Cracking Under Pressure? Don Lemon Reportedly Screamed At Co-Host, Leaving Crew Rattled

The last several months have been pretty rough for CNN’s Don Lemon.

First, he was demoted from his primetime show that no one watched, to a morning show that no one watches.

Then it was reported that the ratings for CNN This Morning got even worse after he joined the show.

He must feel like he is under tremendous pressure. And that might explain why he allegedly exploded at one of his co-hosts recently for interrupting him.

The New York Post reported:

Don Lemon ‘screamed’ at ‘CNN This Morning’ co-host, left crew ‘rattled’: sources

Tensions on the set of “CNN This Morning” have recently boiled over, with Don Lemon allegedly “screaming” at co-host Kaitlan Collins off-camera during an ugly December incident that has left the cast and crew rattled ever since, The Post has learned.

According to two sources with knowledge of the situation, the 56-year-old Lemon approached 30-year-old Collins following the show’s Thursday Dec. 8 broadcast — and unloaded on her in front of staffers as he accused her of “interrupting” him on air.

“Don screamed at Kaitlan, who was visibly upset and ran out of the studio,” one source with knowledge of the skrimish said.

News of the explosive incident made its way up to CNN CEO Chris Licht, who is said to have been appalled by Lemon’s behavior, according to a source. A second source said a producer talked to Lemon at the behest of Licht and told the anchor to take the next day off to “cool off.”

The following night, the three co-hosts were slated to get drinks and arrive together at a White House Christmas party for the press, a source said. But the pre-party gathering never happened after the emotional day and they trickled in to the bash separately, an insider with knowledge said.

What happened to empowering women and all that?

Eric Swalwell Retweets Satire Video Post by Carpe Donktum Savagely Mocking Him With Fart Sounds

Rep. Eric Swalwell (Dummkopf-CA) took to the House floor Thursday to give an impassioned, grandstanding speech in support of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who was facing a motion to remover her from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs because of her anti-Semitism.

Swalwell stood next to an enlarged image of a tweet by the then minority Republicans on the Judiciary Committee posted last fall that read “Kanye. Elon. Trump.” Swalwell excoriated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for keeping the tweet up for two months after Kanye West had made anti-Semitic remarks.

Thursday evening, Swalwell retweeted a satirist Carpe Donktum tweet of a mocking, doctored version of the Swalwell speech complete with farting sounds and a replacement image featuring a satirical Swalwell tweet made up by Carpe Donktum that read, “Feelin cute, might fart on tv, threaten to nuke somebody, or bang a chinese spy later, idk. #YOLO”

Carpe Donktum tweeted the video with a tongue-in-cheek message praising Swalwell for his speech, tagging Swalwell, “I want to thank you @RepSwalwell @ericswalwell for standing up and saying the truth! The person who tweeted that SHOULD BE PROSECUTED!!”

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) piled on Swalwell, “.@EricSwalwell, honey, you’ve been trolled. You may want to consider firing the Chinese spy running your social media.”
