Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Breitbart News that he “made lemonade out of lemons” after CNN host Don Lemon was ousted from the company on the heels of a heated exchange with the candidate last week, which reportedly left executives vexed.
Soon after the news of Lemon and CNN’s split on Monday, the New York Times reported that “several CNN leaders” were left “exasperated” by the heated early morning back and forth between Lemon and Ramaswamy last week on This Morning.
It came as “CNN leaders were hopeful that Mr. Lemon would adjust to his new morning-show role and that higher ratings would follow” after years of combative segments on his former evening show, Don Lemon Tonight. The Times noted that the prime-time “persona” Lemon brought to the show “was an awkward fit.”
During the intense 8:00 a.m. segment seen below, cohost Poppy Harlow was relegated to an onlooker as the men sparred over the Civil War and the freedoms of black Americans.
