Don Lemon Speaks Out for First Time After CNN Firing | PEOPLE

[@tenbroeck1958]

His ratings sucked, and he DOES NOT LOOK FINE. He is hurting, and I'm glad, as I despise racists

Lemon doesn’t know how to tell the truth. His beliefs aren’t truth, they’re a bias of racism, racism, & a communist at heart.

[@apollomiller6207]

He was actually being sexiest not racist lmao .

[@BlueF350]

Thank you

[@69chotos]

My opinion is he sounds like a huge racist and appears to spreads hate for monetary gain. I can point out several times that he took people’s words and turned them upside down to fit his hate speech. Not a good person. If you can’t see that and only see his color, then you’re likely as hateful and racist as he seems.

[@Erocchi]

Well, he was racist and arrogant. He had it coming.

Everything this video has shown he's said is either wrong to say and/or wrong. I'm glad he is done for and he should remain so! Clearly irresponsible, too. What an absolute child and, no Don, before you'd have the tendency to say that is somehow okay, not in the good way.

[@RobertEves-px7zp]

The Truth ! ? 😆😆

[@TheHardTruth101]

To everyone saying he looks old now, he’s 60. Only difference is he no longer reports to a news channel that more than likely forced him to keep his salt and pepper beard shaved off. Salt and pepper beards look old on anyone, even 30-year olds

[@mariltn4]

Don is 57... that is not old.

[@chimsgraphic]

I never liked Don, but it's clear his former cnn colleagues, those two ladies who sat by his side, set "booby" traps for him to get fired. The other lady won't let him finish a sentence, she did it intentionally to provoke him. She even pissed off Donald Trump on the CNN Town Hall.

[@nauidiver227]

How about that Elon Musk interview haha he is exactly what’s wrong with CNN.

[@johnhanson9245]

Don Lemon said of CNN: "They wanted to be centrist, and they wanted to move the network in a certain direction, which was kind of a bit surprising because I think the news is the news. You don’t choose a direction, it just is." Hmmm. Left leaning news is news reported in a certain way to a certain audience. Right leaning news does the same. Lemon thinks that he has no left slant in his thinking.

[@jorgeconde5956]

CNN Lies so basically Lemon is saying CNN wants to report some factual news for a change.

[@lawlor2925]

Theres no right wing news. It's either fake lying news or try to tell the truth news. 95% look for w.e they can push. Fox is dem and republican. NEWSMAX is the only station I've found that speaks on facts only, and actually talks about the corruption from democrats and how certain Republicans are not doing thier jobs. They left painted this picture abiut trump over and over to sear it into people's heads. Unlike everyone I didn't fall for it. 99% of the shit they said about trump was either straight up MADE UP or theyd take something he said and stretch the living shit out of it, like the "he said drink bleach" or "he never denounced kkk" which they then edited clips to match up what they said. I couldn't believe how they were lying right to everyone's face plain as day yet most didn't see it. The bleach shit he never said, he said to a scientist early in the unknown covid days "your trying UV to kill the virus right? Also your probably testing to see if bleach can kill it also? which was regarding to covid being on surfaces like the cruise ships. But dumbasses STILL til this day havnt taken 2 seconds to research that was made up

He looks like he’s aged 30 years in two months

[@penandpencilplow]

He’s unemployed now. He’ll never have another position like he had at CNN. He’d been there over a decade, was settled in and got too big for his britches. He didn’t think they would get rid of him and couldn’t see the writing on the wall that many viewers could. Having something to be a part of, and stimulation for your brain, structure, people, and group email lists- all this keeps one “young”. Don lemon travelled the world and was on the inside of politics and celebrity not to mention his huge salary. CNN brought him notoriety and fame. He had a staff and people to do his makeup. He’s gone from all of this to zero. He even had to turn in his company cell phone. Even his boyfriend told Don Lemon to cool it at CNN. He could see what was coming. He’ll have to find something else to do with his time now. And make sure his money doesn’t run out.

