In his youth, Herschel Walker’s freakish athleticism allowed him to channel a quiet rage that allowed him to excel in football, bobsledding, sprinting and mixed martial arts. Walker, now 56, isn’t quite the athletic marvel that he was when he was in his 20s, but that doesn’t mean that fire in his belly is gone.
Unfortunately for Don Lemon, Walker is directing every last bit of his fire toward the CNN host after a controversial segment Tuesday on Kanye West’s visit to the White House. Lemon, along with political commentators Bakari Sellers and Tara Setmayer, sparked outrage with comments about West.
“Kanye West is what happens when Negroes don’t read,†Sellers said in the segment.
“He’s the token Negro of the Trump administration,†Setmayer added.
The segment followed along these lines, with Lemon only being able to snicker and laugh as he tacitly approved what was being said about West.
Unsurprisingly, those comments didn’t sit well with Walker. He excoriated the entire segment on social media and called for CNN to cut ties with Sellers, Setmayer and Lemon.
Went to bed appalled over @donlemon despicable behavior laughing at @TaraSetmayer and @Bakari_Sellers awful remarks about Kanye West’s visit with @realDonaldTrump!! Woke up wondering why @CNN doesn’t take all three off the air?#SHAMEFUL #CNN
