It&#8217;s hard to conceive of anything more disgraceful than an establishment supporter dismissing the real experiences of everyday Americans. In a video shared on the social media platform X on Saturday, former CNN personality Don Lemon, now hosting \u201cThe Don Lemon Show\u201d across various video platforms, embarrassed himself by defending President Joe Biden\u2019s economic record during a street interview in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The short clip featured Lemon asking random individuals about their preferences for the 2024 presidential election: \u201cHey Jersey\u2026 Trump or Harris?\u201d he posted alongside the video.<\/p>\n<p>Among the eight people interviewed in the clip, none expressed strong support for Vice President Kamala Harris. While some hesitated in their answers, five out of eight favored former President Donald Trump. One individual even praised Trump&#8217;s economic performance: \u201cFour years ago it was much better. I made significantly more money back then,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of trying to understand this man&#8217;s viewpoint, Lemon chose to argue with him: \u201cI know you feel that way, but that\u2019s not actually what the record shows,\u201d he claimed. \u201cThe economy is actually better under Biden.\u201d This prompted laughter from the interviewee who sarcastically asked if Lemon watched CNN.<\/p>\n<p>This exchange illustrates how many voters are becoming aware of and resistant to establishment media&#8217;s persistent gaslighting tactics. To his credit, Lemon did share this clip despite clearly disagreeing with those interviewed; Republican congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik from Maryland acknowledged his honesty in posting it and emphasized that such street-level inquiries are necessary at this time.<\/p>\n<p>However, many believe that Lemon deserves criticism for his comments. One user on X remarked about how foolish it is to assert that current economic conditions are better when people struggle to afford basic necessities or housing compared to four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Lemon&#8217;s response exemplified an elitist attitude that disregards people&#8217;s lived realities and insists they ignore what they see and hear around them. Similarly last week on X, Yale editor James Surowieki dismissed numerous accounts from individuals claiming grocery prices had surged under Biden&#8217;s administration\u2014demonstrating a troubling disconnect between establishment figures like Lemon and ordinary Americans whom they have misled over time<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2326948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/lol-6.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[38583,36966,38584],"class_list":["post-2326947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden-economy","tag-don-lemon","tag-man-on-the-street"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/lol-6.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2326947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2326948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2326947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2326947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2326947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
