Former CNN host Don Lemon didn’t hold back in a recent YouTube rant, blasting supporters of President-elect Donald Trump with expletive-filled insults.
“You’re So Stupid and You Deserve It”
Lemon called Trump supporters “dumb f—ing idiots” and mocked their “stupid MAGA brain.” He went on to say, “You’re so f—ing stupid and you deserve it. You f—ing deserve it because you’re so dumb.” He even justified his gloating, saying “Yes, I am gloating over your stupidity.”
“You’re in a Cult and You Don’t Even Realize It”
Lemon continued his rant, accusing Trump supporters of being part of a “f—ing cult” and not even realizing it. He questioned their intelligence, asking “How stupid and dumb are you?”
This isn’t the first time Lemon has made headlines for his controversial statements. He was fired from CNN in April 2023 after a series of scandals, including alienating female viewers and conservative audiences.
The MAGA Base Splits Over H-1B Visas
Last week, the MAGA base was divided over the issue of H-1B visas for skilled laborers. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, co-chairs of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), expressed their support for the visas, while Steve Bannon called them a “scam” that “takes American jobs and brings over what essentially become indentured servants at lower wages.”
Trump Weighs In on H-1B Visas
Trump sided with Musk and Ramaswamy, stating his support for H-1B visas. Lemon responded by referencing Sriram Krishnan, who was named a senior adviser on artificial intelligence by President-elect Trump.
A History of Controversy
Lemon has a history of making provocative statements. He’s compared Trump supporters to Ku Klux Klan members, defended Antifa, and fumed over people not vaccinated against coronavirus “taking up the space” in hospitals.
Most recently, he attacked Time Magazine for picking Trump as their Person of the Year, calling the choice a “joke.” He suggested that they could have chosen someone who “actually stood for democracy” instead.
