Don Lemon Gives Disastrous Statement In Response To Outrage Over Segment Mocking Republicans, Critics Fire Back

CNN’s Don Lemon responded on Tuesday night to outrage over a segment from his show where he and his leftist guests mocked Trump supporters over the weekend as being rednecks by claiming that he could not hear everything that was said and that he was laughing at the joke, not a group of people.

“During an interview on Saturday night, one of my guests said something that made me laugh and while in the moment, I found that joke humorous,” Lemon continued. “And I didn’t catch everything that was said.”
“Just to make this perfectly clear, I was laughing at the joke and not at any group of people,” Lemon claimed.
