CNN's Don Lemon shrugged off the uproar surrounding a tweet the Las Vegas Raiders sent out following the Derek Chauvin trial verdict. Lemon joined his CNN colleagues on New Day Wednesday to talk about the fallout from Chauvin being found guilty of all charges for the murder of George Floyd. At one point, Brianna Keilar asked for Lemon's take on how the Raiders raised eyebrows by reacting to the conviction with a tweet saying "I can breathe" — a reference to the dying words of Floyd and Eric Garner.
