"SNIP........

Don Lemon filed an aggravated harassment report with the New York Police Department on Wednesday after a Twitter user allegedly threatened to stab the CNN anchor "in the neck" while hurling racial slurs at him.

The messages were sent to the 51-year-old "CNN Tonight" host not long after he broke down reading on the air a letter he penned to President Trump regarding his conversation with a Gold Star widow that had dominated the news cycle for more than a week.

"It was harassment and they also made a threat. The person said, 'I will find you real soon.' And called [Lemon] a f---ing n-word," an NYPD spokesman said. "It's being investigated at this time."

The police spokesman added that the alleged harassment happened on Tuesday.

2. When Rachel sneezes, I assume she may well have been poisoned.

I know it is ridiculous, but it really isnt, you see.

I am always happy to hear her stop sneezing or have her voice return to normal, same for Lawrence.

Lemon I dont watch but I assume it is the same situation.

3. Don Lemon is 51 years old?

I thought he was in his mid to late 30's.

4. Yeah.

Looks good for his age.

[chillfactor]

5. suprised me too..

i thought he was younger as well. I really like Don's program....I watch MSNBC at night because of Rachel and Lawrence.....their programs are always superb. Then I switch over to watch Don Lemon when his show is rerun.

12. Twitter is now used for death threats.

13. Don Lemon is just the latest in a number of prominent african americans who are targetted

because they are 1: popular and 2: black...and that is a threat to the right....it could change the base's hearts. I think of Michelle Obama and a whole host of female black congress people who get verbally molested.
