During the CNN panel segment, Matt Lewis of the Daily Caller said:
"It's brutality, is what it is. And I think the fact that this is a vulnerable person who was probably duped into sort of going along with them, it appears, somebody who is mentally disabled, I think makes it even more sickening.
Don, at the end of the day, you just try to wrap your head around evil. That's what this is. It's evil; it's brutality; it's man's inhumanity to man..."
Lemon replied:
"I don't think it's evil. I don't think it's evil. I think these are young people, and I think they have bad home training...I have no idea who is raising these young people because no one I know on earth who is 17-years-old, or is 70-years-old, would ever think of treating another person like that. It is inhumane, and you wonder, at 18 years old, where is your parent? Where is your guardian ?
This was an act of evil. Period.
