Is Don Lemon in good spirits? The former CNN anchor appears to have taken a significant step back from his days as a prominent network host.
In a peculiar video shared on Lemon's TikTok and subsequently posted on the social media platform X, the erstwhile journalistthough that title seems increasingly tenuouswas observed approaching individuals in the New York City subway. He amused himself by displaying bizarre images to unsuspecting commuters.
According to Western Journal, the first segment of the video features Lemon presenting a woman with an image of Donkey from "Shrek" superimposed onto Sonic the Hedgehog. In the following clip, he repeats this act with another woman, this time showing her a blue-filtered headshot of himself. The entire 15-second video is undeniably peculiar.
While Lemon was never on the brink of winning a Pulitzer Prize, this latest escapade is unusual even by his standards. Users on X expressed their concern, with one questioning whether Lemon's "Trump Derangement Syndrome" had intensified, asking, "Is this what the final stage of TDS looks like?" Another user described Lemon's antics as hitting "rock bottom."
Since leaving the corporate media sphere, Lemon has engaged in various street stunts. In August, he recorded himself scattering copies of his latest book around New York City, leaving them for unsuspecting pedestrians to find. Observers were quick to note that this act only exacerbated the city's existing litter problem.
While it may be tempting to mock a former corporate news host, the underlying issue is the waning popularity of leftist figures, leading some of their most prominent voices to resort to such antics. Lemon's behavior resembles that of teenagers seeking internet fame.
Despite maintaining a YouTube channel, Lemon's viewership pales in comparison to the audience he commanded at CNN before his departure in 2023, with many videos failing to surpass 100,000 views.
If Lemon seeks a resurgence from his current trajectory, the solution is clear: abandon the relentless anti-conservative rhetoric, refrain from being a mere mouthpiece for the establishment, and strive for a more balanced approach. While he need not fully embrace the MAGA movement, it is evident that hard-left journalism may not sustain him indefinitely.
