CNN host Don Lemon went off the rails during his show’s opening Thursday night, saying he’s had to cut his President Trump-supporting friends out of his life, comparing them to drug addicts who “have to hit rock bottom” and seek help.

The news anchor told colleague Chris Cuomo that he’s purged his “non-sensical” friends who support the president — comments that later got him roasted on Twitter for being “hateful.”

“I had to get rid of them, they’re too far gone,” Lemon said, noting that he grew up in the “red state” of Louisiana. “I think they have to hit rock bottom like an addict, right?

“And they have to want to get help, they have to want to know the truth, they have to want to live in reality, they have to want to be responsible not only for other people’s lives but for their lives.”

People quickly responded on Twitter, panning Lemon for the remarks, including prominent Trump supporter Ashley StClair, who spoofed the anchor in a video in which she tearfully admits that she’s addicted to “red pills.”

She also tweeted, “Don Lemon is addicted to being an idiot.”

They may have been HIS friends, but he was clearly never a friend to them. Good riddance, I'd say.

He's a biased db, and CNN is a biased, one-sided, closed-minded club of leftist morons with an agenda. They're not even remotely objective or impartial, hence they have no credibility. They all feel self-righteous and feel like they're in this woke little club, fighting the good fight. Naive idiots.

everyone should be cut off from him. He should be behind bars for inciting a riot in St. Louis. He was there questioning and inserting lies to get everyone angry including Michael Brown's step father. All the evidence is caught on camera and yet, here he is, still walking free, crying white privilege and black oppression/racism.

“I had to get rid of them, they’re too far gone,”

Translation: "When I cried about Orange Man Bad, they kept using too many facts to argue with me. I can't tolerate that."

This is just one of many hypocritical things Leftists do. Lemon has no problem whatsoever about cutting ties with people in his life who like Trump, but I'll bet he would bark at the moon in rage if he heard about families who cut ties with their homosexual members.

Lemon is an idiot who has no concept of what "truth", "reality", and "responsible" mean. The people he has cut off are better off without him in their lives.
