Former first lady Michelle Obama was showered with applause during a speech she delivered on the second night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The enthusiastic audience reaction underscores that Obama -- and her husband -- remains wildly popular among her base. Indeed, recent polls show she's the only...

Former CNN host Don Lemon hit the streets and interviewed women on “Trump vs. Harris.” The answers Lemon received in the video overwhelmingly favored Trump. “I’m going for Trump. I feel like every time they don’t want somebody who’s good for us to win they throw somebody black in our face, thinking that’s going to make us vote for the black person,” one woman said. “I voted for Obama because he was black. I don’t want to vote for her because she’s the first black woman to run for president or to win,” another woman explained. “Well, I want Donald Trump. I’m sorry,” another woman answered. “We had good times with Donald Trump,” she added. Lemon asked one woman what she thought of Kamala Harris. She referenced Harris being “phony and fake.” WATCH: Women on Trump vs. Harris… pic.twitter.com/bi4sItJy15 — Don Lemon (@donlemon) August 20, 2024 X users reacted to Lemon’s video, which, at the time of writing, had 1.8 million views.

WATCH: Hey Jersey…Trump or Harris? pic.twitter.com/z4wtsWA2Bb — Don Lemon (@donlemon) August 17, 2024 Per Fox News: Former CNN host Don Lemon appeared to be surprised by historically deep blue New Jersey where voters told him that they would be supporting Donald Trump in the election. Lemon recently spoke to folks in Atlantic City and attempted to defend Vice President Harris in a video he posted on Saturday. The first interviewee said, “Trump for the win,” and added Vice President Harris wasn’t good for the lead role. “Does it have anything to do with being a woman?” the former CNN host replied, and the person said it had nothing to do with her gender. Harris quickly took over President Biden’s position at the top of the Democratic ticket after the president announced he would be dropping out of the race, following weeks of pressure from fellow Democrats. “Four years ago, it was a lot better. I made a lot more money than I do now,” another voter said. Lemon pushed back and said, “I know you feel that way, but that’s not actually what the record shows, the economy was better under Biden.” The voter laughed as Lemon added, “No, I’m serious.” “Do you watch CNN?” the voter shot back.

Regarding the choice of name for the statue, its official website says, “The Statue of Union will be North America’s tallest statue of Lord Hanuman, an embodiment of strength, devotion, and selfless service. Hanuman united Sri Rama with Sita and hence the name, Statue of Union.” The statue is located at Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple in Sugar Land, Texas. The website also says that the statue “is about creating a spiritual epicenter where hearts find solace, minds find peace, and souls find a path to transcendence.” “Hanuman is a Hindu god whose shape is half-monkey, half-human,” Durham University stated.

Talk about a coincidence,” Vision4TheBlind noted.
