You know, I love when Don Lemon gets it handed to him.
It does not happen often because Lemon rarely has people on his show that will push back.
He did this time, and he paid for it.
Know the Answer
There is an adage in the legal world that also holds true in journalism, at least to a degree.
You better know the answer when setting up a question to make a winning point.
Don Lemon was clearly not ready for the answer he received from royal commentator Hilary Fordwich on the royal family paying reparations.
Fordwich was all in on someone paying for reparations, only she wanted it to be the origins of slavery.
That, to anyone who actually paid attention to history, was African kings who were selling their own people.
When Fordwich dropped her knowledge bomb on Lemon, the look on his face was priceless…

And that, my friends, is how you shut that narrative right now.
Simple and accurate truth… and Lemon has no response.
