CNN host Don Lemon’s Wednesday night interview with a Ku Klux Klan leader was intended to get the white supremacist’s take on the viral video of frat members at the University of Oklahoma singing a racist chant.
But the interview quickly devolved as the KKK leader lobbed racial and anti-Semitic remarks at Lemon.
James Moore, the Imperial Kludd of the Loyal White Knights, argued that it was a “double standard” to allow black fraternities on college campuses while all other fraternities must be integrated.
Lemon pointed out that white people are allowed to join black fraternities and reminded Moore that the reason black fraternities exist is because there was a period in history when blacks were not allowed to join those organizations.
Moore later started quoting Bible verses to argue that the white race should remain separate from other races and took a shot at Lemon’s biracial heritage.
“You yourself are mixed, so, we’ll see what happens with you,” Moore said.
The interview then continued to go off the rails as Moore railed against Jewish people who he said control the government, the media and the entertainment industry.
“You don’t want to hear it,” Moore said to Lemon. While the audio on the Skype call wasn’t entirely clear, Moore appeared to add “you’re part of the Jews yourself.”
