LEMON: So, take this. The Justice Department labeling three U.S. cities, New York, Seattle, and Portland, as anarchy jurisdictions. The DOJ making good on the president's threat to withhold federal aid in response to prolonged civil unrest in those cities. It is overtly political and a rubber stamp for the president's campaign rhetoric.</s>TRUMP: You're never going to have safe areas in those Democrat-run areas. They're not peaceful protests. That's anarchy.</s>LEMON: Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says it's all part of the president's divisive politics.</s>GOV. ANDREW CUOMO (D-NY): I think he's more concerned with remaining president of the United States, and he thinks his political opportunity is to try to divide this nation. Is it going to happen? No, because it's illegal and it's unconstitutional. But it's politics. It's politics for the next few weeks going up to the November election. That's all this is.</s>LEMON: I should note, and this is important, cities in Minnesota and Wisconsin, two states that also experienced unrest over the summer but are seen as competitive in the presidential election, they were not labeled by the DOJ. At this very moment I'm sitting in the so-called -- in a so-called anarchy jurisdiction. Things are OK. And look, that's Times Square tonight. Do you see all the lawlessness? Do you see the insurrection? Of course not. Because it's unreal. The president only wants you to think it is. Those are live pictures, by the way. Coronavirus deaths in the country on the brink of 200,000. But the president insists he deserves an a-plus.
