British royals expert Hilary Fordwich stunned CNN anchor Don Lemon into silence with her argument that African slave owners owe "reparations" rather than the British Empire, in a viral clip from CNN’s coverage of the death of the queen. 

Conservatives on Twitter found the clip hilarious, as it depicted Lemon getting swift pushback for trying to promote the narrative that the British crown owes reparations for slavery. 

Observers noted Lemon meekly switching topics without protest after Fordwich’s unexpected response

The clip, which gained viral attention on Tuesday though it originally aired on CNN's Don Lemon Tonight around a week ago, began with the host telling Fordwich that "you have those who are asking for reparations for colonialism, and they’re wondering, you know, ‘$100 billion, $24 billion here and there, $500 million there.’"

Some people want to be paid back and members of the public are wondering, ‘Why are we suffering when you are, you have all this vast wealth?’ Those are legitimate concerns," Lemon stated.

Fordwich agreed that the desire for reparations is alive and well, though those who want it can look to African slavers. 

"Well I think you’re right about reparations in terms of – if people want it though, what they need to do is, you always need to go back to the beginning of the supply chain. Where was the beginning of the supply chain?" she asked.

"That was in Africa," she continued. "Across the entire world, when slavery was taking place, which was the first nation in the world that abolished slavery?" It was "the British," Fordwich declared, adding, "In Great Britain they abolished slavery. 2,000 naval men died on the high seas trying to stop slavery. Why? Because the African kings were rounding up their own people. They had them [in] cages, waiting in the beaches."

She concluded, "I think you’re totally right. If reparations need to be paid, we need to go right back to the beginning of that supply chain and say, ‘Who was rounding up their own people and having them handcuffed in cages. Absolutely, that’s where they should start."

After her answer, Lemon provided no pushback. He simply nodded, mentioned it’s "an interesting discussion" and moved to the next segment. As Twitter users pointed out, his silence was remarkable considering the anchor is one of the media’s most partisan personalities. 

"HOLY MOLY DON LEMON WAS *NOT* READY FOR THIS," wrote National Pulse editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam.

"Dilbert" comics creator Scott Adams mocked Lemon’s unenthused facial expressions after hearing Fordwich’s historical lesson. 

"His face at the end is the payoff," Adams remarked. 

Independent journalist Tim Pool tweeted, "Lol at Don lemons face hearing this s---."

Conservative personality Former Republican congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik tweeted, "Don Lemon was NOT ready."

Conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey wrote, "Ok this is amazing. Don Lemon brings up the need for slave reparations from the royal family. His guest says, yes, people should be demanding reparations… from the African leaders who sold them into slavery."

"This is so spectacularly perfect that it’s almost as if Lemon was set up," remarked author and podcaster Dave Rubin. 

Conservative commentator Jason Howerton quipped, "Sure sex is great, but have you seen the look on @donlemon's face after getting utterly REKT on-air on slavery reparations?"

"And NOW you know why Don Lemon was demoted. He's just not a very smart man. Way to go @donlemon," wrote radio host Joe Pagliarulo. 

CPAC chair Matt Schlapp asked, "And how about reparations to those who fought alongside former slaves to abolish American slavery? According [to] Lemon’s logic Democrats would need to pay reparations to Republicans. Kinda like it."

Which women would you accept as your first female president from the republican party? I so wanna see that!

I can't think of any person that I would just vote for without hearing their plans for presidency but even though I don't think this will ever happen I like Kimberly Klacik and I would be interested to hear more from her.

Failed GOP Candidate Ordered to Pay $115,000 to Candace Owens

Jason Davis Former GOP congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik’s defamation lawsuit against right-wing provocateur Candace Owens, who accused Klacik of being a strip club “madame” who spent campaign funds on cocaine, has been tossed out by a Tennessee judge with prejudice. Not only is Klacik unable to file similar complaints against Owens going forward, but the judge also granted the right-wing…

First Avenue Cancels Dave Chappelle’s Show

Unfortunately, Dave Chappelle did not perform at First Avenue last night.  Hours before he was supposed to perform, the venue decided to cancel.  They received backlash from Chappelle’s comments regarding the LGBTQ+ community.  First Avenue was urged to cancel his show by the community and its allies.  The prominent venue was sold-out for the Maryland comedian.  The venue is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is known for being featured in “Purple Rain”, Prince’s 1984 movie. First Avenue Statement First Avenue made a statement and posted it on Instagram.  Instead of performing at the First Avenue venue, Chappelle’s show was moved to the Varsity Theater.  Varsity Theater is about 25 minutes from First Avenue and fans were able to transfer their tickets to the venue.   Many people took to Twitter to either praise or attack the venue for their decision.  Celebrities in support of Dave took to Twitter to ridicule First Avenue.  Tyler Carditis and Tony Gervino, for example, mocked First Avenue’s beliefs.  Both Tyler and Tony pointed out that they are not as accepting of diversity and freedom of speech as they claim.  Seth Dillon and Kimberly Klacik have also expressed their confusion on why the show was canceled. https://twitter.com/firstavenue/status/1549866287572160512?s=21&t=726Xdppfujrr_UwHu8aGnw LGBTQ+ vs. Chappelle Other Twitter users were in support of First Avenue.  One user pointed out that all of First Avenue’s staff did not want Chappelle to be there and it wasn’t because of the public.  The staff sent emails regarding their disapproval of Dave Chappelle being booked at their place of work to management, but they were ignored.  There are people amongst the staff that identify with the LGBTQ+ community whether they work security, serve refreshments, or take tickets.  Spencer Gosewisch identifies as a trans woman and has been working at the venue for over 6 months now. “They Read the full article

Baltimore GOP candidate whose campaign ad stunned the internet joins Ingrahm (Fox News)

Wow *heart eyes* vote this woman into office immediately. Also may have a crush on her...

“That’s not true. Excuse me — excuse me,” Behar pushed back . “The black community had my back. They know that that was not blackface. That was an homage. Oh, please.” Klacik argued that the black community had her back as well, but Hostin interrupted.

“The black community did not vote for you. The black community did not vote for you. What planet are you living on?” Hostin raised her voice.

“Sunny, can I speak?” Klacik pointed out that the special election had taken place when Maryland was still locked down due to the pandemic.

“Wow,” Hostin stretched the word out in a sarcastic tone, spinning in her chair. “Wow.”

“Can I speak, or are you just going to scream over me?” Klacik asked as Behar and Hostin continued to shout her down.

“Listen, Kim, good luck to you,” Behar gave up and called for a wrap. “Thanks to Kim Klacik. We’ll be right back.”

“That was very immature, but thank you for having me,” Klacik replied as the segment ended.
