Why are Don, Joy and Wajahat framing recent events as rooted in white supremacy instead of economic anxiety?
Hey, everyone. We have an ailing Don Lemon who is here and a Joanne Reed who's coming in a second. And Don and me in our pajamas. But he says, you know what? Even though I'm sick, even though I'm tired, I'm going to make it. because we here are going to drag the racists, the hate mongers, the losers, the nerds, the freaks, the Marjorie Taylor Greene's, the Donald Trump's, the Nick Fuentes's. I was just telling Don, Don was on my show last time and he got into a lot of trouble because they clipped up what he was saying, which was perfectly normal and fine, and made it seem that he was inciting violence against ICE. And I was telling Don, I've been in his position the past week and a half. They have lost their minds because I was responding to Donald Trump's hateful Thanksgiving post.
And since then, the outright xenophobia against immigrants. And I did this, I would say, very polite rant against white supremacists and white nationalists. And Don, I said they're losers. I said we were in the multicultural coalition, which includes white people. have the better culture, the better food, the better music. They have the better story. And these people have already lost because no matter how hard they try, the world is multicultural. And even if they kick the rest of us out, if they do, they kick out all black and brown and Asian people, overnight, America will turn into a shithole. Oh, Don, you're from the South. I think they call it hit dogs holler. And now the dogs are hollering, and one of the dogs is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Can you tell us your thoughts about what you've witnessed over the past week where MAGA's turning on each other?
Well, let me just say this. If we got rid of multiculturalism, first of all, the food would be terrible. The music would be terrible. The fashion would be terrible, you know, because now people are wearing, you know, they're basically copying, you know, the brown and black people influence in society. It's always we have an outsized role in the influence in society. And thank goodness. But what I've learned is, is that and I said it this morning. On my show, I said that, you know, when you build a movement on lies, on conspiracy theories, on QAnon, on Pizzagate, on telling people that, you know, a free and fair election was stolen, when you build a movement on that, at some point it's going to come crumbling down.
Because it's built on lies. And now they're all realizing that everything that they said was built on lies and conspiracy theories. You've got Milo Yiannopoulos sort of attacking everyone, claiming, you know, making claims that he believes that Charlie Kirk was gay. He's trying to out Benny Johnson.
I didn't know that. Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if you saw that. He was on Tim Pool's show and he said, you know, that Charlie Kirk and his wife were divorcing. I think that he's gay on with no less. It was Tim Pool and George Santos and Milo Yiannopoulos. And so Milo Yiannopoulos was claiming that he's gay and that – meaning Charlie Kirk – and that Benny Johnson is gay and that there was some other person who is gay. And George Santos says, you're going to get sued. He goes, I've never been sued because what I'm telling you is the truth. You've got to find all that. They were going back and forth. Benny Johnson threatened to sue. Milo Yiannopoulos came back and said, do you really want to lose a lawsuit to Milo Yiannopoulos of all people?
And so you have that. And then you have Tim Pool, who just, I don't know if it was this morning or last night, went nuclear on Candace Owens, calling her see you next Tuesday for I can't tell you how many times. Because, you know, she has her certain feeling about what happened to Charlie Kirk. It's really crazy. And so. Even in his when he went berserk, he said that the MAGA movement is fracturing and it is. And I think more people are going to drop out of the movement. More lawmakers are going to go the way of Marjorie Taylor Greene because it was all built on a lie and a fantasy.
