Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was clearly upset by the news of President-elect Donald Trump being named Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year.”
In the Thursday recent episode of “The Don Lemon Show,” shared on his YouTube channel, Lemon showed the cover featuring Trump and expressed his disapproval of the magazine’s choice in an impassioned outburst.
“They [Time] could have done it to someone who actually stood for democracy,” Lemon, who is trying to remain relevant after his ignominious departure from CNN, complained.
Immediately afterward, Lemon appeared to contradict himself by saying that Trump was democratically elected, but that still did not qualify him for Time’s award.
“Just because you are elected president of the United States does not mean that you should be ‘Person of the Year,’” he said.
