Don Lemon Compares Trump's MAGA Movement to Nazi Party in Podcast Interview

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon compared President Donald Trump's MAGA movement to the Nazi Party during an interview on the "Can't Be Censored" podcast. He stated, "MAGA is the closest thing to the modern version of the Nazi Party," adding that this comparison is specific to the American context and does not include the Holocaust. Lemon discussed the implications for the Republican Party post-Trump and criticized the movement for supporting what he termed 'White supremacy' and 'power.' He also labeled Trump as a fascist, claiming the country has moved beyond typical political dysfunction. The White House responded to Lemon's comments, with spokesman Davis Ingle calling him a 'low ratings loser' and suggesting he seek psychiatric help for what he termed 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Lemon also mentioned that he is considering a presidential run for 2028, expressing a preference for a campaign funded by small contributions rather than large donors. He revisited his departure from CNN, alleging it was due to his identity as a 'gay Black guy,' a claim disputed by CNN representatives who stated the decision was unrelated to his race or sexual orientation.
