CNN anchor Don Lemon called the televised meeting between President Trump and rapper Kanye West on Thursday a “minstrel show” that he could barely stomach to watch.

“I have no animosity for Kanye West. I’m just going to be honest and I may get in a lot of trouble for it. I actually feel bad for him,” Lemon, who like West is African-American, said during a panel discussion after the afternoon Oval Office event. “What I saw was a minstrel show today. Him in front of all these white people embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African-Americans because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones, watching this, cringing.”
