think would whip this country into shape. But to make sure I’m saying that metaphorically that they have the balls and they’re not going to be afraid and they’re not afraid to tell people what they’re going to do and then do it.

Because we have to stop being afraid. We have to stop being mealy-mouthed.

We have to stop saying, “Oh, oh my gosh, we got to play by the rules and we don’t want to offend this person and offend that person.”

I want my president to offend people, especially those people who believe in the wrong things, who don’t believe in democracy.

And I want Democrats to stop with the purity tests to stop alienating their allies and to get on board and to be in a place, to be the kind of people that realize that winning is it. That’s what we want right now. That’s what we need. Everything else is bullsh*t.
