CNN's premier racist and now that Cuomo is gone, resident dope:
Stretch! Don Lemon Tries to Blame Right-Wingers for Surge in Traffic Deaths

On both Thursday and Friday night, CNN host Don Lemon was oblivious to the role that the media-supported anti-police movement has played in increasing both the number of homicides and the number of traffic deaths as he aired segments blaming other factors -- like guns and the pandemic -- for the tragic turn toward more deaths.
On Thursday's Don Lemon Tonight, the show ran a segment on the increase in people dying from car crashes in the past couple of years, which Lemon tried to link to an increase in "uncivil" behavior by the kind of right-wingers who have protested at school board meetings or refused to wear masks in public places. The CNN host set up the segment:
8,680 deaths on U.S. roads last year -- the most fatalities since 2007. And that's even with pandemic precautions drastically reducing the numbers of drivers on the road. So what gives? Well, some experts are saying that this is due to an overall lack of civility in our society -- a lack of civility we have seen at school board meetings. .. Over mask mandates. ... And on airplanes.
Lemon used several clips of incidents that have previously been hyped by the media in which people who were right-leaning got into arguments over not wanting to wear masks, or confronted liberal school boards. His guest, Pam Shadel of the Governors Highway Safety Association, argued that people were driving more recklessly because of pandemic-related stress or because there has been more empty space on the roads, as she also tied in increases in "uncivil" behavior.
But this is not the first time an unexpected increase in traffic deaths has occurred with similar timing. Back in 2016, even the Washington Post observed that, after the police-involved death of Mike Brown in 2014, there was a surge in traffic deaths at about the same time that there was an increase in the number of murders, widely called the Ferguson effect.
