CNN’s Don Lemon says he wasn’t shocked to see President Trump congratulate Nick Bosa on being the #2 pick in the draft — while ignoring Kyler Murray — in part because Bosa is white and Murray is black.
Lemon was leaving the CNN building after his show Monday night when we asked about Trump’s congratulatory tweet to Bosa … who had been very vocal about his support for #45.
“Bosa is a supporter of Trump,” Lemon said … “[Bosa] doesn’t like Kaepernick. It’s everything this President is about.”
Lemon added, “I think we should be congratulating the #1 person [Kyler Murray] as the #1 person made history.”
Of course, Murray became the first person to be selected in the first round of the NFL and the MLB draft … an amazing accomplishment.
“Don’t forget the #1 person [Murray] is also black,” Lemon added.
As for Bosa, he had previously called Kaepernick a “clown” on social media — but later deleted the tweet.
When pressed about Kaepernick at his first press conference with the San Francisco 49ers, Bosa backtracked … saying the name-calling was a bad decision.
Bosa also said he “respects what [Kaepernick] has done” and apologized for the initial tweet.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has never backed down on his position regarding Kaepernick — firmly saying any NFL player who doesn’t stand for the national anthem should be fired.
