CNN host Don Lemon said Sen. Ted Cruz, by becoming a public official, had “signed up for” harassment by antifa activists and likened attacking lawmakers in any and every public space to the civil rights movement.

In a segment late Tuesday evening with fellow CNN host Chris Cuomo, who joined Cruz opponent Rep. Beto O’Rourke in decrying the attack on Mr. Cruz and wife Heidi at a D.C. restaurant, Mr. Lemon said the activists from Smash Racism DC had no choice.

Mr. Lemon explained that the Texas senator backs confirming Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh and supports policies that are “detrimental to people.”

“As a person of color I know that especially during the civil rights movement — and now — sometimes Mr. Lemon explained that the Texas senator backs confirming Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh and supports policies that are “detrimental to people.”

“As a person of color I know that especially during the civil rights movement — and now — sometimes the only agency you have is to protest and to get in someone’s face,” he said.

“You don’t have any power when it comes to government and in society,” Mr. Lemon continued. “I don’t like it, but it is one reason I’m not a public official, that I’m not running for office. In a way, I think it goes with the territory. I don’t like that they were blocking his wife, but that’s what he signed up for.” he said.

What a load of crap from a smart-assed, left wing bloviator! NOW is the time for calling for CNN journalists and commentators to be derided, harassed and threatened whenever they are spotted in restaurants, malls or anywhere else. When Lemonhead whines about it, tell him, "It goes with the territory."

Just what policies does Cruz support that are "detrimental to people?" No, wait, let me guess: insisting that people work for a living instead of being dependent on government? Being taught to practice keeping their legs to together to avoid abortions and venereal disease?
