Fox News’ Janice Dean slammed CNN’s Don Lemon for his “disgraceful” comments about the biggest “terror threat” facing America.
The Fox News Channel weather anchor tweeted in response to Lemon’s recent controversial on-air rant declaring that “white men” are the biggest terror threat to the United States.
Lemon made his remarks in the same sentence as his call to “stop demonizing people” during CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”

“We have to stop demonizing people and realize 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,” he told CNN colleague Chris Cuomo, igniting a firestorm of backlash.
Rather than apologize later for creating the outrage, the defiant anchor doubled down on his racist rhetoric, declaring that those angry with his comments were “missing the entire point.”
Megyn Kelly instantly felt the heat with NBC pulling her show after remarks that liberals deemed racist when she referenced wearing blackface with costumes for Halloween. But Lemon still has his job at CNN even after his blatantly controversial comments.
Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean took to Twitter with a very personal perspective.
My firefighter husband lived through the terror attacks on September 11th and is still going to funerals 17 years later. He knows what a terror threat looks and feels like. The comments from @donlemon are irresponsible, hurtful and disgraceful.

When one of the first responses to Dean’s tweet was a disrespectful attack about her being a “snowflake,” Dean shredded her with a simple sentence.
Totally disagree. Don Lemon was spot on. Who is committing mass shootings, targeting churches, sending suspicious packages? White men. It’s not all but it’s enough to be a threat. Btw he’s not the only person to say this. Who’s the snowflake

Yeah don’t call my husband who runs into burning buildings to save people like yourself a snowflake. Bye.

Dean’s tweet sparked a debate between those who agreed with Lemon and others who condemned his words. Many supported Dean and her comments.
America sides with JD and her husband & his fellow firefighters❤️??

Janice, please tell your husband THANK YOU! #FirstResponder #Brave #hero

Agreed Janice! Terrorism & violence happens across demographics. To single out one race like Don did is factually wrong, extremely divisive & offensive. He should retract his comments and apologize.

He has risen to prominence on the color of his skin and the glibness of his delivery. He is a small thinker with a big mouth.

Thank your husband for his service . Our military, firefighters and police keep us safe daily and they are the hero’s that need to be recognized.
