CNN host Don Lemon<\/u><\/a> went on the attack Friday morning, accusing Republican politicians and conservative commentators of using “wokeness” to score political points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Oh boy,” Lemon said. “The hottest fight in the American culture wars right now is over wokeness. Republican politicians and media figures blame wokeness for everything from censorship to bank failures.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“What exactly does it mean to be woke?” Lemon asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is not about defining people for a characteristic,” the CNN host said, disagreeing with Republican Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s<\/a> definition of the term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lemon added, “It is being aware. It is about being aware of issues that have to do with minorities, destruction of the country, issues that have to do with women. Issues that have to do with any marginalized community. That’s what it is \u2014 not defining people.”<\/p>\n

He continued his speech on wokeness, also admitting that he tells his friends in private to stop using the term.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s being aware of the structural injustices in our society and trying to be better, not trying to cancel people. I think that he\u2019s wrong on that,” Lemon said, rebuking Ramaswamy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I always tell my friends who, you know, use \u2018woke.\u2019 I\u2019m like, don\u2019t use that word. You know, there are certain words, like, it\u2019s not a good look.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramaswamy defined wokness during a CNN interview as “becoming alert to invisible societal injustices generally based on inherited characteristics like race, sex, and sexual orientation and then being called upon to act on those injustices using whatever potential legal means are necessary, including the market.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My criticism of this is I think it\u2019s inherently divisive to tell us we\u2019re nothing more than the characteristics we inherit on the day we\u2019re born,” Ramaswamy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Appearing on the CNN morning show, “The View<\/u><\/a>” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin argued to Lemon that wokeness means “different things to different people.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

To Democrats, being woke means “caring about social justice causes and actively involved in them,” Farah Griffin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But to the other half of the country,” she added, “it is generally interpreted is to mean more of a fear of cancel culture.”<\/p>\n

Lemon disagreed, saying that the term “woke” has been “co-opted by conservatives and people running for office.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Farah Griffin, who once served as White House Director of Strategic Communications for former President Donald Trump, recommended that Republicans focus on “cancel culture” over wokeness because it is more “tangible.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That is a valid fight that resonates with people,” Farah Griffin said of cancel culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Farah Griffin claimed that she didn\u2019t care about wokeness as a “Republican voter and a base voter.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know that I think it\u2019s a lasting argument,” she said of Republican attacks on woke ideology.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
