Is Don Lemon The Next CNN Star to Get Fired?

When this week is over, will there be any anchors left at CNN?

That’s the question many people are asking, as calls to fire Don Lemon now grow louder and louder.

This news comes on the heels of Chris Cuomo’s firing for helping his brother smear the women accusing him of sexual harassment, as well as a reported “sexual harassment” claim against Chris.

And the cries for Lemon to get fired are equally serious.

During his “hate hoax” trial, Jussie Smollett testified under oath that CNN host Don Lemon tipped him off that Chicago cops did not believe his “MAGA attack” story when the news first broke.

So, Lemon inserted himself into a criminal case, likely using his CNN sources, and tipped off the “bad guy.”

Wow.

Daily Mail reported that CNN has come under pressure to fire Don Lemon after it was revealed he contacted former Empire star Jussie Smollett to tell him Chicago police didn’t believe his story.

Smollett, who is gay, testified in court Monday that the CNN anchor sent him a text message warning the 39-year-old actor that detectives didn’t believe his tale of being been beaten in the middle of the night by two white men wearing MAGA hats during a homophobic attack in 2019.

Lemon, 55, didn’t mention the revelation on his show Monday night and remained mum about the explosive claim during another segment about the trial on Tuesday.

Lemon, who is also gay, did not respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment.

Republican activist Jack Posobiec accused Lemon of ‘obstructing justice’ after pulling up a 2019 tweet where the anchor said he had talked to Smollett ‘every day’ following the attack.

‘Today we found out Don Lemon was helping Jussie obstruct justice,’ he tweeted on Tuesday.

Author Nick Adams also slammed CNN for not firing the anchor ‘immediately.’

‘If Don Lemon tipped off Jussie Smollett about police investigating the hate crime hoax, CNN should fire him immediately!’

The calls to dismiss the host of CNN’s 10 pm show, Don Lemon Tonight, come less than a week after CNN fired Chris Cuomo, another primetime host, for advising his brother Governor Andrew Cuomo in his sex pest scandal, crafting statements for him and using his journalistic sources to investigate some of his accusers.

CNN dragged its heels in disciplining Cuomo, despite a swell of public outcry, before eventually firing him on Saturday.

Here’s what people online are saying:

“Don Lemon texted Jussie Smollett and told him the cops doubted his story. Fire Don Lemon!!”

“After Jussie Smollett’s testimony that Don Lemon tipped him off to the Chicago PD not believing his story… he should be the next to get tanked from CNN…”

“@JussieSmollett testified that @donlemon texted him and alerted Smollett that the cops doubted his story. Lemon had never acknowledged this. Last night on @CNN Lemon discussed the trial, but did not mention his role in alerting Smollett. @ChrisCuomo was unavailable for comment…”

“CNN should fire Don Lemon for colluding with Jussie Smollett!”

“If Don Lemon tipped off Jussie Smollett about police investigating the hate crime hoax, CNN should fire him immediately!”

“If CNN fires Don Lemon, he’ll blame it on white supremacy”

Let’s not forget, Don Lemon is also facing very credible sexual assault allegations, where a witness says he saw what Lemon did to a server in the Hamptons.

So, this is like history repeating itself…

We have Don Lemon using his sources to help his buddy while having a sexual assault case in the wings.

Same as Chris.

They’ve got some real winners working at CNN, don’t they?
