The CNN anchor's comments have been condemned on the right, a fact Lemon noted during his Wednesday show.
“Earlier this week, I made some comments about that in a conversation with Chris [Cuomo],” Lemon said. “I said that the biggest terror threat in this country comes from radicals on the far right, primarily white men. That angered some people. But let’s put emotion aside and look at the cold hard facts. The evidence is overwhelming." -The Hill
Lemon cited statistics from the Government Accountability Office that since Sept. 11, 2001 there have been 106 people killed by right-wing extremists in 62 different attacks, while Islamic extremism has killed 119 people in 23 different attacks. The CNN host then cited another story which showed "that for every eight deadly attacks by right-wing extremists," only one had been committed by left-wing extremists.
"So people who were angered about what I said are missing the entire point," Lemon said. "We don’t need to worry about people who are thousands of miles away. The biggest threats are homegrown. The facts prove that."
On Tuesday, Lemon stated that "white men, most of them radicalized to the right" were the biggest terror threat.

Look at all the facts. He appears mad at whites, since he appears half white, bi-racial. He must be ignoring the shootings / killings in the US are mostly committed in the inner cities by BLACKS not whites. He leaves out the turmoil in the US is committed by the radical left. They call for disturbances to intimidate and try and force their desires of free money on the rest of us that work. They are instituting the new version of slavery, since they want the white population to work for them by giving their lazy a$$e$ what they call free money and free living expenses.

That may be what I said but it’s not what I meant....
Sure, that exonerates all those Chicago killings done by non-whites
What about the terror attacks on the back streets of Chicago? Seems to me there are more killings in Chicago than all the other attacks in the USA combined. (except 911)
Don is picking cherries here; or are they Lemons???
Chicago, Detroit, Dearborn, Baltimore...

Draw your own conclusions.
Never heard of this turd until a few days ago and already tired of his crap.
Since, Arabs are classified as whites and since most Arabs are Islamics and since Islamics have killed more Americans in terrorist attacks (9/11 alone) than ALL other terrorist attacks in the US in the last 50 years put together, then sure...there might be something to what he says...
as far as terrorist attacks go.
Terrorist attacks last year accounted for less than 2/10 percent of the murders in the US.
So here is how he cooks his statistics: leave out 99.8% of the murders, and include Islamic terrorists in with "white men", viola!
