Don Lemon Hits ‘Stunt King’ Limbaugh over Sterling-Obama Connection

Donald Sterling has been universally condemned and no one has made excuses for what’s happened to him. Well, no one except Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh brought up Sterling’s past donations to Democrats to declare that Sterling is clearly in trouble because “he did not give enough money to Obama,” and so all the outrage surrounding Sterling is phony and overblown.

On CNN Monday, Erin Burnett noted how some people are “making excuses for Sterling,” playing Limbaugh’s comments. Don Lemon said, “If we didn’t know then, that Rush Limbaugh is a stunt king, then we know now. There is no excuse for this behavior.”

Limbaugh wasn’t the only one to say something in defense of Sterling, Donald Trump said that Sterling was likely set up by his girlfriend.
