Former CNN anchor Don Lemon’s new "Clip Farmers" podcast is off to a rocky start after he and his co-hosts were discussing the appearance of “MAGA women” — and Lemon took it a step too far.

As his Gen Z co-hosts were saying all MAGA women look the same, they also asked Lemon if Megyn Kelly was “chopped,” which they explain as meaning “not hot.”

“Yeah, she’s chopped,” Lemon replied, before adding, “I think she looks trans.”

“Let’s end on that note,” one of his co-hosts said in between nervous laughs.

But he couldn’t end it fast enough before Lemon added, “Looks clockable,” which means he thinks Kelly is not convincing as a woman — and thus would be easy to identify as transgender.

He went on to call her too skinny and said she wears too much makeup.

Now Lemon is in trouble with his base, as being “transphobic” is a direct assault on leftist values — and he used “trans” in a derogatory way despite speaking out numerous times about “transphobia.”

“So it's OK for Don Lemon to use the word ‘trans’ as a derogatory statement about a woman? Oh, that’s interesting. I thought that was a lovely thing to be trans,” executive producer of “Pat Gray Unleashed” Keith Malinak says.

“This woman looks trans?” Pat Gray chimes in, shocked. “In what universe?”

Don Lemon nailed with fierce backlash for 'trans' slur against Megyn Kelly

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon had previously defended the trans-identifying community, but he undermined that activism when he used the term "trans" as an insult.

Lemon was being interviewed on the “Clip Farmers” podcast when they started mocking the ladies of MAGA. When they arrived at former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, he unleashed the T-word.

'I thought that you couldn't tell if someone is trans. Can't be all about identity and then use it as an insult.'

"I think she looks trans," said Lemon to the shocked hosts.

"Let’s end on that note," said one of the podcast hosts.

"She looks clockable," he added, which is a term to deride trans-identifying people who do not pass for the gender they choose.

The video was widely circulated on social media, where many lambasted Lemon over his comments.

"Don Lemon commenting on how women look? Peak absurdity," replied Charles Gasparino.

"Don Lemon is unbearable to listen to. No wonder he’s been fired from every company he’s been lucky enough to get hired by and had to start a YouTube channel of his own and it’s awful too," read one response.

"I thought that you couldn't tell if someone is trans. Can't be all about identity and then use it as an insult. Funny," said another detractor.

“Asking Don Lemon if a woman is hot is like asking a vegan to recommend a good steakhouse," joked another user.

Lemon had characterized conservative bans on pornographic books in public schools as transphobic in comments from 2023.

“So let’s just be real. These book bans are rooted in anti-blackness and transphobia and queerphobia,” he said at the time.

He also criticized bills restricting drag shows and defended trans-identifying activist Dylan Mulvaney during the Bud Light woke controversy.

Don Lemon calls for 'black people, brown people' to take up arms against ICE

Fresh off being schooled by Chicago residents on how illegal border crossings are indeed criminal, ex-CNN talking head Don Lemon suggested that non-whites in America should take up arms against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

At the outset of his recent appearance on Wajahat Ali's podcast "The Left Hook," Lemon noted, "I'm tired of like all the niceties because that doesn't work in this administration. That doesn't work in this era. You got to dispense with the niceties and ... 'let's just be civil.'"

After expressing the extremist sentiment a recent poll indicated is common to a plurality of liberals, Lemon told Ali, "I think that these are the times that the Second Amendment was written for."

'Words have consequences, and this type of rhetoric is going to get one of our officers killed.'

Ensuring that there could be no confusion as to his meaning, Lemon characterized the Trump administration as "tyrannical," then noted that the Second Amendment's raison d'être is to ensure Americans can fight a tyrannical government.

Blaze News has reached out to Lemon for clarification on whether he meant to incite rebellion against the U.S. government.

Lemon, who previously criticized Republicans for defending the Second Amendment, further suggested that those individuals who are being targeted by ICE "need to really figure out what the Second Amendment is really about and go out, and do it legally, and purchase some things because you never know when someone's going to come to your house and knock on the door and try to take you away."

Later in the podcast, Lemon once again suggested that individuals should be armed and ready in case federal immigration officials come to their residences.

"If you believe in the Second Amendment, if you believe in the Constitution — black people, brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian-American or a Mexican-American or whoever you are — go out in your place where you live and get a gun legally," said Lemon. "Get a license to carry legally, because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment was written for?"

