CNN’s Don Lemon: Marcus Bachmann ‘Elbowed Me Into A Golf Cart’

video
» 344 comments

The strangest story of the Ames Straw Poll seems to have happened long before the poll itself. CNN anchor Don Lemon reported on a “very disturbing” incident with Rep. Michele Bachmann, who he claimed had his security, and even husband Marcus, push and shove him into a golf cart. While the cameraman got lost in the crowd, the audio certainly depicts an agitated Lemon asking seemingly harmless questions like “where do you think you’ll end up in the straw poll?”

Lemon noted that Rep. Bachmann was supposed to give a speech, as many other candidates were, at 5, but “showed up at 5:30, talked for five minutes” and left. Lemon and his team followed, but found themselves in a troublesome situation:

I asked her very respectful questions about her performance last night, where does she think she’s going to end up in the Straw Poll. And her two campaign aides… started elbowing me and pushed me through the crowd and her husband Marcus did the same thing– even pushed me, elbowed me into a golf cart where I hit my head and it caused people to spill things.

According to the CNN report, Rep. Bachmann’s press secretary said “it was just too crowded,” and that they were only looking out for the Congresswoman’s safety. It also notes that Marcus Bachmann apparently told Lemon “you did it yourself” when he protested to being tossed into a golf cart. “I don’t know why this happened,” Lemon noted, “it was an embarrassing display on their part.”

CNN also released the raw footage, where it does appear to be a large crowd and, while the cameraman isn’t able to fully capture the action, Lemon can be heard protesting, concerned for his safety.

Lemon’s report and the raw footage of the incident via CNN below:

  • Mstooge

    This clown lemon is such a little sissy-mary and I don’t believe you can be packed into a crowd like that and not get touch, and that’s all he is complaining about, being touched. He showed zero evidence to back up his accusations, which reminds me of the black Congressman saying his was spat on by Tea Party people but all the video showed none of that happening.

  • Cyclopticxander

    I know you think that was clever and all, and it’s structured like a real point, but you should at least make the two elements connect.

    I get that you think he “flaunts his queerness” and that it was a civil crowd of normal Americans. Great. How though would he no longer be paranoid about a normal crowd by ceasing to flaunt his queerness? Even rhetorically what is the connection between the one thing and the other?  The “maybe ___, then ___” sentence structure has to logically flow from the two points in order for the sentence to make sense even as a joke.

    It sounds like you just wanted to say those two things but got a little too cute with it.

    The video itself shows that Lennon is a liar. It does not show him being elbowed, only a very dense crowd. Reporters like Lennon of CNN and Brian Ross of ABC may ask questions of a candidate. But they cannont demand an answer and invade the physical space of the candidate.
    If the Team Obama media jackals like Lennon want to be embarrassed, they can keep up this desperate campaign of slander against Bachmann.  The ad hominem attacks against Bachmann by the media jackals have boomeranged against the Left and hugely helped Bachmann.

    What do you mean? There are gay people that can be all those things… Don Lemon isn’t though and I don’t understand how all the conservatives here are suddenly experts on his personality from one news broadcast.. it’s just more blind hatred. I, personally, forgot he was gay… but then of course all the Tea Partiers/conservatives bring it up.

    It’s like when someone comes out against Obama.. the first thing I read from conservatives is them sarcastically calling that person a “racist”. It says a lot that the first thing conservatives do is either make a comment on the person’s race/religion/sexual orientation. Democrats rarely bring that sort of thing up because their party doesn’t have an insane conservative backbone.

    Democrats would rather debate issues based on merits.

    Speaking of golf carts , maybe Lemon can chase Obama around on his for the next couple of weeks .
    Even a lefty columnist at the WP thinks Obama should tone down the personal taxpayer paid extravagance . His vacation will cost taxpayers one million dollars .

    “… to be leaving town to spend 10 days luxuriating in an affluent, New England summer town when millions of Americans can’t find work? To fly off to the Vineyard when the public is losing faith in Washington’s ability to fix the nation’s economic problems, and with people anxious about their futures?
    What is he thinking? It’s not as if the Obama family is living in deprivation in Washington.

