CNN’s Don Lemon laments Trump-era ‘toxicity’ and trolls, says he may move on: reports
Fox News ^ | June 06 2019 | Dom Calicchio

The news – plus barbs from social media trolls and other critics -- may be too much for CNN’s Don Lemon to bear much longer.

The host of “CNN Tonight” told an audience in New York City on Thursday that the current “level of toxicity” in society – which he attributed to the Trump presidency – has him questioning whether he’ll still be on the air when the 2020 presidential election rolls around, according to reports.

“I don’t know if it’s worth this level of toxicity,” the 53-year-old Lemon said about continuing in his current position, the Daily Beast reported.

We are wearing them out. The left is too emotional and tire easily.

“I’m black and gay on cable television in prime time”

The grievance parade has passed you by, has been.

Your intersectionality score no longer cuts the mustard. Perhaps if you were a black gay TRANS WOMAN MUSLIM, you might have something to offer.

But the boss wants a younger thing anyhow.

Ditto Maddow! They took a masive hit after Russiagate collapsed. CNN now has 761,000 viewers in Prime time viewing! That is a serious drop. Maddow alone lost 500,000 viewers according to Nolte.

Nobody cares what this 53-year old pervert thinks. Nobody.

I agree with Trump, Lemon is the stupidest man on TV.

Lemon’s even lost the rabidly anti-Trump NYT. It is obvious that he’s got to go.

You can't because he's perpetually having his period.

Sounds like Lemon is running away fast. Maybe a trip to the mini-Bar in Dominican republic will help.

There are more nasty trolls on the left than the right. Not to mention more physical ones.

The level of toxicity is because of the resistance to a duly elected president. There’s zero toxicity coming from the president (unless perhaps you’re an illegal).

I’ve watched all of the Trump rallies - no toxicity. Just ordinary Americans, not at all hateful.

He is a unhappy gay guy. Calling a homosexual GAY is a misnomer of epic proportions. They are miserable perverts. They are in defiance of the natural laws of God.

Why would anyone wish another person would commit suicide? Stop it freepers, you’re better than that.

“My thoughts, precisely....Lemon’s getting the old heave-ho.”

Get rid of Lemon, hire Coulter for a diversified look and watch your ratings soar. Imagine if CNN had a show called “The Conservatives”. It would be like The View, but the hosts are Coulter, Crowley, Owens, Guilfoyle and Perino.

I know I would watch that show every night.

CNN and most of the MSM is propaganda. Americans don’t react well to crap like that.

This attention whore will chain himself to his chair before he ever voluntarily walks away from his show.
