I’m starting to think Don Lemon doesn’t like women. I know that’s shocking but hear me out. Lemon hosted a podcast on his You Tube channel featuring two guys who I think work for him, John Cotter and Chris Miglioranzi. They call it the Clip Famers Podcast and I guess the idea is that Lemon is reacting to things online with a couple of guys who are 30+ years younger than he is.
Most of the 30-minute show was just the two young guys mocking right-wing people in various ways and Lemon chiming in and agreeing with them. Lemon’s YouTube channel has just under a million subscribers and after three days this podcast has nearly 13k views.
In any case, at the end of this clip one of the guys is trying on Lemon’s glasses (it’s riveting content) and he makes a joke saying “I’m Don Lemon, hey Megyn Kelly.” Lemon laughs and asks him where that is coming from. The the other guy says he has a real question. “Is Megyn Kelly chopped?” Chopped is slang for unattractive. That leads to this exchange:
Don Lemon says that Megyn Kelly is “not hot and looks trans..”
Are liberals using “trans” as an insult now..!? lmaoo pic.twitter.com/YfZC539Ltw

After agreeing Kelly is “chopped,” Lemon adds “I think she looks trans.” He went on to say she was “clockable” which is apparently slang meaning someone is identifiable as trans.
Even apart from the fact that this insult is completely gratuitous and untrue, since when did trans advocate Don Lemon start using “looks trans” as an insult?
“For a man who praises trans people, #DonLemon sure feels comfortable using trans as an insult,” Jeff Varner posted in response.
“The Left is using “Trans” as an insult now?” wondered another.
“Hypocrisy at its finest. When it’s convenient, principles fly out the window,” another user wrote.
Graham Platner, the left’s candidate to replace Susan Collins in Maine, just got in a bit of trouble for old posts in which he used “gay” as an insult. Isn’t that what Lemon is doing here? It seems those rules of behavior don’t apply if you’re gay and left-wing like Don Lemon.
Lemon must have gotten a few calls because he posted another video in which he responds to the backlash to his own comments. He kind of apologizes to the trans community for his “joke” but he concludes by attacking Megyn Kelly once again. “Perhaps I should apologize to the trans community because no one wants to look like Megyn Kelly,” he said.
So far as I can tell, Kelly herself hasn’t responded to any of this. I’m sure she will tomorrow but it looks like she’s holding off for today.
But I can’t wrap this up without pointing out that Lemon was “promoted” to a morning show which he co-hosted with two women anchors. But his comments on the show led to him being fired. Remember this classic in which he said Nikki Haley was not in her prime?
Don Lemon: “Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime. Sorry, when a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s, and 30s, and maybe 40s…”
Poppy Harlow: “Are you talking about prime for like child bearing?”

There were reports at the time that female staffers at CNN threatened to quit if Lemon wasn’t fired. Ultimately he was fired a couple months later. So, as I said up front, it seems like maybe Lemon has a problem with women, at least any woman to the right of Mao.
Here’s the last few minutes of the podcast if you’re interested in seeing the whole exchange in context.
