Don Lemon didn’t just comment on the latest MAGA drama — he gleefully tore into it. In a scathing, profanity-laced tirade that has since gone viral, the independent media personality mocked Trump supporters for their shocking inability to see through Elon Musk’s support of H-1B visas, sparking a meltdown in the MAGA world.
Lemon’s notorious maniacal cackle took center stage during his YouTube rant, where he mocked Trump fans as “dumb f***king idiots” for being blindsided by Musk’s position on the H-1B visa program. “You dumb f***king idiots! Now you’re just figuring this sh** out,” Lemon sneered, clearly relishing the spectacle of MAGA’s internal strife.
The chaos erupted after Musk and tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy — both major figures in Trump’s orbit — threw their support behind the H-1B visa system, which allows US companies to hire skilled foreign workers when they can’t find enough Americans to fill the roles. The backlash was swift from staunch MAGA supporters, with figures like Laura Loomer slamming the move, accusing Musk of betraying the populist, anti-immigration cause.
But Lemon wasn’t done. As the MAGA infighting escalated, he went on to tear apart the very core of Trump’s movement. “You have stupid MAGA brain,” he ranted, accusing Trump supporters of being too blinded by their allegiance to the former president to see what was really happening. “You’re in a f***king cult and you don’t even realize it,” Lemon added, mocking their lack of self-awareness.
The comment seemed to be a direct jab at the MAGA base’s unwavering loyalty to Trump — even when he’s surrounded by figures like Musk, who have increasingly aligned with policies that conflict with the populist movement’s anti-immigrant stance.
Social media reacts to Lemon’s rant
The internet was quick to react to Lemon’s fiery outburst, with many users taking to social media to voice their opinions.
One user commented, “Holy shit Don Lemon has officially lost his damn mind.” Another added, “He does sound hormonal af.”
Another user took a shot at Lemon’s career, saying, “Since being fired from CNN, Don Lemon’s career has crashed faster than Biden from sundowning. While Lemon pretended he left for his fake Liberal virtue, he really left because his ego couldn’t handle the mocking he received after his contract fell through. As you can see from this video, Lemon’s situation is not improving. He should join Mark Hamil and Rob Reiner in the mental health facility. Don Lemon’s video is not the flex on MAGA he thinks it is. Enjoy the meltdown.”
Others took a more critical stance: “He’s hit rock bottom. I’m trying to find the interview where he asks random people whether they think Elon is actually the president. He cites MSM and gets laughed at.”
One user remarked, “Don Lemon appears to be losing his mind. What stage of grief is this? ‘You’ve been co-opted into a cult and you don’t even realize it because you have stupid MAGA brain and you don’t get it. How stupid and dumb are you?’ Projection 101.”
A more thought-provoking response came from another user who wrote, “The right hates Don Lemon because he’s black, intelligent, articulate, and factually points out what MAGA doesn’t want to acknowledge about themselves and their cult-like movement & leader. MAGA hates intelligent people of color.”
‘Too delicious to ignore’
Lemon’s rant also alluded to Trump’s controversial remark earlier this year about immigrants taking away “black jobs.” “Who’s to say that one of those jobs might be a ‘white job’?” Lemon chuckled, further driving the point home that MAGA’s rhetoric is often contradictory, especially as the conversation shifts on issues like immigration.
Even as Musk and Ramaswamy defended the H-1B program, claiming it needed reform, the growing tension within MAGA ranks was undeniable. Trump himself later weighed in, telling The Post, “I’ve always liked the visas. I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them.”
For Lemon, it was all too delicious to ignore. Once a CNN anchor who found himself at the center of controversy over remarks about Nikki Haley, Lemon has embraced his role as an outspoken critic. With his latest rant, he’s shown that he’s not afraid to go for the jugular — especially when MAGA’s contradictions create the perfect storm for drama.
