Read our privacy policy Don Lemon’s gleeful and profane celebration of the ongoing MAGA squabble over H-1B visas left several Fox News personalities outraged on Tuesday, with one panelist fuming whether the former CNN star thought her Donald Trump-supporting parents were “stupid.” During a recent broadcast of his YouTube show, Lemon joked that “MAGA-land” was in a “civil war,” noting that “America First” hardliners have been raging against “tech bros” Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy for advocating for more skilled immigrant workers. Who’s to say that one of the jobs you might be seeking won’t be one of those white jobs?” Fox News panelist Kara Frederick wonders if Don Lemon was calling her parents “stupid” when he profanely mocked MAGA supporters over the H-1B squabble. Comparing Lemon’s profane mockery to Hillary Clinton’s infamous “deplorables” remarks, something Fox News has done repeatedly with other comments made by liberals, Fox News contributor Joe Concha agreed that it was “bad politics” before going on a tirade against the ex-CNN anchor. No!” Like Concha the hour before, Frederick also compared Lemon’s remarks to Clinton’s “deplorables” moment, adding that if liberals “want to keep doing that,” then Democrats “will keep losing elections.” Fox News contributor Nicole Parker would later agree with Simonetti that this was a “losing strategy” for Democrats, claiming that she had friends who were previously on the “Never Trump list” who came around and voted for the incoming president this past November.
