Now CNN’s Don Lemon Is the Laughingstock of Twitter
It was one of the most bizarre interviews ever on TV news. CNN’s Don Lemon, who used to work in Philadelphia at NBC10, asked one of the women who is accusing Bill Cosby of rape, why she didn’t do more to prevent it. He went so far as to basically ask Joan Tarshis why she didn’t just bite Cosby’s penis.

That bizarre exchange gave birth to #DonLemonReporting, #DonLemonRapePreventionTips and #DonLemonQuestions, with tweets applying Lemon’s warped logic to other situations. It is the top trending hashtag on Twitter:
Why don't people that are killed in tornados get out of the way? #donlemonreporting

If Africans didn't want to be stolen and sold into slavery, they shouldn't have been in Africa that day. #DonLemonReporting

So, Jesus, why didn't you just take the nails away from that Roman guy? Or grab his hammer? #DonLemonReporting

You get the idea. Don Lemon has apologized and says he was a sexual assault victim, too.
He apologized on CNN yesterday:
