Don Lemon, the former CNN host who was unceremoniously booted from the failing network in 2023, unleashed a profane tirade against Megyn Kelly, calling her a "racist" and telling her to "go f*ck yourself."
As reported by Breitbart, his meltdown came in response to Kelly’s celebration of Joy Reid’s MSNBC show getting the ax due to dismal ratings.
Kelly, who previously had her own stint at NBC before parting ways in 2019, took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the irony of Reid lamenting her show’s cancellation.
Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement
The far-left host, notorious for bashing conservatives and sneering at those she’s helped cancel, suddenly expected sympathy when the tables turned.
“Joy Reid has viciously mocked the tears of every white person she’s helped cancel over the years for some imaginary racial slight. She’s had zero empathy for anyone. Now she wants us to feel sorry for her. WE DON’T."
Reid had gotten emotional over the end of The ReidOut, insisting that her show “had value,” a claim that apparently didn’t resonate with viewers, given its abysmal ratings.

Lemon, clinging to relevance with his YouTube show after being ousted from CNN, decided to come to Reid’s defense. During his broadcast, he took a sip from a Megyn Kelly TODAY mug, a relic from Kelly’s short-lived NBC program, and let loose.

“So let me just say to Megyn Kelly, in my 30-some years as a journalist and my 50-some years as a person of color, go f*ck yourself."
In typical leftist fashion, he played the identity politics card, claiming Kelly had built her career on “being a troll” and accusing her of failing to “support women.”

“Joy Reid is a woman. Megyn Kelly’s a woman. She’s supposed to be all about women, and, you know, support women,” Lemon scoffed, conveniently ignoring that women don’t have to blindly support each other when one of them has spent years spewing divisive rhetoric.
The former CNN talking head didn’t stop there, doubling down on his accusations.
She has spent "every day proving the point that she is a racist and not very supportive of women,” he ranted. But the pièce de résistance of his tantrum came when he declared Kelly, not Reid, to be “the worst person on television.”
Lemon, who infamously labeled 47th and current President Donald Trump a “racist” during his time at CNN, claimed his accusations weren’t opinion but fact.
“When I said Donald Trump, the president of the United States, was racist, it wasn’t my opinion. This isn’t my opinion about Megyn Kelly. The evidence is there,” he insisted.
The irony of Lemon, a man whose career imploded after years of leftist race-baiting and low-rated programming, lecturing anyone on media credibility is rich.
Kelly, unfazed by the predictable meltdown, has yet to respond—perhaps because Lemon’s opinion carries about as much weight as the ratings of his old network.

When Democrats can’t control the narrative they malfunction and go nuts and opt for rage and vulgarity! LOL! Naturally Lemon fell back on the Democrats’ primary attack: screaming “RACIST!” (Their other chestnut, of course, is to scream “NAZI!”) Oh well…nobody cared what Lemon had to say on CNN…even fewer people care now.
Don Lemon is a useless racist fired on CNN failing network. Nuff said!
Being gay didn’t seem to cheer him up. He thinks because he worked in the media for 30 years that somehow made him an intelligent talk show host. LMAO. Go home a suck a friend.
