Absolutely. The reality of their lives? Absolutely,” Lemon said on “Salon Talks.” “But I must accept reality, as my brothers and sisters who happen to be white must accept reality that the history of this country that they learned about, for the most part, are built on lies.” Watch the full episode with Don Lemon to hear more about why he also thinks Donald Trump was the president America deserve: https://www.salon.com/tv/video/9u6wth