When asked about the apparently inciting nature of Lemon's remarks, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Blaze News, "Don Lemon's comments calling for people to 'arm up' with guns to use against ICE law enforcement officers are unhinged."

"Calling for violence against law enforcement is un-American — officers are already facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them including terrorist attacks, cars being used as weapons, rocks thrown at them, and shot at," continued McLaughlin. "Words have consequences, and this type of rhetoric is going to get one of our officers killed."

Lemon made his recommendation just weeks after a leftist sniper opened fire on the ICE field office in Dallas. While the shooter, Joshua Jahn, had been targeting law enforcement officers, he ultimately hit three detainees — two of whom ultimately perished — then killed himself. The words "ANTI-ICE" were reportedly found engraved on ammunition recovered at the scene of the shooting.

Ali defended Lemon's remarks in a statement to Fox News Digital.

"I only speak for myself, but Don Lemon has a right to express his views in the United States of America thanks to the First Amendment, which is allegedly championed by the Trump administration," said Ali. "I'd assume Republicans would agree with him that Americans have the right to legally bear arms thanks to the Second Amendment. Unless, of course, they only believe that right exists for white Trump supporters? If so, they should admit that publicly."

Don Lemon claims illegal border crossings ‘aren’t criminal’ — gets schooled by Chicago residents

In another man-on-the-street-style interview, Don Lemon has proven yet again that he is devoid of common sense on the topic of illegal immigration — telling a woman mid-interview that crossing the border illegally is “not a criminal act.”

“It’s a misdemeanor,” he added.

The woman, surprised, asked, “So why are they being sent back and saying that they’re breaking the law?”

“That’s the point,” Lemon responded, before doubling down on a misdemeanor not being a criminal act.

“So why charge at all, then, if it’s not a criminal act?” she asked.

“Because we have different levels of crime. Everything is not the same,” Lemon answered.

“So it is crime,” she shot back.

“He’s confused himself now,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray says on “Pat Gray Unleashed.”

“He thinks that because he’s talking to a black woman in Chicago, she’s going to be on his side. That’s the kind of idiot he is, because he’s not exposed to anything but his own little world where he hates Donald Trump and everything Trump does,” Gray says.

“He’s not aware of the fact, I’ll bet you, that so many of these Chicago residents are fed up to here with all this nonsense. They don’t want illegal aliens taking their jobs. They don’t want them in our country,” he continues.

In the interview, Lemon continues doubling down on the idea that crossing the border illegally is not a crime, while the woman and another man that he’s interviewing grow more insistent that it is.

“You’re breaking the rules, but you’re not necessarily breaking a law,” Lemon argued, and when asked what happens if you break the rules, he answered, “You suffer the consequences.”

“No one is saying no one should suffer the consequences. You guys are getting things mixed up,” he added.

Gray is shocked, commenting, “Don, you’ve lost.”

Don Lemon stunned by black New Yorker's response to mass deportations during live streaming video

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon struck out when he tried to get a New Yorker to criticize the mass deportation policies of President Donald Trump on his livestream video.

Lemon talked to several people walking around in New York City before he sat down with a black man who said he was enthusiastic about the raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

'I want for him to concentrate on nothing but immigration and getting them out of here!'

"How do you feel about the ICE raids?" Lemon asked the unidentified man.

"I feel good about them," the man said.

"You want them to crack down?" Lemon asked.

"More, yes!" the man responded. "Been wanting it for years — all my life!"

Lemon asked if he supported federal agents "roughing people up" during raids.

"Nah, nah. That s**t crazy. Don't put your hands on nobody, that's crazy. Don't hurt nobody. Do it the legal way," he replied.

"At the same time, get them out of here!" he smirked. "Get them all out of here. Please and thank you!"

He raised his fist in the air and said loudly, "Trump four more years for that! Just for that!"

Lemon asked him if he voted for Trump, and he said he did not because he lost his voting rights when he was 22 years old. But he went on to say that he would be happy if the president served a third term.

"Just because I want for him to concentrate on nothing but immigration and getting them out of here, just for that!" he added.

"Well, you’re a cool dude," Lemon said at the end of the interview.

"Let me give a shout-out to my mommy!" the man replied.

