“I think Democrats are ignoring this problem, are hoping that it will go away. And it’s not going to go away.” That was CNN anchor Don Lemon, speaking to colleague Chris Cuomo on Tuesday night, on the Republican National Convention, five days after the Democrats had adjourned their convention sine die (as they used to say) during which they ignored “this problem” for four straight nights.

What was “this problem?” “Guess what, the rioting has to stop,” Lemon went on. “Chris, as you and I know, it’s showing up in the polls, it’s showing up in focus groups. It’s the only thing right now that’s sticking.”
