A former US Navy SEAL called out CNN as a true “enemy of the people” if the network does not fire Don Lemon for his “blatantly racist and hateful” words.
Ephraim Mattos countered Lemon’s controversial remarks last week that “the biggest terror threat in this country is white men” with a scathing, fact-filled rebuke.
A true hero, Mattos not only fought against the Taliban and ISIS but volunteered to go back and help civilians in those war zones after he was done, getting shot by Islamic State militants in 2017 while doing so.
In a blistering statement, Mattos slammed Lemon while defending the “white conservative men” who have defended freedom and fought for this nation.
After surviving three wars, a gunshot wound, a near fatal drowning, a failed parachute, Taliban ambushes, ISIS snipers, mortars, mine-fields, suicide bombers and laying down my life for the cause of freedom while fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with my brother Arabs, Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Animists, and Atheists, I have now returned home to the USA where a CNN host has labeled me as a radicalized right wing terrorist simply because of my gender and the color of my skin,” Mattos wrote.