The Department of Homeland Security said that 2 million illegal immigrants have either been deported or self-deported from the U.S. in the first 250 days of the president's second term.

Lemon was fired from CNN in April 2023 and began creating his own content on social media. He made headlines in December when he launched into an expletive-filled rant over the fissure that broke out between Trump supporters over H-1B visas.

Don Lemon SLAMS white men, Joy Reid redefines fascism

Don Lemon and Joy Reid appear to be in a competition for who can sound the least intelligent in front of an audience, and BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock isn’t sure who is winning.

“Men who look like you, men who vote like you, and men who sound like you. White men, something is broken. Something is cracked deep inside when so many of you believe the answer to fear, to loss, to change is violence,” Lemon said on “The Don Lemon Show.”

“Are you listening to me? I hope I’m saying it loud enough for the people in the back,” he added.

“Don Lemon has always been difficult for me to understand. This feels almost intentionally stupid so that he can be mocked and ridiculed by people that disagree with him. So that he can spark a conversation,” Whitlock says on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

“Have you looked at the statistics on the violence among black men? Did you look at the violence that happened as a result of George Floyd and Jacob Blake and Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown and Eric Garner and so on and so forth? Are you kidding? Are you kidding me?” he adds.

But Lemon, of course, isn’t alone in his ridiculous statement, as former MSNBC host Joy Reid had to throw some nonsense out into the universe as well.

“If you go back before the 20th century, there were no income taxes. There were no regulations on business. You could earn as much money as you want, leave 100% of it to your children with no taxes. That’s the world they want back. And to get it back, they need society to change. They need people to be less modern. They need people to want fewer things,” Reid said on BET while attempting to equate the Trump administration to fascism.

“When I heard that I was like, ‘Is she talking about heaven?' No taxes. I get to earn as much as I want. I get to leave it to my family. Man, that sounds awesome. When we say ‘Make America Great Again,’ if that’s what they’re talking about, man, sign me up," Whitlock says.

When deciding who made the “dumber statement,” Whitlock’s panel is having a hard time — but Wilfred Reilly believes it was Reid.

“It’s a tough competition, but I’d probably have to say Joy Reid. You know, Don Lemon, I mean, I think everyone on the panel knows this, but you know, crime is high across the board in the USA, but if you look at murder, black murder rate — seven times the white murder rate,” Reilly says.

“That’s an absurd, racist thing to say,” he says. “But Joy Reid … she doesn’t know what fascism is. I mean, fascism is, you know, it’s the system, business, and government working together.”

“She went through, ‘You’re not going to pay taxes, the government’s not going to be involved in every aspect of life. You can leave 100% of your money to your son or your little girl,'” he continues.

“I would be very comfortable … going back to that world,” he adds.

Don Lemon dodges facts for feelings on trans shooter

The transgender Minneapolis shooter may have had anti-Semitic writing as well as a threat to “kill” President Trump scrawled all over his weapons — but ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon isn’t letting that stop him from believing the shooter could be conservative.

“The Minneapolis shooter is reportedly trans, and now the right, MAGA, is losing their minds over it, making it a big deal, an issue. Here’s where the ignorance comes in. They’re so ignorant, because trans people can be of any different, many different political persuasions,” Lemon said in a selfie video uploaded to social media.

“We need sensible gun legislation in this country that goes along with mental health issues. You can be a trans person and have mental health issues just like you can be a straight white man, who it usually is doing these things, and have mental health issues as well.”

“Trans people can also be conservative. Could be trans and it could be a trans conservative person. I actually know trans conservative people, I have interviewed one,” Lemon continued, before showing a video of him interviewing a transgender woman who claimed to be a Trump supporter.

“It’s a safe bet to say that the trans person is probably a Democrat,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray argues on “Pat Gray Unleashed. “Especially when it had ‘kill Trump’ on the rifle and ‘Jews’ that he used.”

“Come on. That’s not a Republican. I mean, have you even looked into the Don?” he adds.

Lemon’s proof that the shooter could be conservative came in the form of a man-on-the-street-style video he did once where he interviewed a transgender conservative.

“I walked away from the Democrat plantation. I had to. Just ‘cause I’m transgender doesn’t mean I need to be a Democrat,” the man told Lemon.

“She absolutely played him,” Jeffy comments.

“Absolutely,” Gray adds.
