CNN’s Don Lemon is on the ground in Charleston, South Carolina, covering the horrific mass shooting that occurred last night at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

During a live CNN report today, a bystander interrupted Lemon and began shouting at him and calling him an “Uncle Tom.”

“Are you angry, Don? Uncle Tom? Hello,” said an African-American woman who walked into the camera shot behind Lemon. “Are you angry, Don? Because we’re angry. Speak about the anger.”

The clip from the broadcast is being blasted all over Twitter and Instagram.
