CNN anchor Don Lemon has found what he considers to be the true hidden message in the growing Justin Trudeau blackface scandal – that President Trump is a bad man.
Orange man bad, as they say.
Trudeau was featured in a 2001 photo from a Time magazine report dressed in brownface makeup for an “Arabian Nights” party held at the private school in which he taught.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
He was yammeringly apologetic about the whole affair. “I shouldn’t have done that. I should have known better, but I didn’t and I’m really sorry,” he said. “I take responsibility for my decision to do that. … It was something that I didn’t think was racist at the time but now I recognize that it was something racist to do and I’m deeply sorry.” (RELATED: President Trump Hammers ‘Dumb’ Don Lemon For Biased Debate Question)
Prime minister of Canada Justin Trudeau wore blackface at 2001 costume party. He'll say he's sorry, & liberals will forget it ever happened.
Just like they did with Ralph Northam, Jimmy Kimmel, Howard Stern, & Robert Downey Jr.

To nobody’s surprise, Lemon praised Trudeau for his apology. But he didn’t stop there. Instead he went on to observe, “Wow, a leader apologizing. It seems odd, doesn’t it? Because we have one who doesn’t.”
The CNN anchor resumed his fawning over Trudeau at end of the segment. “I do have to say this before we go: Think about it however you want to think about it. When someone apologizes — wow!” he gushed. “We don’t often see that here, especially in a world leader who is saying ‘I should’ve known better and I’m sorry.’ You can feel about it however you want, but that, to me, that does mean a lot.”
This is high comedy. Not only was Lemon willing to let a politician off the hook for what is arguably a high crime these days purely on the basis of his ideology, but he used the occasion to take a shot at Trump over a scandal he had absolutely nothing to do with!

Again, no amount of apology from a Republican would ever suffice in Lemon’s world. But liberals who do this – perfectly OK. That’s why you can have a Ralph Northam or Justin Trudeau blackface scandal and both men can emerge unscathed.
The double standard is sickening.
