There’ve definitely been plenty of them during this mess. This conversation was framed in terms of physical threats because .. reasons. Don Lemon has no brain. Not the wisest thing to engage with because someone could try and frame the comments this exact way, but saying “I don’t think she’d engage me physically because she’s scared of me” is not “I or someone should physically engage or intimidate you”, like say Maxine Waters did. The “threat” part comes from creating the initiation, not responding in theory to if something happened.
