Late-night host Bill Maher pushed back against Don Lemon after the ex-CNN anchor complained about having to live in uncomfortable spaces as a black, gay man.

Lemon made a guest appearance on Real Time with Bill Maher when Maher mentioned the recent uptick in antisemitic protests happening across college campuses in the United States. Lemon and Maher, along with fellow guest Scott Galloway, all condemned the protests, with Lemon arguing that a protest “teaches some of these students to deal with discomfort,” though he stressed he was “not minimizing what’s going on.”