Oh no.. no more drunk news broadcast on new years… guy was pathetic, toted to exhaustion both the black and gay card.

[@ToddDouglasFox]

@@penandpencilplow No one makes someone else. We are not dependent on a network or a job, anything or anyone. We can do better. You can do better and so can I at being the best version of ourselves. You just proved it by admitting to your typo. Good on you. Small thing but it mattered enough to you to fix it.

[@penandpencilplow]

I do get what you’re saying. The long career at CNN gave Lemon a high anchor journalist position which brought him years of notoriety and fame. It’s unlikely he will get that again. But, yes he can move on with the resources amassed from his years employed at CNN. They did make him a household name. I fixed my typo because I mean no offense.

[@ToddDouglasFox]

@@penandpencilplow you fixed your typo because you want to be at your most accurate and best as pertained. Our best is always more of what WE can do. You have proven my point to you. DL can do the same, his best. Who cares about fame and money by comparison? Values change. When we are kids, we value things and activities that we often stop valuing by the time we are adults. I’m nearly 70, my values run deep. I would never want fame and I have had plenty of money, starting my first business at 13 for example was up to me and I made it a successful business, not just financially but on many levels. But whatever it is we value, it’s up to us to be our best selves. We are a work in progress. DL can do better than CNN in his life. It’s up to him.

[@tapking40]

So pompous

[@My2CentsYall]

I'm like this the comment he made about women LOL got him roasted but he had to go to classes as a resolve to that. Secondly he and his co anchor i have no clue what her name is could not get along that was another problem. He has been there for 20 years to have one incident that people know of and be canned is harsh. They fired him over an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy when Don pushed back on statements Vivek made about " the NRA helping black people obtain civil rights". Don checked him hard on the statement which is totally false no where in ANY history book is the NRA credited with civil rights for black people. His co anchor never supported him during the conversation, which was another issues i saw so yeah she didn't like him at all. Anyway Chris Licht is trying to get some of fox news listeners and he was willing to use CNN credibility to do it. That interview with donald trump gave them rating but its always at a cost to that and that is paid in credibility. Do you want to be like FOX and lie to people for views. As master Yoda said "“Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you, it will.” That is exactly what happen to fox news! Fox is known to create new not report it because there a difference.

[@penandpencilplow]

DLemon was known to be a Diva and was jealous of other women co-workers. It was reported he stalked a former female co-worker. They tracked calls to her to Lemon’s phone. He treated staff beneath him. CNN staff and other anchors were all relieved he was gone. It’s all on record. Don Lemon lived like a white man and talked down to blacks. He spoke up at the interview with the Indian politician at the end. He knew he was on his way out and needed the black clout against CNN. It was a known fact lemon was given many chances to keep his job by Zucker who covered him. Licht didn’t let him go right away either when others at CNN were urging him to fire Don. When a journalist becomes the story, he or she is a liability. It’s the nature of the job.

[@My2CentsYall]

@@penandpencilplow None of that is public nor has anyone on any non biased website reported all that you just did. All people know is what we can see that I mentioned above. What I'm saying is how do you prove what you said see.... What I stated is on every site that talks about him and chris licht. Then they got rid of chris because of the direction he wanted to go was not what viewers wanted or executives. Yeah Chris was going to fire Don to support his new vision he just needed a reason. To be honest Don lemon bought them rating. Don's replacement is terrible and the blond woman whatever her name is is boring theirs that. If you have been watching they now have a white guy with her now that she is not to happy with him either.

[@sookie4195]

Don always pull the race card as many blocks do. People are sick of it, including his boss apparently. This was not an interview. It was an argument.

[@My2CentsYall]

@@sookie4195 Was he right...Your going to say he pulled the race card LOL that's a absolute joke. When people say that they deny racism exist when it clearly does in America. Just because its not happening to you for obvious reason does not mean it does not happen. ANYWAY you have to ask yourself was he right NOTICE you do not mention it. DID the NRA help black people get civil rights...the answer is a resounding no they did the opposite they stoked fears of black people to pump up gun sales.