    Without leaving the White House grounds, they have access to five full-time chefs, a tennis court, a bowling alley, a swimming pool, a jogging trail, a putting green and a movie theater that shows first-run films on demand. That’s hardly roughing it.
    And if the president ever feels the need to get away, let’s say to seek a little solitude and tranquility beyond the confines of hot and humid Washington, the American taxpayers have thoughtfully provided a secluded
    country residence for the first family’s exclusive use in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountain Park. It’s called Camp David. A hardship post it is not.
    Camp David comes equipped with 24-hour guard service, including fighter jets, to keep gawkers and riff-raff out of sight. For presidential enjoyment, Camp David’s wooded mountaintop has a swimming pool, a sauna, tennis courts, a bowling alley, a trout stream and movie facilities, again with first-run features on demand.
    Plus there are guest cottages should the Obamas wish to have a few friends over.
    And, of course, highly trained chefs are also on hand to provide top-quality meals.
    Ah, but that seems to be not enough when stacked against Cape Cod.
    A Post poll this week showed confidence in Obama to make the right decisions for the country’s economic future is down 10 points, to 33 percent, since January. His vacation decision making ranks right down there, too.
    This is not the way a president should be spending his time. Not when, for the first time in U.S. history, the country’s credit rating has been downgraded; when so many families are barely scraping by, many not knowing where the next mortgage or rent payment is coming from.

    other candidates were, at 5, but “showed up at 5:30, talked for five

    Didn’t have much choice since one of the right-wing attack nuts on here kept hacking into my Facebook account and left it wide open so anyone could access it as me.  They were even posting here as me and stole a real picture of me that they used.  Had to go about changing emails and passwords and names and everything to prevent it from continuing.  Now they have a flag button so I can alert the moderators here if someone steals my identity again.  I’m fairly confident you wouldn’t want someone doing that to you.  Or would it be okay as long as it was being done to a librul?  TIA :)

    i am totally against violent scuffles – but after seeing this I am appalled that Don Lemon had the nerve to report that story. Are you frickin kidding me? Is he serious? The two women kept saying *stop pushing*, and the crowds were totally out of control, as far as security was concerned. They could barely get MB through. Like they even knew who he was during that mess. 

    “something very disturbing happened” – what a tool. seriously.clearly this was a massively embarrassing report on Don Lemon’s part.

    I agree that this was a pretty clownish complaint from Lemon, but it’s also a tactic that has been polished to perfection by Fox – You’ve seen this from O’Reilly’s stalker producer whenever he’s asked to leave private property, Griff Jenkins has done it, and the Fox reporter in Wisconsin tried this angle too.   So spare the lame “liberals” attempt.

    This is what happens when you send a political/gay activist out to cover a political event. They make the whole story about themselves while trying to stage an event to portray their targets in a bad light, using the media as a tool for their activism.

    Yeah, right, schmuck.  That “poor woman” in Kentucky was a paid political activist with a criminal record who had already shoved a sign in Rand Paul’s face not 30 seconds before, then, wearing a disguising wig, was evading security and rushing at the candidate.  This is your “victim.”  She was sent by MoveOn to cause a ruckus for a roll out of their new “republicorp” advertising campaign.  And know-nothing partisan hacks like you turn a blind eye to the subordinated violence against politicians such “tactics” enable.

    What I see is that opponents of the Tea Party will say or do anything to drive up their negatives.  Such as try to gin up Don Lemon’s BS whining over being in a crush of people into a story.  Such as spout memes with no backing.  Little do you realize that the American people in this country are of fair mind, and see through your tactics and lies.

  • rjudge

    Please tell me how CNN is a commie network.  Please give examples.

    And, your reference to ObamAA+ obviously refers to S&P’s downgrade of our debt rating.  One major reason they gave for doing so is that Congress can’t get their act together and compromise on something.  S&P, while not in the business of telling us how to solve our debt problem, mentioned several times in their report the issue of raising tax revenues.  In interviews, their execs have made mention of the same thing.  Some 70% to 80% of Americans say they are in favor of raising by a few points the taxes on the wealthiest amongst us.

    It’s the teabaggers, like Michele Bachmann, who are responsible in large part for our downgrade.

    Soak the rich, huh, liberal retard? “Just how many of these rich people are there, and, are there enough of them for a tax increase to really make a dent for the US trillions of dollars
    in debt.  President Obama has defined the nation’s wealthy as those who make $200,000 or more.  According to a recent report from the IRS, that leaves out about 97% of the taxpaying population.”  Well, shazam!  So they’re accurate here: 3% is who we’re talking about.  “A report which provides a complete breakdown and analysis from returns from the 2009 tax year found that only a mere 3% of tax returns were filed by people earning a gross adjusted income of 200 grand or more.  Americans earning $1 million or more were even more rare, pricing just two-tenths of 1% of the population, of tax filers, accounting for a mere 236,000 of the 140 million tax returns received in 2009.”  So the number of millionaires filing taxes — uh, people that earn more than a million dollars, 236,000, compared to 140 million tax returns received in 2009.  “The wealthiest taxpayers, those earning $10 million or more in adjusted gross income are even less prevalent.  There were only 8,274 people belonging to that elite club, according to the IRS.”  CNN gets it right here.  They’re a week behind, but they got it right.  “Yet, even though these high income earners are a minority, Obama says the proposed tax increases would boost revenues by $750 billion over a decade, not quite the multitrillion-dollar figure the US needs to pay off the deficit, but for many of those who responded to the CNN/ORC International Poll, it’s evidently a good enough start.”  So the class envy works.  At least CNN got the number right: Taxes on the rich would impact just 3%.  Now, what they are trying to say is, “Go ahead and do it!  My God, only gonna affect 3%? Soak ‘em!”  Let them have it.

