Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!

Update to this story.

Via LA Times:

President Trump faced renewed accusations of racism Saturday after mocking the intelligence of Lakers superstar LeBron James and broadcaster Don Lemon of CNN.

Trump took to Twitter late Friday night to bash Lemon after his interview on Monday with James and ended up slandering the celebrity athlete as well. In the interview, James reiterated his criticism of the president as racially insensitive.

Trump’s criticism of the intelligence of James and Lemon, who are both black, comes after he has repeatedly referred to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles), one of the most prominent African American members of Congress and a vocal Trump critic, as being “an extraordinarily low IQ person.” The president’s attack on Waters has become a staple of his political rallies, as it was Saturday night in Lewis Center, in central Ohio north of Columbus, where he called her “a seriously low IQ person” to the usual cheers. […]

Many other critics directly or indirectly accused Trump of racism.

Max Boot, a foreign policy analyst at the Council of Foreign Relations, tweeted that he was “sure it’s just a coincidence that Trump thinks African-Americans are dumb.”

Journalist Dan Rather was more direct, calling Trump’s tweet “racist.”
