In a startling turn, former CNN anchor Don Lemon is calling on "black people, brown people of all stripes" to arm themselves legally against potential actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"Go out in your place where you live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen isn't that what the Second Amendment was written for?" Lemon declared during a video discussion.

He added, "Go back and read what the Second Amendment says and perhaps it will knock some sense in the heads of these people who are saying, 'well it's all great,' 'I don't believe they're doing it without due process,' 'they're asking people for papers they're not really beating people up.' These people are doing things that are illegal — nobody is illegal—it is illegal."
This plea comes as President Donald Trump's re-election has reignited fears of mass deportations, with ICE ramping up operations.
Lemon, the quintessential leftist elitist who once sneered at the very notion of Second Amendment rights, is now preaching the gospel of self-defense to non-whites.
Where was this sudden epiphany when he was cozying up to the gun-grabbing crowd?
Lemon, who spent years decrying the "culture of violence" associated with firearms, now finds himself championing the very amendment he likely once dismissed as a relic of white privilege.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Don Lemon. Lemon's about-face exposes the selective morality of the left, where principles bend to political expediency.
Welcome to the club, Don — though your membership card might just be revoked when the next gun control push comes around.
