The following week was followed by another expletive-filled rant by frequently fired independent news commentator Don Lemon.
Less than two weeks after his first heated spat over President-elect Donald Trump, the former CNN anchor and short-lived X-Partner has returned to his vicious vitriol.
Talking about him, YouTube program of the same nameLemon targeted “Morning Joe” co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Lemon insulted the pair during a Friday segment of their MSNBC show in which married anchors dared to discuss civility toward the incoming 47th president.
In a debate on the MSNBC cable news network with guests Michael Steele and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, Glasser seemed determined to perpetuate the country's political divisions, and suggested that Trump should not be accused of Russia. He warned against showing undue respect to the incoming White House administration, comparing him to President Vladimir Putin. .
Like a dog with a bone, Lemon used Glasser's commentary to criticize Scarborough and Brzezinski, who were widely criticized for having a powwow with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in November, He denounced the very idea of extending an olive branch in the name of restoring civil debate. A painful national election.
“We have to show the American people that this is not normal… grinning at the people we've called fascists in recent years and months. That's not normal,” he spat.
“People are tired of this behavior becoming the norm. Civility doesn't mean getting along with people or abandoning your morals, principles and character.” said Lemon.
Lemon said this even though he wasn't finished with his rant yet.
“And they're going to find out. If Ted Cruz can't defend his wife, who Donald Trump called ugly, who will he defend?” the host asked.
The former CNN talking head was furious at former President Barack Obama, who was seen smiling and conversing with President Trump like a grown adult at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral last week. He even released the club.
“Barack Obama is a classy guy. But these are the same MAGA people who called and helped Donald Trump promote Michelle Obama by calling her a man.” Lemon said.
“If you call my sister, my mother, my wife, my girlfriend a man, I'm not putting a smile on your face. Damn it!”
Just before the new year, Lemon made yet another R-rated protest on his YouTube show, citing unrest among Trump supporters over the U.S. government's decision to issue “H1-B” visas to foreign professional workers. He was ridiculed for using MAGA abuse.
“Oh my god, I love this. I just realized, you idiots. Now you're just figuring this out. You deserve it because you're so stupid. And you're so stupid.” So it’s only natural,” a beaming Lemon sneered.
“You're being co-opted because you're in the Af King cult, but you don't realize it because you have a stupid MAGA brain, and you don't understand it. “How stupid and stupid are you?'' he said.
