CNN’s Don Lemon doubles down after saying white men are ‘the biggest terror threat in this country’

During a recent segment about a supermarket shooting in Kentucky, CNN host Don Lemon said that "the biggest terror threat in this country is white men."

Lemon was speaking on live television Monday about an incident in which a white man allegedly shot and killed two black people outside a Kroger grocery store in Jeffersontown, Ky., not far from Louisville.

The incident, which is being investigated as a hate crime, occurred during the same week that 13 potential explosive devices were sent to prominent Democratic and media figures across the country and 11 people were killed in a mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.
