Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly has caught CNN’s Don Lemon being disrespectful to a female co-host on live television and called on the network to investigate his behavior.
The news comes after Lemon was accused of “screaming” at his co-host, which Kelly claims is part of a pattern of aggressive behavior toward women.
As Slay News reported last week, Kelly insists that more women will come forward with complaints about Lemon and has compared it to the “MeToo” movement.
Lemon has been under fire after it leaked that he had a meltdown on set and “screamed” at co-host Kaitlin Collins, leaving the cast and crew “rattled.”
After reports of his meltdown emerged, Lemon reportedly suffered another temper tantrum and “went ballistic” on CNN staffers.
Collins interviewed GOP Rep. James Comer (R-KY) yesterday who defended his investigation into the biggest scandal since Watergate, the Twitter Files.
Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said he would get answers as to why the FBI pushed to ban the New York Post from Twitter over the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Comer called the oldest newspaper in America a “credible outlet,” which reportedly outraged Don Lemon.
Lemon’s response is ironic, however, because the Post was right about Hunter’s laptop and CNN was wrong.
Lemon said: “That’s the time that we’re in, where facts are sort of flexible and you just throw things out there – citing uncredible sources, like citing the New York Post as a credible source and saying that facts are – it’s just…
“I can’t believe that we’re here.”
Co-host Poppy Harlow fact-checked Lemon in real time, saying Collins did a great job in the interview and called out the Republican congressman when needed.
Lemon started talking but CNN played music to cut to a commercial.
“Hold on please with the music,” Lemon said.
“American people are going to have to suffer through all of this stuff from election deniers to people who don’t believe in facts.
“We don’t have a shared reality.
“And now it has taken center stage,” he said.
Harlow, who appeared visibly uncomfortable, tried praising Collins again but Lemon wasn’t having it.

“I have co-anchored with the best of them.
“Never has a colleague so disrespectfully tried to ‘correct’ my interview on the air or ‘mansplain’ to me how I did it all wrong in front of the audience no less.
“CNN-how much longer are u going to allow this to go on?”

“Good for @PoppyHarlowCNN for standing up for her colleague,” Kelly added.

Later in the show, most likely after he was told how he came across on screen, Lemon said:
“As I was watching that very good interview by Kaitlin Collins with Comer, and I had to come out and say something because he is citing sources as credible that are not credible, he is talking about facts of something that’s kind of flexible, and maybe you believe one thing or maybe another, facts are facts.”
