Don Lemon Smears Charlie Kirk Service as ‘White Nationalism,’ Fake Christianity
25th September 2025
Monday on his eponymous YouTube show, former CNN host Don Lemon went into the ugly, vile depths of political rhetoric with a torrent of hatred toward the Charlie Kirk memorial service, quoting from his own book published last year to call it “white nationalism wrapped in religious nationalism” imbued with false, “performative” Christianity, and a tribute to Americans of the past who glorified slavery.
All to celebrate a man Lemon deemed an unrepentant racist who said “racist shit” and created “a movement claiming divine permission to rule” with “domination” and deny “their sexual diverse children’s right to exist.”
Lemon even predicted his hateful, vile comments spanning some 79 minutes would draw blowback, but nonetheless argued he had a special right as a black man given America’s past to call out those as false Christ followers while arguing Erika Kirk was seemingly the only person there channeling Jesus.
