CNN host Don Lemon said that conservative guests appearing on his show have “absolutely” admitted that they weren’t being fully truthful while defending President Trump.
On an episode of “The Jamie Weinstein show,” which ran April 11, Weinstein asked Lemon if pro-Trump CNN guests ever admit to not believing what they’re saying.
“I won’t give names, but absolutely,” Lemon replied.
“I think that they feel that they have to defend him, on a personal level, not anything the network is telling them to do,” Lemon elaborated.
Weinstein then asked why Lemon continued to invite guests on his show who weren’t being truthful.
“Yeah, and they’ll say they are speaking for the Trump supporter who doesn’t have a voice,” Lemon said.
The CNN host also said that although the guests may not completely believe what they’re saying, he continued to invite some Trump supporters on the show because it was “hard, and it was harder in the beginning, to find someone in support of Donald Trump to come on the air.”
