Three Key Takeaways:
- Don Lemon stunned Bill Maher by claiming that black Trump supporters are irrational and only align with MAGA for fame and money, a remark that Maher found deeply insulting.
- Lemon’s controversial views on black Republicans sparked further outrage, as he accused them of being opportunistic rather than genuinely supporting Trump’s policies.
- Lemon’s comments reflect his ongoing struggles with Trump supporters, as he continues to express disdain, including past insults like calling Trump voters “f****** idiots.”
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon and comedian Bill Maher are both left-wing Democrats.
But Lemon is too woke for Bill Maher.
And Bill Maher’s jaw hit the floor when Don Lemon revealed how he feels about black Trump supporters.
Liberal comedian Bill Maher has been speaking out against the radical Left’s grip on the Democrat Party since the pandemic when he voiced his opposition to COVID mandates.
Maher is a fierce opponent of censorship and an outspoken critic of the woke identity politics of the Left, which he believes cost the Democrat Party the election.
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon recently appeared on Maher’s popular Club Random podcast.
Lemon and Maher are both Democrats who can’t stand Donald Trump.
But Lemon is suffering from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) that prevents his brain from working.
Lemon quickly labeled all Trump supporters as nothing but a bunch of “f****** racists.”
But it was his comments about black Trump supporters that stunned Maher.
Donald Trump made massive inroads with black and hispanic voters over the past eight years.
Trump earned the votes from 46 percent of Hispanics and 21 percent of black men in the last election.
Lemon lashed out against blacks who support Donald Trump and questioned their sincerity.
“I don’t think you can be black and be a rational MAGA person, I think you can be black and be a Republican,” Lemon said.
Maher called Lemon’s comments “very insulting.”
“Well, the truth is often insulting,” Lemon shot back.
He then claimed that the black voters who support Trump only do it for fame and money.
“When I see, not all black Republicans, but when I see a black MAGA person who is carrying Donald Trump’s water and they know that he’s lying, it is the shortest line to the front,” Lemon said. “If you’re black, you’re just in line with a bunch of other Democrats that are doing the same thing you are doing,” he continued. “But if you become a black MAGA person, it becomes ‘Whoa! Let’s book this person – let’s put him on television.’”

MAHER: “I think they would find that very insulting.”

This is not Lemon’s first profane-laced rant about Trump supporters.
In December, he called Trump voters “f****** idiots” and mocked their “stupid MAGA brain.”
“You’re so f****** stupid and you deserve it,” he said at the time. “You f****** deserve it because you’re so dumb.”
The last few years have been rough for Don Lemon.
After 17 years on the air, CNN fired him in 2023 over nasty remarks he made about Nikki Haley’s age.
When his plans for a show on X failed, he moved to TikTok where he interviewed people on the street.
But his TikTok failed to gain traction and he eventually settled for hosting a podcast on Youtube.
Lemon represents the Fake News Media that Americans have rejected in recent years.
