"And what is it, when they say a hit dog will holler? And that's why I say Megyn Kelly and Glenn Greenwald, they don't wanna talk about political violence because if they did, they would have to face the truth of as much of what we talked about today. The greatest threat of political violence in America today is White men radicalized to the right. That is. But they never want to have that conversation. Instead, they change the subject,"
"they redirect, they take a question about insurrections, mass shootings and terrorism, and they turn it into a debate about what? About crime overall. Because you have to deflect it somewhere. I mean, you can't, you gotta keep your base. You gotta fire them up. You can't tell them the truth. Which is, I mean, so indicative of what happens with MAGA right now. And why? So that they can recycle the same old racist talking points that Black men are the real problem."
Don Lemon asked, "White men, are you okay?" during commentary, prompting Megyn Kelly and Glenn Greenwald to criticize the remark. Kelly noted Lemon's husband is a White man as part of her response. Lemon responded on his podcast with an extended rant, accusing Kelly and Greenwald of avoiding conversations about political violence and asserting that the greatest threat comes from White men radicalized to the right. Lemon argued critics deflect discussions of insurrections, mass shootings and terrorism into general crime debates to energize their base, accused MAGA of recycling racist pivots blaming Black men, and dismissed claims that he is irrelevant.
