Why is Don Lemon calling out MAGA's Second Amendment hypocrisy in the Minnesota ICE shooting?
So, you know, the Republican Party is the party of the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment is sacrosanct. Remember that with the Republican Party, you're supposed to be able to carry your gun wherever you want, you know, concealed or whatever. You know, I don't have to tell you that. But things seem kind of different now. So I'm wondering, does the Republican Party actually believe in the Second Amendment, or is it just for them a lie that they can use to, or some sort of cudgel that they use against the left? Do they actually not believe in it only if it benefits them? I mean, I'm kind of answering my own question, but I mean, it's not a rhetorical question. I'm genuinely curious. Do they believe in the right to bear arms?
Because you guys remember Kyle Rittenhouse, right? Remember Kyle Rittenhouse? Kyle Rittenhouse. Had a gun, an AR-15 strapped to him. I think he purchased it to, reportedly, for this, to go to this protest. But Kyle Rittenhouse, anyways, the reporting is that Kyle Rittenhouse crossed state lines in August of 2020 with an AR-15, that he killed two people, and he claimed self-defense. And then MAGA- just kind of wrapped him in the flag and just, you know, oh my gosh, I just Kyle Rittenhouse and he should get off. And, you know, they turned him into a celebrity, a folk hero. They told us that the second amendment meant armed teenagers roaming the streets were patriots, but Clearly, something in the last five years has changed.
Something in the last five minutes has changed for them as it relates to what's happening, especially in Minnesota. Because when a former Boy Scout, an ICU nurse, Alex Pretty, when he was gunned down in the street like a dog by masked ice goons, they practically celebrated his murder. citing the fact that he had a legal registered concealed weapon as justification. So they're using the Second Amendment as because he had a gun, then he should be arrested for it. It doesn't make sense. The Second Amendment, according to MAGA 2025, is not a right. It is a political loyalty card. And if you don't believe me, let me show you some of the proof. This is none other than I'm going to show it. Megan Kelly on what happened to Alex Pretty.
And then we're going to show you her response of what happened when it was Kyle Rittenhouse. Clear hypocrisy. Watch.
I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretty, but I don't. I don't. Do you know why I wasn't shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations. It's very simple. If I felt strongly enough about something the government was doing that I would go out and protest, I would do it peacefully on the sidewalk without interfering via a whistle, via shouting, via my body, via any other way. I would make my objections known by standing there without interfering because interfering is where you go south. And laying hands on a police officer trying to or border patrol officer or ICE officer trying to conduct a law enforcement operation is a felony. And now you are going to get arrested.
And if you do anything, anything that resembles resisting, you're in serious trouble. forgive me for interrupting you um the kyle redhouse just fell to his knees in tears he's on his knees his lawyer's talking to him he's shaking It's upsetting to watch. You know, it's like, I feel like the media is just so awful, Andrew. They've been so disgusting from the beginning. And you can feel what this boy is feeling, this young man, his mother's in tears behind him. We forget people's humanity in the press. We just want to kill them. We want to go for the jugular. We want everyone to pay.
How does Don compare MAGA's response to Kyle Rittenhouse with the treatment of Alex Perretti?
And in this case, we wanted him to pay because he was a Trump supporter and he was a Second Amendment supporter and he wasn't on the side of the BLM rioters. Oh my God. And the media and the president and the governor put this kid through hell, through hell. And this is the only just verdict.
Oh my God. The media is so mean. Did you hear what she said about Alex Freddie? That she had no sympathy for him, that she didn't feel sorry for him, but she felt sorry for Kyle Rittenhouse?
