Quote:CNN Tonight host Don Lemon showed off how bitter and heartless he could be during Wednesday’s handoff from PrimeTime host Chris Cuomo. The same day The Washington Post disgustingly mocked the death of a Virginia pastor due to the coronavirus, Lemon decided he needed to get his kicks in as well. According to Lemon, his death should be a “lesson” for those who believed “God is larger than this dreaded virus,” as the pastor said.

Shortly before to the handoff, Cuomo had interviewed Bishop Gerald Glenn’s daughter, Mar-Gerie Crawley to see what kind of man he was and to set the record straight on what he thought of the virus. Crawley explained that her father did take the virus seriously, enforced social distancing, and provided hand sanitizer to his parishioners. She also explained that because the information was changing so rapidly in the early days of the outbreak, things got confusing.

Those facts were thrown out since Lemon had his sights set on scolding the faithful.

Despite saying his heart went out to the Bishop’s family, Lemon needed to make sure his viewers knew he was dunking on a dead man and people of faith:

But let that be a lesson that you can have faith, but you also have to heed the warnings of the authorities and the people who -- and the experts. And so, I think that should be a lesson to people who are trying to gather, whether it's ten or more people in places that you shouldn't do it.

And God loves you. God wants you to praise him and glorify him and raise his name, but at this moment in our history, at this time, it's better if you do that at a distance, socially distant. And that means at home or whether it's streaming or whatever, that you shouldn't be doing it.

He reiterated that his “heart goes out to that family...but they should be a lesson to everybody out there who is trying to defy the authorities who are saying don't do it.”

Cuomo responded with a weak defense of the man whose daughter he just spoke too. He said he didn’t think the Bishop was a “floater” of warnings, but suggested, “there are too many who have had doubt with not good enough a reason all over this country, and it continues.”

He used that as a springboard to launch into a discussion about how he was “scared to death” by the idea Trump would direct portions of the country to reopen. “And you should be,” Lemon piled on.

“Because we do not have the testing capabilities down. We will not be safe in any of these places if we can't trace and treat and test. But when they say to wear a mask, people are going to get frustrated,” Cuomo added. “When they say wait in these lines, people are going to get frustrated and we're going to have problems until we learn to adjust to the new normal.”

It’s worth noting that CNN (Cuomo included) spent much of Tuesday pushing a doomsday scenario that said the country would be in some form of lockdown until 2022. So, would Lemon demand no church services for two years?

CNN is not in the business of doing the "right thing." They're a soap opera masquerading as a "news" channel. CNN and MSDNC hire the misfits and losers of American society to "pretend" to be "journalist" instead of what they actually are ... propagandist.

I hate it when media like CNN, MSNBC, Fox, etc take people's words out of context. I also do not like Don Lemon, and after listening to the entire clip, I don't think he was trying to be heartless/mean.

I hate CNN, but I'll be consistent.

99% of the time I think he's motivated by hatred of Trump/Conservatives/Republicans/Race etc, but I don't disagree with some of what he said there.

We have to be above those in the media and see through the BS, even when they're the ones BSing and gaslighting.

The problem is that somebody spread something false on the internet saying that blacks can not get this virus. A lot of black people fell for this including this pastor. It was the same thing back in the 1980s were they said blacks can't get aids. Don Lemon have been saying for years to people of his race to stop listening to these lies about blacks can't catch AIDs or other viruses. He have been asking these leaders including this black pastor that he have been correct all these years were all this could have been avoided?

Who the hell ever said blacks can't get COVID-19? You post some strange s hit man.

You have to read the whole article and admittedly as much as I dislike this joker he told it like it is. Christians don't have to attend services to get God, He's all around. If services are important to you watch them on the internet or TV.

You’d have to be on black twitter and Facebook to see the foolishness DavidSt. describes. My city tried to open a clinic on the black side of town in order to balance treatment options for COVID-19 but it was blocked because of ‘Tuskegee Experiment’ fears.

To me, the issue isn't that. It's that he said "Let that be a lesson..."

That's some heartless sh!t, regardless of the point.

Non Christians and haters have no idea what some Christians have gone through to gather and share their faith. This fool is one of them. This virus is nothing compared to imprisonment or execution. Be safe and observe good hygiene practices is all that is really needed here. This over reaction is becoming worse that the virus.

So tell me if groups of 10 are OK, how many people are you really with in 6ft of at a church? Myself I believe in God but not a big fan of churches, today. But I will be right there fighting for those of you that feel like you need to be there. It's a choice, just like its a choice to go in a store. Today most people dont really have to go in Walmart. They can order on line and go pick it up. Or pay to have someone to drop it off at your door.

Isnt that what most people are asking those that go to church to do? Watch it on line, on TV, any place but showing up to be with those that believe just as you do. If you go in Walmart to go shopping you will come in contact with as many people as you would at a church.

I doubt if the preacher s at the front door shaking everyone's hand as they enter. I doubt if most people that went to church this past Sunday stop to gather in groups and say hello or chit chat. I dont know for a fact but I bet most went in, found a seat, sit there and basically kept to themselves. So again how many people are you coming in contact if you went to church and did just that?

One or two sitting beside you were probably people you are around everyday...living with them. So the person sitting in front of you and on both sides of that person.

3

Do the same for behind you and that's

3

Lets say you came by yourself so 2 on each side of you

4

So going by that its a total of 10 people that you are with in that magic 6ft circle. If you go in Walmart and there for any period of time more than 10 people will enter that magic 6ft circle.

Why is it OK for groups of 10 to gather? Like I said church isnt for me but I believe everyone of us should have the right to make that choice. So if someone on here goes often tell me how many people will enter that magic 6ft circle if you are playing it as safe as you can?

Its these arbitrary rules that I have a problem with because a group of 10 active people can spread this as fast and farther than 100 people that will basically go to church and then home. We all read the list of factories or companies that are allowed to stay open. We all can point to a few that makes no since. The big one for me is alcohol makers...100s of people in one or more buildings.

arbitrary rules is a clear violation according to our Constitution. That's the problem I've having. Government making that choice and the people not being able to question them without due process.

The churches should be open, by all means. Hygiene or no hygiene. What's "funny" is if church is open the members have to go. No masks allowed, that would demonstrate a lack of faith.

Isn't this the guy that Trump once called the dumbest man on television? Also, isn't this Lemon guy a little light in his loafers?
