Disgraced CNN host stirs up massive controversy for shameful remarks about this conservative
The Left never has any solid arguments that they can use. That’s why they constantly resort to insults.
And a disgraced CNN host stirs up a massive controversy for making shameful remarks about this conservative.
Former CNN star Don Lemon is facing a firestorm of criticism after hurling a shocking insult at conservative powerhouse Megyn Kelly, calling her appearance “trans” during a crude chat on his new podcast, Clip Farmers.
The disgraced anchor didn’t hold back while ripping into what he dubbed “MAGA ladies,” zeroing in on Kelly’s looks in a way that’s sparked accusations of blatant double standards.
“I think she looks trans,” Lemon sneered, doubling down with the derogatory jab, “Looks clockable,” a slang term that mocks transgender individuals who don’t pass as their chosen gender.
His co-host, clearly uncomfortable, tried to wrap things up quickly, muttering, “Let’s end on that note.”
The clip exploded online, drawing swift condemnation from users who pointed out Lemon’s history of championing transgender causes, now seemingly tossed aside for a cheap shot.
One critic, Jeff Varner, fired off a pointed response: “For a man who praises trans people, #DonLemon sure feels comfortable using trans as an insult.”
Another observer questioned the shift in leftist tactics: “The Left is using ‘Trans’ as an insult now?”
A third user nailed the core issue: “Hypocrisy at its finest. When it’s convenient, principles fly out the window.”
Just last year at the 2023 Son Awards, which honors Black LGBTQ men, Lemon took a strong stand against laws he viewed as attacking the transgender community.
“Nearly half of those bills target our transgender and nonbinary siblings. These bills range from banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth to banning drag performances,” Lemon declared, as reported by the Hollywood Reporter.
He didn’t stop there, slamming efforts to remove certain books from schools and libraries that he claimed suppressed minority voices.
“So, let’s just be real. These book bans are rooted in anti-Blackness and transphobia and qu**rphobia,” he thundered during his speech.
Lemon also jumped to the defense of transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney amid the massive backlash over her Bud Light partnership that tanked the brand’s sales.
“So what if someone who is transgender drinks Bud Light? How does that affect you?” Lemon asked rhetorically while still at CNN. “So what does it matter? I don’t really get it.”
In another moment, he offered solace to a transgender woman expressing fears about the upcoming 2024 election, showing an emotional side that’s now being contrasted with his recent barbs.
All this makes his swipe at Kelly even more jarring, as it exposes what many see as selective outrage from the liberal elite.
Lemon’s fall from grace at CNN came in 2023, triggered by a string of allegations about his conduct toward women, including outbursts that painted him as hostile and unprofessional.
Several incidents, like tense exchanges with female colleagues, piled up until the network showed him the door, ending his long run as a prime-time fixture.
Now, with this latest controversy, Lemon’s attempt to reinvent himself via podcasting is hitting rough waters, as conservatives cheer the exposure of what they call typical leftist flip-flopping.
