On Friday, former CNN host Don Lemon took to his YouTube channel, The Don Lemon Show, to react to the internal GOP argument over immigration and HB1 visas. What could have been an explanation of all sides of the argument with an appropriate opinion to close, quickly became an opportunity to harshly criticize conservatives, cursing out the party members, laughing his way through the entire video.Nothing productive was added to the conversation, only a further division in an already divided political scene, something which Lemon does best.

With Sriram Krishnan, an outspoken advocate for HB1 visas, selected as Trump’s AI advisor, arguments around the culture of America’s success surrounding immigration began.

Lemon was explaining the effect illegal immigration had upon the tech industry just as it does with blue collar industries, stating: 

They come here, they overstay their airplanes and they overstay their visas. And guess what? The tech folks like that and they’re part of the problem. Because they’re keeping those people here because they want them. 

Just as if you try to get rid of the migrants and some of the folks who come here, quite honestly illegally, then you can’t – then folks, in the farming industry, in the service industries [laughs] and in any other industries they won’t be able to do their jobs.

Some farmers say without these workers they have about two days that they can run their farms and then after that it’s over!

In one moment he was calling out illegal immigration as a problem, and in the next he emphasized how necessary illegal immigrants were. His point was to mock Trump fans as idiots who don’t recognize they’re being played by corporate elites. This is Don Lemon, who was often called the dumbest pundit on cable TV.

He discussed the impact of immigration on Silicon Valley, his approach was not contributing to either part of the discussion, but rather ridiculing the party altogether and cursing them out as “stupid fucking idiots” with their “stupid MAGA brain”:

Oh my gosh, I love this. Now you’re finding out, you dumb fucking idiots. Now you’re just figuring this shit out. You’re so fucking stupid, and you deserve it. And you fucking deserve it because you’re so dumb. It’s hypocrisy. So go with me here. Yes. I am gloating over your stupidity and how you were taken. I’m cracking. I’m cackling – I am. You have been co-opted because you’re in a fucking 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?

Lemon’s place as an uncouth reporter and left-wing propagator on YouTube continues from his roots at CNN, more distasteful now more than ever before.

DON LEMON: And so if you were taken by this whole Tech-Bro-Doge thing – Oh and also you know we’re going to deport migrants –

[Laughs]

Oh my gosh! Do you guys know how most people come here? I told you this, I’ve been telling you this for years. They come here, they overstay their airplanes and they overstay their visas. And guess what? The tech folks like that and they’re part of the problem. Because they are keeping those people here because they want them because they are –  they believe they are good workers. They’re are people  – and they don’t have a lot of leverage right? If you don’t do  – if you don’t work hard they can’t – they mostly cannot unionize. And they work in the tech fields a lot of them, in Silicon Valley a lot of them.

[Laughs] 

And no now they’re figuring out without these people, “We cannot do our tech jobs.” But guess who knew that? The tech bros knew that, the folks who are supporting Donald Trump, the folks who you want to put in charge of the Doge’s already knew that.

And so it is the same thing there’s a correlation here. They’re realizing if you get rid of these and it’s HB1 visa folks, that’s what they’re fighting over. I’ll get to that and explain. If you get rid of those folks then the tech folks can’t do their jobs, the technology industry. Just as if you try to get rid of the migrants and some of the folks who come here, quite honestly illegally, then you can’t – then folks, in the farming industry, in the service industries –

[Laughs]

– and in any other industries they won’t be able to do their jobs.

Some farmers say without these workers they have about two days that they can run their farms and then after that it’s over!

[Laughs]

Oh my gosh, I love this! Now you’re finding out, you dumb fucking idiots! Now you’re just figuring this shit out! You’re so fucking stupid, and you deserve it! You fucking deserve it because you’re so dumb.

Jim, it’s hypocrisy. So go with me here. Yes. I am gloating over your stupidity and how you were taken. I’m cracking. I’m cackling in Kamala, Ishanti – I am. You have been co-opted because you’re in a fucking 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?
