CNN journalist Don Lemon was on his program with two cohorts of his Rick Wilson and Wajahat Ali, where Wilson made a joke about Ukraine and started mocking Trump supporters, to which Lemon found hilarious and started laughing hysterically on the air. This segment was deemed unprofessional and Lemon received a lot of backlash for his participation in it and how he acted. Speculation arose as to whether Lemon would address the segment and he did. Lemon came out with a makeshift "apology" that was more an explanation than exhibiting any accountability. Listen:
That is the biggest non-apology if I've ever seen one! That was more of a hey I did nothing wrong, I thought it was funny, deal with it take than an apology. Does anyone believe for one second that he did not hear any other part of the conversation mocking supporters and was only laughing about the crane comment? I certainly don't. Despicable.
