Former CNN host Don Lemon recently lashed out at Republicans in a profanity-laden tirade when commenting on the recent social media spat surrounding Vivek Ramaswamy’s controversial views on meritocracy and immigration. In the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election, Lemon has not shied away from offering criticism to MAGA Republicans.
Beginning his monologue, Lemon said, “Finding out you dumb f*cking idiots now you’re just figuring this sh*t out. You’re so f*cking stupid and you deserve it as you f*cking deserve it because you’re so dumb … it’s hypocrisy. So go with me here. Yes, I am gloating over your stupidity and how you were taken, conned. I’m cracking. I’m cackling Kamala,” he said.
Continuing to claim the Make American Great Again movement is a “cult”, he said, “I’ve been co-opted because you’re in a f*cking cult, and you don’t even realize it, because you have stupid, mega brain, and you don’t get it, how stupid and dumb are you? And I’m just gonna let I can’t wait to go through this. Okay, so I’m gonna read this again.”
Lemon went on, “So Krishnan’s appointment triggered an anti-Indian backlash on social media, particularly given his past advocacy for increasing green cards and immigration, brought up.” Mocking conservative who argue for less immigration, Lemon said, “‘Oh, no, immigration, we can’t do the immigration because … We can’t do the immigration because, you know the immigration it triggers some people.”
“You know what they’re saying about the anti-immigrant stuff, right? Who’s in to say that one of the jobs you might be seeking won’t be one of those white jobs?” Lemon said before breaking out into a hysterical laugh. “Oh my gosh,” he repeatedly exclaimed before the clip ended.
The American Tribune reported on other recent comments from Lemon in which he sounded off on Time Magazine after President-elect Trump was named “Time Person of the Year.” Lemon said in that video, “Now, if they wanted to make someone Person of the Year, they would have made someone who…My God, my God …. I’m sure he loves this, right? If they want to make someone Person of the Year, I don’t know they could have done it to with any person, people that they could have done to someone who actually stood for democracy, who stands for democracy in the country.”
“Now you think about what encompasses Person of the Year. Just because you are elected President of the United States does not mean that you should be Person of the Year,” Lemon continued, before calling out Time. “What Time Magazine? What are you doing? Let me ask you, Time Magazine. What do you say to the women who, I guess, still read Time magazine.”

Continuing to speak on behalf of women in America, many of whom voted for Trump, Lemon said, “For the women who are don’t they do like a whole time 100 thing or something, which you know? What about the women who are on that list? What about that? I’m sure some of them will have had dealt dealt with issues that women have to deal with, like discrimination in the workplace. SA all kinds of things.”
