Don Lemon saw his contract with X canceled after a contentious interview with owner Elon Musk. Buck Sexton believes it’s the same old, same old from the CNN anchor.
While discussing the first episode of The Don Lemon Show Monday, Sexton noted he had a past history with Lemon from his time as a CNN contributor, and his memories weren’t fond ones.
“I’m trying to think of how to say this on radio without getting in trouble. A dumpster fire of low-caliber garbage. There we go. It’s just not a good news program,” said Sexton. “But I was being paid at the time by CNN, and when you’re being paid and you’re on TV and you have no money and you have a contract, you go on the shows they tell you to go on.”
When co-host Clay Travis shared he hadn’t watched the entire interview, outside of a roughly two-minute clip of Musk railing against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts in America, calling Lemon’s encapsulation of the topic “dumb”, Buck Sexton shared he had watched the entire hour-long interview.
His takeaways from the conversation were that Lemon hasn’t learned anything since his 2023 ouster from CNN.
“He does the passive-aggressive thing though, of ‘Hey, so let me ask you a normal question.’ Then ‘Why are you such a racist?’ And then ‘Hey, how’s Tesla going? And why are you such a racist?’ in and out in and out.”
Lemon released his discussion with Musk Monday morning, with more than 1.3 million views on X and 500,000 views on YouTube for the debut.
