Don Lemon insulted black “MAGA” Republicans on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” Podcast. The former CNN anchor says that he doesn’t have a problem with black Republicans but he does not appreciate black “MAGAs.” He didn’t quite define what a black MAGA is, but it is quite simple to understand what he means. If a Republican person has the same ideas as Don Lemon, then he supports them.
People like former RNC Chair Michael Steele and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro fit into the archetype of the Republicans Don Lemon appreciates. These people agree with everything the left does and they hate President Donald Trump. If someone likes Trump and his policies, then they are who Don Lemon hates. What Lemon should say is that he supports those with similar viewpoints as him regardless of the title next to their name, as most people do. Republicans feel the same way about Democrats (or former Democrats) like RFK, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
The reason why “black MAGAs” were brought up is because these individuals support Trump and they sometimes get more attention than Don Lemon himself. So he is mad for two reasons. The first is that a group of people support the man he hates. The second is that these people get attention that Lemon believes is undeserved and should belong to him as a black news man.
