Former CNN host Don Lemon was brutally criticized on social media after mocking former First Lady Melania Trump’s passionate video demanding answers to her husband’s attempted assassination.
Lemon, who was fired by CNN earlier this year, posted a TikTok video of himself reacting to Melania’s video in which she called the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump "horrible" and “distressing.”
In a now-deleted post, Lemon can be seen rolling his eyes and shaking his head, claiming the video looks like artificial intelligence (AI).
He threw his hands in the air when Melania said, “There is definitely more to this story, and we need to uncover the truth.”

Social media called Lemon “sick” and “attention starved.”
Hey @donlemon, so can you have empathy for a human without considering politics for once in your life?

Meanwhile, he was in tears when Jussie Smollett told his ridiculous story.

We should all be distressed when someone tries to kill a former president and actually kills an innocent man in the crowd.

Don Lemon is DESPERATE to be relevant.
