While slurring some of his words like a stroke victim, Don Lemon stumbled through a jaw-dropping X video post last week, ignorantly urging illegal immigrants to grab guns and “fight back” under the Second Amendment.
The ex-CNN anchor, now a YouTube nobody, didn’t just trip over his tongue—sounding like he’d chugged Merlot, hit the dentist, or got new veneers that don’t fit—he face-planted into a legal dumpster fire.
Newsflash, Don: It’s illegal for undocumented folks to buy or possess firearms under federal law (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)). This isn’t just a whoopsie; it’s the latest skid mark in Lemon’s long, DEI-paved slide from primetime to pathetic.
His probably booze-soaked, bitter blabber proves he’s a clueless has-been, whining from the sidelines while his career circles the drain.
Let’s rewind. Lemon’s 2025 X meltdown—pushing illegals to arm up “to protect themselves” (or some garbled nonsense)—shows he’s not just ignorant but dangerously out of touch. The Gun Control Act of 1968 bars non-citizens without legal status from buying guns, period. ATF forms require proof of lawful residency; felons, fugitives, and illegals get a hard no.
Lemon’s call to arms isn’t just stupid—it’s incitement to crime, dressed up as activism. Was he sloshed, high, or just slurring from new chompers? The cringe was palpable, his words wobbling like a toddler on skates. X users roasted him: “
@DonLemon sounds like he’s auditioning for a barstool, not a newsdesk,” one quipped.
Another: “Merlot musings from a washed-up hack—stick to YouTube, Don.”
His 1.9M followers barely blinked—most replies were bots or trolls, not fans. Lemon’s life is a DEI fairy tale gone sour. Plucked from local news obscurity, he rode affirmative action to CNN’s spotlight in the 2000s, less for talent than for checking boxes—Black, gay, outspoken. His early gigs? Fluff like Don Lemon Tonight, where he’d fumble facts and smirk through scandals.
By 2016, he was CNN’s go-to for race-baiting hot takes, but his “hard-hitting” interviews—like grilling Trump supporters or crying over BLM—felt rehearsed, not raw. Ratings tanked; viewers smelled inauthenticity. In 2023, CNN axed him after 17 years, citing “divisive” rants and a sexism spat with Vivek Ramaswamy’s wife. Lemon whined it was a “surprise,” but X lit up: “Don’s DEI shield finally cracked—good riddance.”
His pivot to X Spaces were a flop. His Tim Pool/Dave Rubin show crashed after three episodes, mocked as “Lemon’s Lemonade Stand of Bad Takes.”Now, holed up on YouTube with 50K-view vids, Lemon’s a shadow of his 2010s self. Then, slurring through a Second Amendment lecture he clearly didn’t research? Really, Don?
Federal law aside, his “fight back” spiel ignores reality: illegals caught with guns face deportation or jail faster than you can say “ATF raid.” Yet Don, in his MD2020 haze, thinks he’s Malcolm X reincarnated, not a 59-year-old relic who peaked a decade ago. His slurs—whether from liquor, drugs, or bad dental work—only amplify the embarrassment.
Another X user nailed it: “Lemon’s mouth moves like his career: sloppy and going nowhere.”
Lemon’s always been a lightweight—flubbing stats (like claiming “90% of crime” is Black-on-Black in 2014, debunked by FBI data) or botching history (calling Columbus a “colonizer” in 2020, ignoring timelines). His DEI halo let him coast, but talent never caught up.
Post-CNN, he’s a caricature: bitter, broke (relatively—$12M net worth, per 2024 estimates), and begging for relevance. His X followers? Half bots. His “fight back” post got 200 likes, mostly from “win $10K!” spam accounts.
Real fans? Crickets.
Lemon’s latest proves he’s not just ignorant—he’s a danger to his own cause. Urging illegal acts while slurring like a barfly isn’t activism; it’s a cry for help. X users smell blood: “Don’s auditioning for a padded room, not a comeback”
