CNN host Don Lemon couldn’t contain his contempt for one of his conservative panelists on “Don Lemon Tonight” Thursday, and cut the guest’s mic before having him removed from the show.
Lemon called President Donald Trump’s “shithole” remarks on immigration “racist” and “xenophobic,” but was triggered when radio host John Fredericks disagreed with him.
“Well Don, it’s not about race, as you like to make it. Because that’s easy and lazy,” Fredericks said. “It’s about economics.” Anti-Trump conservative Rick Wilson, who was also on the panel began laughing in disbelief.
Lemon allowed Fredericks to continue talking, until Fredericks said, “You called on me, so let me finish.” This was apparently too much for the CNN host to handle and he kicked Fredericks off the segment.
