Liberal Hack Don Lemon Goes to Baltimore to Try to Find People Who Will Blame Trump’s Crime Crackdown—Let’s Just Say Nobody Expected Answers Like These (Video)
You gotta love it when a plan backfires in the most spectacular way. Former CNN talking head Don Lemon hit the streets of Baltimore, probably thinking he’d score some easy points by getting folks to rant against the federal crackdown on crime that’s been rolling out in D.C. Instead, he got schooled by everyday residents who are sick to death of the violence plaguing their neighborhoods and begging for the same tough-love approach to hit their city next. The raw footage from these man-on-the-street chats is gold—people opening up about murders, drugs, and zero accountability for crooks, all while giving a big thumbs-up to deploying the National Guard.
One clip that’s making the rounds shows an older woman, a lifelong Marylander, sharing her gut-wrenching story: her husband gunned down in a botched carjacking right outside their home two years ago. The killer? Still out there, no justice served. “Our mayor did nothing,” she tells Lemon, her voice steady but full of pain. When he asks if she’d welcome troops on the streets, she doesn’t hesitate: “Yes.” It’s heartbreaking stuff, and it drives home how desperate things have gotten in places where liberal soft-on-crime policies have let chaos reign.
Then there’s this energetic guy who lays it out even plainer: “It’s getting out of hand, man! All these killings all the time! The murder rate’s going higher and higher and all the drugs!” He practically begs for federal help to “straighten everything out” and caps it off with a rallying cry: “Make Baltimore great again!” You can see Lemon trying to keep a straight face, but the message is crystal clear—folks are fed up and ready for real change.
Even a man on his way to Friday prayers at a local mosque chimes in, calling the crime “atrocious” and the idea of National Guard troops “a breath of fresh air.” He’s all for cleaning up the crime-ridden spots, no ifs or buts. These aren’t cherry-picked soundbites; Lemon’s out there in a rough neighborhood, and the responses keep coming back positive. It’s a far cry from the fear-mongering you hear from some quarters about “militarizing” cities.

This all ties back to the success story unfolding in Washington, D.C., where the feds took over the local police and brought in the Guard. Remember how D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Dem, fought it tooth and nail at first? Well, she’s singing a different tune now, admitting carjackings plummeted 87% since the surge kicked in. Over a thousand arrests later, and the streets are safer—proof that when you back the blue and crack down hard, results follow.
Lemon’s little adventure highlights what’s really going on: average Americans in hard-hit areas aren’t buying the narrative that tough enforcement is the enemy. They’re the ones living with the fallout from years of failed experiments in leniency, and they’re ready for leadership that puts safety first. It’s the kind of no-BS approach that resonates because it works, cutting through the politics to deliver real relief. If you haven’t seen the videos yet, they’re all over X and Instagram—raw, unfiltered, and eye-opening. Moments like these show why shaking up the status quo is exactly what places like Baltimore need to turn things around.

I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
