Former CNN host Don Lemon unintentionally promoted a website for Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh’s new film, “Am I racist?,” while Lemon covered the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
Walsh went to the convention dressed as a “DEI consultant,” a nod to his undercover character in “Am I Racist?” There, Walsh and his team passed out flyers and cards that warned DNC-goers about the supposed perils of Project2025, which is a conservative plan from the Heritage Foundation that the Left has tied to former President Donald Trump, though Trump has denounced it.
The website listed on the materials, however, directs users to a trailer for “Am I Racist?,” a link to purchase tickets, and the Daily Wire membership sign-up page.
Despite Walsh openly talking about the prank online for a full day, Lemon and his team posted (and later deleted) a video of Lemon promoting Walsh’s film’s website. The video posted by the far-Left politico even ends with Lemon holding up a card promoting Project2025.com — the website that links to “Am I Racist?”
Walsh addressed Lemon’s promotion on his podcast Friday, joking that Lemon is now the film’s “number one spokesman.”

The conservative also mocked Lemon and his team for not catching the joke, even after Walsh openly discussed the prank online.
“Is Lemon in on the joke?” Walsh said, “because how else do you explain a supposed journalist airing the footage — that footage — a day after I told everyone on [X] what we did.”
“Maybe Don Lemon doesn’t follow me [on X], fine,” he continued. “But even just five seconds of due diligence — you’re editing the video, nobody even goes to the site?”
Walsh also commented on the other people Lemon spoke to at the DNC about Project 2025. Notably, not a single person gave any real description of the document, instead vaguely claiming that it’s “against America” and “dangerous.”
