CNN's Don Lemon boasts that he 'had to get rid of' friends from red states because of their views on coronavirus

CNN's Don Lemon revealed on Thursday that he had to cut loose friends, who he said were from "red states" who were "too far gone."

What are the details?
Lemon made the remarks during a handoff between him and CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.

"I have many people who I love in my life," he began. "And yeah, I come from a red state. I've lived in several red states. There are a lot of friends I had to get rid of because they are so nonsensical when it comes to this issue. They have the whole — every single talking point that they hear on state TV and that they hear from this president. They repeat it and they are blinded by it."

"I had to get rid of them because they're too far gone," Lemon said of these people. "I try and I try and I try, they say something really stupid, and then I'll show them the science, and I'll give them information, and they still repeat those talking points."
