   Amid another violent night of protests across dozens of American   
   cities to demonstrate against the death of George Floyd, CNN   
   anchor Don Lemon used his on-air time Saturday evening to   
   condemn the behaviors of some of his “Hollywood” friends. During   
   a live conversation with Rev. William Barber, Lemon revealed   
   that many of these famous pals have privately messaged him over   
   the past few days to praise his coverage, but refused to offer   
   any help or outreach despite their massive platforms. “Yes, I’m   
   calling you out, and you can be mad at me all you want. And what   
   they’re doing, you’re sitting there and watching television and   
   you’re bitching about it,” Lemon said without listing specific   
   names, according to THR. “Get on television or do something and   
   help these young people instead of sitting in your mansions and   
   doing nothing. And have some moral courage and stop worrying   
   about your reputation and your brand.”   
      
   Lemon said that when he asked certain friends to appear on his   
   CNN show to discuss protests or politics, the general response   
   he received was the following: “I don’t want people to see me   
   mad, it might hurt my business, I’m so upset I have to go to my   
   country house.” He added, as a final word of frustration to   
   celebrities, “If you’re not going to do it now, when are you   
   going to do it? Stop making excuses.” Outside of Lemon’s friend   
   orbit, many prominent faces have indeed been using their   
   platforms to encourage political change. These include Billie   
   Eilish, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift. Numerous others also joined   
   nationwide protests on May 29 and 30.   
      
   The usual pieces of left wing shit.
