Fox’s Bolling Defends Don Lemon from ‘Intolerant Left’: ‘When They Don’t Get Their Way…’

Fox’s Eric Bolling defended CNN’s Don Lemon and Raven-Symoné this morning after petitions have demanded they be fired just for expressing their views on the Spring Valley school confrontation.

Bolling called this an “attack on free speech” and said, “This is the intolerant left wanting everyone to mimic their point of view, and when they don’t get their way they call for firings and boycotts.”

On a more personal note, he added, “Don Lemon and I speak all the time. I’m on his side on this, even though he’s a competitor.”

At one point he asked if this might be a “race issue.” Eboni Williams said that many people believe that when someone from a minority group is in the kind of position Lemon or Raven-Symoné are in, there’s an “expectation” their opinions will be consistent with the community at large.

Bolling also said he’s not a big fan of boycotts in general, admitting that while he himself is still pissed off about what Quentin Tarantino said about the police, he won’t “call for people to not watch a Quentin Tarantino movie over something he said.”
