During his opening monologue on CNN Tonight Monday night, host Don Lemon slammed Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for her anti-Semitic comments but he could not resist the urge to call House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy a hypocrite because he had accused "Soros, Steyer, and Bloomberg" (three wealthy liberal Jews and Democratic donors) of trying to "BUY this election." Lemon also made sure to slam President Trump for "repeating the racist slur Pocahontas" when referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren.  Lemon proceeded to echo the analysis of several of his colleagues on CNN by pointing out that the President sent out a tweet "see you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!" According to Lemon, "Trail (was) in all caps which sounds, you know, a lot like not at all, that all, at all subtle reference to the brutal Trail of Tears, the forced migration of Native Americans from Mississippi to Oklahoma, a really shameful chapter in American history."
