Former CNN host Don Lemon announced that he has been considering a 2028 presidential run, and has talked with his friends in politics about how
to make a successful bid.

The ?Can?t Be Censored? podcast hosts interviewed Lemon at his New York
City home on Wednesday, where Lemon was asked whether he was
considering running for president.

?People keep asking me if I?m running for president, and I don?t know,
I might, because people keep asking me to do it and if I?m going to do
it,? Lemon said, later adding, ?I actually think I would be a really
good president of the United States. I?m being totally serious.?

Lemon also believes that the state of the economy and the quality of
other candidates could spur a presidential run.

?I look around, you know, and I see the folks who are, you know,
possibly in the running, and some of them are impressive,? Lemon said.
?Many of them, most of them, are not. And it seems in this day and age
you don?t have to have a ton of political experience because our
current president has none ? had none.?

Looking directly at the camera, Lemon continued. ?The current president
is not doing a great job for the working-class people, for the American economy. He?s doing a fantastic job for his rich friends,? he said.

When asked whether he has considered the logistics of a presidential
run and if he has formed an ?exploratory team,? Lemon said ?I?ve stuck
my toe into it.?

?I?ve talked to people about it, people who have been in politics
before, and asked, what would it take? When would I have to get in to
do it?? Lemon said.

Lemon stated that he would prefer not to rely on big donors and he
wants to keep his unfiltered way of speaking if he were to run for
president.

?They tell me, ?You can?t tell these types of stories during dinner
parties if you want to be president of the United States. Because I
like to have fun. And I have a potty mouth,? Lemon said.

?I would like to run, and I don?t know if this is realistic or not,
without having to beg for money. I would like it to be a voter,
citizen-driven campaign for as much as it can be,? Lemon said. ?I would
rather the people of the United States to say, ?That?s the guy that we
want. I?m gonna give him five dollars or ten dollars.??

?As we get closer to 2027 or 2028, I?ll see, I?ll decide. But I have
enough on my hands right now,? Lemon concluded.

Lemon was fired from CNN in 2023, and while no official reason was ever
given, most news sources such as AP news attributed it to his off-color remarks about then-51-year-old Nikki Haley not being ?in her prime.? If
Lemon were to mount a presidential campaign in 2028, he would be 11
years older than Haley was at the time he made those comments.

Lemon attributed his termination to racism and homophobia among CNN?s higher-ups.

?I didn?t think that they treated me with any dignity and respect. I
blame the management and the people who are in control ? They wanted to
get rid of me as the gay black guy. 100% what it was,? he said.

If Don Lemon, the guy who seriously entertained the notion that the missing Malaysian flight could have flown into a black hole, gets anywhere near the White House, we can just turn out the lights and shut the door on this
country. We're cooked.

One thing Lemon proved beyond a shadow of a doubt during his Minnesota church protest is that he's a male bimbo who only sounded intelligent on CNN because he was reading stuff other people wrote off a teleprompter. He was either too stupid to know better during that church incident, or he was intentionally lying, but either way, the sheer amount of incorrect legal bullshit he was spewing to his camera was amazing to behold.

"I would like to run, and I don't know if this is realistic or not,
without having to beg for money. I would like it to be a voter, citizen-driven campaign for as much as it can be," Lemon said.
"I would rather the people of the United States to say, 'That's the guy that we

Yes, Don. The one thing we're all out here clamoring for is a President Lemon. <rolls eyes>

Yes, Don. These big corporations spend so much time and money going woke, only to turn around and fire you for having exactly the qualities that made you their DEI poster-boy.

That makes sense.

See? This is what a President Lemon would bring to America. This kind of constant whining victimhood baloney.

Sometimes a presidential candidate's biggest red flag is the fact that
he feels called to run. Meanwhile, though, I don't understand how you
seem to think we're not "cooked" as we sit here today...

Wasn't he convicted of some crime for that church invasion?
I suspect that might disqualify him from runing, irony of ironoies.

How refrshing to see you acknowledge Obama and Biden's legacy.