    Oh my effing god. Seriously? I cannot decide which is more absurd, Lemon’s fabrications or Mediaite repeating them. The video reveals that the meany security that manhandled poor widdle Don Lemon were, in fact, two young blond women, who appeared to be more jostled than Lemon. We can plainly see with our own eyes that Don’s whining is in response to simply being in large crowd. It’s right there on the video-he’s being moved along with the crowd, certainly by no fault of the two young Bachman women. And Don’s whining! Seriously, had Don actually been physically affronted, are you telling me that camera man wouldn’t have been following hot behind instead of just standing like a potted plant? This is a CNN cameraman, for god’s sake. 

    Had they believed their anchor was being mistreated, they’d have been all over it. But, no, even when the crowd clearly thins out, the cameraman doesn’t budge. All we hear is more of Don’s exaggerated, let’s be honest–lies. We heard him whine when we clearly see him NOT being bothered by the Bachman camp. Yo, Don, human beings have elbows and if smashed together in a large tight crowd, you are going to feel them-much different than someone intentionally whacking you with them. 

    I call complete BS on Don’s hyperventilating hissy fit. HE’S the one that should be embarrassed.

    of the criticism is pretty vile and is illustrated by the comments made
    to this thread. I don’t agree with some of the unfair things said here,
    but Lemon brought that on himself.

  • Young, Black & Gifted, Esq.

    The comments that come out of people’s mouths are awful, vile and completely disgusting!!! The same folks who claim to be devout Christians!!! That’s why the Republican Party and the people who follow them cant pull the wool over anyone’s eyes any longer! I can promise you none of that bs will work next year and certainly not over the longer term! This is a metaphor for how Republicans live and breathe! They push their way through society obnoxiously with a misplaced idea that somehow they are the ones “entitled” and anyone of “the other” type can either get whats left or make their own way, no matter how unequal that playing field is left because of unfettered rape of the system in the first place. In their minds, they are the “true Americans”. Words are important! Listen at them! Please, America! Listen at the words that come out of their mouths! These people have reached a point where anything comes out. To a degree, that’s a good thing. They’re telling you just what they believe and think about the rest of us-that folks on unemployment assistance are there because they want to be; that folks who are on welfare are there because they dont understand what it means to lift themselves up by their own bootstraps and fin for themselves. Somehow, these people have come to believe that load of crap as reality, not to mention the persistent state of denial they reside in, against ALL scientific and reasonable evidence to the contrary! This shoot from the hip, conquer and divide, anti-intellectual, style over substance mentality is destroying this country! Don’t believe me! READ WHY S&P DOWNGRADED US! Sooner or later, when we’ve all had enough and no one(EXCEPT FOR THE WEALTHY AND WELL CONNECTED)has anything left but their names, then will we rise up and demand that this great nation be governed through true compromise and by true leaders who have the country and her people’s best interest at heart! The crazy thing about all this is DEMOCRATS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE MODERATES! ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE PARTY IS TRULY “LIBERAL”, AND HELL, MOST OF THE POSITIONS THAT THE SO-CALLED, “AMERICAN LIBERAL” TAKES ARE OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT COMES TO ECONOMICS. 

    The bible says in Proverbs 14:28, the heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the tongue of the wicked pours forth evil. My faith is not a prop in my life on a campaign to attain power! It is real and every single day God gives me breath in my body, my aim is to live it as best I can. The sooner Republicans understand that LIVING FAITH is not JUST words, but DEEDS, THE QUICKER THEY WILL SEE THAT THEIR WORDS AND DEEDS DONT LINE UP WITH THOSE OF THE CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! 

    God bless Don(an excellent JOURNALIST!!!) and all the folks who are without a job, living on the street, starving and continuing to live under a system that can’t even function at the most basic level-not because the system is broken, but because the moral fiber(LOVE, RESPECT & DECENCY) that holds us together as Americans, even when we fervently disagree, is broken!

    Lemon just proved he is not (obviously) a man because men don’t whine when jostled by a crowd or two FEMALE attendants to a candidate.

    Folks like Bachmann feel they have the right to mistreat anyone for their cause. As to the posters here, is is apparent the they wish they’d been there to poke some reporter in the eye for doing his job. By doing his job, he was unable to shove back–which is what Bachmann and her entourage needs.

