The following article, After Getting Smoked by Elon Musk During Interview, Don Lemon Goes Back to CNN to Whine About It, was first published on another website.Flag And Cross.
Fired CNN host Don Lemon went running back to the left-wing network to whine that Elon Musk had canceled Lemon’s partnership with the social media platform X following a takedown interview in which Lemon suggested the billionaire was a drug addict and an anti-Semitic white supremacist.
Generally speaking, no sane person wants to work with a hypocritical, crybaby race-baiter like Lemon — let alone one who makes defamatory accusations during an interview.
Musk deftly shut down the former CNN host, saying he’s not required to answer questions from reporters.
“I don’t have to answer questions from reporters, Don,” Musk said. “The only reason I’m doing this interview is because you’re on the X platform and you asked for it. Otherwise, I would not do this interview.”
Lemon — who was fired by CNN in 2023 after making a misogynistic and ageist remark about then-Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley — was dumped by X on Wednesday, shortly after he asked Musk a series of pointed questions whose apparent purpose was to embarrass the X owner.
In an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett on Wednesday night, Lemon made the absurd claim that Musk was responsible for mass shootings.
“He doesn’t understand that that sort of rhetoric that he talks about — the Great Replacement Theory and migrant invasion — that’s what radicalized shooters,” Lemon said.
“The people who go and shoot up people — whether they be Latino people who live in Texas or black people who are in a supermarket in Buffalo or Jewish people who are worshiping — those people use the same rhetoric,” he said.
The “Great Replacement Theory” was a theory promoted in 1947 by Democratic Sen. Theodore Bilbo, who believed there was a movement underway to eradicate the white race by replacing them with non-whites.
