Former CNN host Don Lemon had some choice words for MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, after he suggested people could be “civil” toward President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration.

According to Fox News, Lemon blasted Scarborough on his “Live at Five” podcast Friday, after former RNC chair Michael Steele and Scarborough had a heated discussion over the friendly exchange between Trump and former President Barrack Obama during former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral processions last week.

“If someone disrespects my loved one, I don’t have to smile in their f***ing face! And they’re going to know it … These are the very same MAGA people who have called, and Donald Trump has helped promote, calling Michelle Obama a man. I’m not smiling in your face if you’re calling my sister and my mother or my wife or my girlfriend, a man. F**k you!” Lemon reportedly said.

Steele told Scarborough during a discussion Friday, that Trump does not deserve civility from former presidents, because he was not civil toward President Joe Biden when he won the 2020 presidential election.

“I’m telling you something that you seem to forget … the reality of it is, I take your civility argument … 82 million people voted for Joe Biden,” Steele told Scarborough, “And he didn’t get that civility that you’re talking about from Donald Trump in those four years.”

In a breakdown of the exchange by Lemon, he slammed Scarborough and said he was “bending the knee” to Trump. Lemon further said Steele was “giving it straight” to Scarborough after he disagreed, and that people need to “have some f***ing balls” when standing up to Trump.

“Call it for what it is … not make excuses,” Lemon said, adding that while it is a good thing to be civil, this does not apply when it comes to Trump.

Lemon then went on to say Trump only cares about his own agenda, and this is another reason he does not deserve civility.

“That is not true as it relates to Donald Trump, that is not true. Donald Trump is a singular different kind of figure. No morals. No values. No allegiances, except for himself,” Lemon said.

Lemon questioned the motives behind Obama’s friendly exchange with Trump.

“One side is trying to get people to be civil, because of their own uncivil actions … If they’re going to acquiesce seemingly like that publicly, then what does that mean in the broader sense of the structure of the fabric of our society?” he said.
