CNN’s Don Lemon gave a Republican presidential hopeful a shocking reason why he cannot disagree about the experience of Black Americans.
Entrepreneur and 2024 Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was confronted over his comments at an NRA conference when he spoke about gun laws after the Civil War.
Lemon suggested on Wednesday the presidential hopeful was insisting the Civil War was fought so Black people could have guns.
Ramaswamy responded, “That war was fought for Black people to have freedoms in this country. That’s why the Civil War was fought.”
He added, “Actually, you wanna know a funny fact is Black people did not get to enjoy the other freedoms until their Second Amendment rights were secured.
However, Lemon insisted, “Black people still aren’t allowed to enjoy the freedoms…”
“I disagree with you,” Ramaswamy responded, adding, “I disagree with you on that. I think you’re doing a disservice to our country by failing to recognize that we have equality under the law.”
Lemon shot back with a draw-dropping assertion as he said, “When you are in Black skin and you live in this country, then you can disagree with me. But we’re not.”
Ramaswamy insisted, “I think we have to be able to talk about these issues and be open regardless of the color of our skin. Black Americans today… to compare that to 1865 and 1964 absolutely have equal rights in this country.”