    Unfortunately, had he done so, Bachmann would have played the victim–right-wingers, especially “Christians,” are born victims, and are victimized more and more as they ascend the political ladder. Look at Bachmann, who made money off the government for years and called for stimulus money for her congressional district while decrying the evils of government spending, and Palin, who hates the press whilejumping in front of cameras wherever she goes.

    You need to be a people person to
    be President of the USA not a profit monger who stores money.

    Business men produce and sell widgets and other products. Governments are
    in charge of real people and their livelihoods. People can’t be treated like
    products and widgets and other products. We need a people president like Obama.

    Many business men trying to become President believe and have stated, a person
    who wishes to become President of the United States should have previously run
    some kind of a business, I believe the complete opposite is true and here is
    why. To run a business for profit, one must be focused to the point of being
    ruthless in many cases, such as if drugs, condoms, pornography, toxic material
    or anything that offends your religion or the religion or health of anyone
    being affected by what you produce and sell, spreading it through the various
    neighborhoods throughout America, for the benefit of your stock holders you
    must remember money and profits are the bottom line. This is why business is in
    trouble with society today like never before. Sending Jobs to China for Big
    Profits is another example of why decent people are not voting for the God
    Almighty Dollar. Businesses want to do business with Communist and Socialist
    but they don’t want our Government to be Communist or Socialist. Many
    Businesses thrive on using double standards but doesn’t want anyone else to use
    it, so they tell lies; most people see through this scheme. Because of America
    over the years of being indoctrinated into honesty, fairness and sacrifice for
    a bare decent living, they may be leaning towards Socialism. In fact I hear
    more and more people saying the thing the world needs is a little Capitalism
    seasoned with a little Socialism like China is starting to implement.
    Obama, who had a great deal of experience dealing with the neglected sector of
    our America, like all Governments have, and are many time rejected by most
    industries. They are still here and need dealt with. Industry refuses to deal
    with this sector of our economy, so most business owners and CEO”S of larger
    Corporate Conglomerates don’t have patience, or knowledge to cope with this
    part of America. Obama has that experience, he doesn’t have the back biting
    experience needed to deal with ruthless business men but he does have the
    advisors for that reason and if they aren’t getting the job done, he can
    acquire new and better equipped advisors. One thing for shore, naïve voters
    ignorant of what is really going on can easily choose a wrong president. They
    chose Hitler in Germany and look what a bunch of decent naïve people who voter
    wrong cause the entire world in the 1940’s

    Too few rich to make a dent on the deficit by increasing their taxes? Considering how we’re now in a deficit because we gave them those humongous tax cuts to begin with, makes your statement a sham. Not only that, but by not letting tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans expire, Rethugs added almost a trillion to the deficit over the next ten years. That’s according to the Congressional Budget Office, y’know, that institution you conservatards love to bash until it reflects something you like. As for class envy, jeez, ya think? Considering how the working class is now working harder than it’s ever worked for the same stagnant wages since Reagan, and the rich just get bigger tax cuts that they don’t invest here at home; that instead, they invest in foreign economies, maybe it’s time to envy the breaks the robber barons have been getting that America’s shrinking and lower paid working force no longer does. How odd, that in America’s “Golden Years” that you Rethugs wax so nostalgically about, the marginal tax rate for the wealthy was between 80-90% in the 40s, 50s and 60s; you know, back before America became a Marxist state. So, by all means, lets go back to the lovely days of yester year, when America’s middle class was booming and millionaires, back then an even tinier minority, were getting only ten to twenty percent of their worth going into their pockets and America was in it’s economic prime.

    EXACTLY!! Not to mention the MANY times she’s called the police over the past couple of years because she felt that a “liberal” in her audience, a perceived “liberal” reporter asking a question about her hypocrisy, or an insult directed at her husband; ALL apparently justified police reports & insistences of a restraining orders!! (no arrests have ever been made, nor have any restraining orders been issued.
    My FAVORITE though? When she went to a restroom to “powder her nose”, and a woman recognized her and asked her what her view on “civil unions” was. (The woman had a friend with her, but she didn’t say or do anything), Sister Michelle ran screaming from the restroom insisting she was the victim of an attempted lesbian rape!!
    Naaaahhhh, those “conservatives” NEVER “play the victim card”.
    On the other side though. considering they’re claiming that Don “played the victim card”; I don’t think they even know what the word “victim” actually MEANS!! They strike me as the type of people who would accuse a rape victim of being a “sissy”, or “playing the victim card”, if she pressed charges against their attacker.
    And as an assault survivor-I’ve met a few of these types. The biggest insult, however, is when these same people actually claim to be “Christian”…

    If the Team Obama media jackals like Lennon want to be embarrassed, they can keep up this desperate campaign of slander against Bachmann.  The ad hominem attacks against Bachmann by the media jackals have boomeranged against the Left and hugely helped Bachmann.
