Former CNN host Don Lemon was told to his face he is a āfucking moronā during a man-on-the-street interview that live-streamed Sunday.
Lemon, who was fired from CNN in April 2023 after clashing with then-Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy over gun control laws in the post-Civil War South, was doing a live-stream in New York City when the incident occurred. Lemon had just finished talking with a woman who shouted āFree Palestineā and claimed a genocide was taking place in Gaza when he approached a man.

āHow are you doing, sir?ā Lemon asked, with the man responding, āGood.ā
āCan we talk to you? Where are you from?ā Lemon asked, with the man asking in response, āWho are you,ā before the former CNN host identified himself.

āYouāre a fucking moron, dude,ā the man said, with Lemon replying with, āThank you. So are you.ā
āYeah. Itās very nice to see you,ā the man said, with Lemon responding, āNice to see you.ā
In March 2024, Lemon announced the termination of a deal for his show to be commercialized on X days after a contentiousinterview with Tesla CEO Elon Musk was released.
āYouāve never heard anything Iāve had to say, and Iāve heard a whole bunch of what you say,ā the man said, with Lemon asking, āIām glad you watch me.ā
The man clarified that he didnāt watch Lemonās show, but that heād seen Lemon was āclipped.ā
āBefore I realized CNN and MSNBC were full of shit, every once in a while Iād see you talking,ā the man said, with Lemon then asking why the man held that opinion.
āBecause they lie,ā the man explained, with Lemon asking, āHow ā about what? Be specific.ā
The former CNN host drew fire after he said former Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina, who also served as Ambassador to the United Nations, was āpast her primeā at age 51 during an episode of āCNN This Morningā in Feb. 2023. Lemon also has a history of appearing on air while apparently inebriated during CNNās New Yearās Eve broadcasts.
āEverything,ā the man responded.
