Don Lemon unleashed an F-bomb-laden rant on Trump’s military of supporters, mocking the MAGA crowd’s “stupidity” amid the immigration visa debate that’s dividing Republicans forward of the brand new presidential time period.
“You’re so f-cking silly and also you deserve it. You f-cking deserve it since you are so dumb. … Sure, I’m gloating over your stupidity,” started his video, which circulated on social media on Dec. 29. It was first posted on X by consumer @JebraFaushay, who is looking for a “psychological well being verify” on the previous CNN host.
“Somebody please do a psychological well being verify on Don Lemon. He acquired so excited that he overheated and was pressured to unzipper his turtleneck,” she wrote, later saying dismissively, “he’s slipping into hysteria.” The amens shortly piled on. “This man is the epitome of a DEI clown,” wrote one commenter on the put up, adopted by, “What a clown. The nearer we get to the twentieth, the extra unhinged they grow to be.”
However it’s Trump supporters who look like unhinged. The MAGA crowd is having a collective meltdown over the H1-B visa program, and it began percolating on Dec. 22, when Trump named Sriram Krishnan, an Indian enterprise capitalist identified for his pro-immigration views, as senior adviser on synthetic intelligence.
Whereas Krishnan’s appointment sparked anti-Indian and anti-immigration sentiment, the backlash exploded when former Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy posted a tweet on Dec. 26 that criticized U.S. tradition for breeding “laziness and mediocrity.”
Elon Musk waded into the morass the following day on X, telling anti-immigration MAGA supporters to “F**okay your self within the face” and vowing to “go to warfare on this challenge the likes of which you can’t presumably comprehend.” Ramaswamy and Musk will quickly co-head the brand new Division of Authorities Effectivity (DOGE).
A bitter debate amongst Trump voters has ensued, with many spewing racist rhetoric on-line over fears of being changed by “foreigners” within the office.
Lemon couldn’t include his glee over the rift amongst MAGA supporters, laughing at their ignorance all through the video and claiming MAGA is a “cult.”
“You may have been co-opted since you’re in a f-cking cult, and also you don’t even understand it trigger you may have a silly MAGA mind, and also you don’t get it. How silly and dumb are you?” Lemon requested within the video. “So Krishnan’s appointment triggered an anti-Indian backlash on social media, significantly given his previous advocacy for rising inexperienced playing cards and immigration broadly. Oh no! Immigration, we will’t do the immigration!” he stated sarcastically.
Many main tech corporations like Tesla, Google, Apple, and Amazon depend on extremely expert employees from different nations to remain aggressive, and the variety of foreign-born staff within the U.S. who’ve H-1B visas has elevated over the previous eight years, in line with the Financial Occasions.
Trump has been spouting anti-immigration views and speaking about mass deportation for years, and his stance on these points doubtless earned him votes and contributed to each presidential wins. However in relation to H-1B visas, he’s siding with the billionaires — and MAGA supporters are furious and feeling duped.
That is all to the amusement of Lemon, who stated, “You dumb f-cking idiots, Now, you’re simply figuring this sh-t out?”
