Don Lemon: 'Had to get rid of' friends who support Trump

CNN anchor Don Lemon on Thursday said that he “had to get rid of” friends supporting President Trump "because they're too far gone," adding that he would be friends with them again if “they want to live in reality.”

The commentary came during a handoff between anchor Chris Cuomo and Lemon.

“I had to get rid of them because they're too far gone,” Lemon said to Cuomo of his Trump-supporting friends. “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 the information, and they still repeat those talking points.
