"JIM ACOSTA: I'll say it right now. I mean, Trump likes to f*ck with Don because Don is Black! And we just need to say that too. Trump is racist and he's always attacked Don in racially loaded ways, calls him stupid and things like that. And it's disgraceful! It's disgusting!"
"MIKE FANONE: Yeah, I mean, the administration is racist. The entire administration, the MAGA agenda, their political agenda and their cultural agenda are racist. I mean, we've seen that play out in almost every aspect of this administration. So, yeah, I mean It just Pisses me the f*ck off."
"JIM ACOSTA: Yeah! And people need to stay pissed off right now because this country is not gonna change if you're complacent and you just hold back and you say, well, what can I do? Everybody needs to get pissed off. Everybody needs take to the streets. Everybody needs get online, get on social media, talk about how they support Don, how they're gonna stand up for Don."
"And this is not some social media thing where Don's doing this for clicks or any of that bullsh*t. Don went to Minneapolis to go cover the killing of an American citizen by ICE and was covering a protest and then the federal government said, oh, and then people said, Oh, here's a way to go after Don. We'll f*ck with them this way. They went in search of a technicality that they think is a viable legal case."
Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles over coverage of a protest at a St. Paul church. Jim Acosta devoted a special show segment to defending Lemon and accusing President Donald Trump of targeting Lemon because he is Black. Guests on the show called the administration and the MAGA agenda racist and expressed anger about the arrest. Acosta urged listeners to take to the streets, use social media, and publicly support Lemon. The show framed the arrest as a federal search for a legal technicality to punish Lemon for his coverage.
