Don Lemon appears to have missed Wednesday's memo from CNN brass saying that neither he nor network would be commenting any further on his claim that white men are the biggest terrorist threat to America.

On Monday, during an on-air discussion with colleague Chris Cuomo about the migrant caravan, Lemon said white men, particularly on the far-right, are the biggest threat to our country.

"We keep thinking that the biggest terror threat is something else – some people who are marching toward the border like it’s imminent,” Lemon commented. “The last time they did this, a couple hundred people came and they, most of them didn’t get into the country. Most of them got tuckered out before they made it to the border.”

Citing the ethnicity of the suspects in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre and Kentucky grocery store shooting last week (both of which are being investigated as hate crimes) he proposed, "We have to stop demonizing people and realize that the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them."

Lemon received backlash for the comments, and CNN declined to comment on his statements.

But the TV anchor opted to revisit the issue on Wednesday after Trump said he would move to end birthright citizenship.

"Well, tonight I want to talk about some uncomfortable truths: the truth about who really carries out domestic terror attacks in this country," Lemon began, before reminding viewers of his original remarks. "I said that the biggest terror threat in this country comes from radicals on the far right, primarily white men. That angered some people. But let’s put emotion aside and look at the cold hard facts. The evidence is overwhelming."

He cited several studies, including a 2017 investigation by the Office of Government Accountability which looked at every act of domestic terrorism between Sept. 11, 2001, and December 31, 2016, and found that the majority of domestic terrorism is propagated by right-wing extremists.

"Even though more people died in attacks by Islamic extremists (119 vs 106), the vast majority of deadly attacks in this country from 2001 to 2016 (62 vs. 23) were carried out by far-right violent extremists," Lemon said of the findings.

He concluded, "So people who are angry about what I said are missing the entire point. We don't need to worry about people who are thousands of miles away. The biggest threats are home-grown."
