If this woman had majored in criminology rather than African-American studies, maybe she would have learned that.

Maybe not.

They're going to treat me like Hannibal Lecter and they won't even serve me fava beans with a nice glass of Chianti.

I think she's very upset by the quality of the food.

I see this as a recurring theme.

The point that she's making about the protests, or that Jamil Hill's making about the protests, we have to correct the language here.

What occurred in that church is not a protest.

Even before you had reminded me that Don Lemon's being charged under the Ku Klux Klan Act, the comparison with the Klan is apt, because you should ask these people,

Would you consider a lynching or even just a milder cross burning to be a protest?

In a way, it's a kind of a protest.

It's a gathering of people who are angry about something, who want some of their grievances redressed.

That's true.

And so in that way, it's similar to the mob that showed up to the church.

But it's obviously not a protest because protests are constitutionally protected acts.

And what those people are doing is a criminal act.

And so just as you don't get to host the lynching or the cross burning and claim it as a constitutionally protected protest or an act of journalism if someone's filming it or something, the same holds true of the church.

What happened in that church was many things and it violated multiple laws.

What it emphatically was not is a protest.

He doesn't, no.

I'm hearing it for the first time.
