Jennifer Welch and Don Lemon kick off their weekend read, or as they call it, "Welch's Lemonade, or allegedly," by diving straight into the controversy surrounding Laura Loomer's latest Twitter tirade against Don Lemon. Loomer, described by Welch as "madder than a hornet," launched a series of "mean things" on Twitter, accusing Lemon of being ugly and racist. She highlighted that one of them was charged by the Department of Justice under the historic 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act following an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church, implying it was Lemon. Lemon quickly clarified that it was Loomer who was charged, not him, and that her attempt to frame him was ironic given her own history.

Laura Loomer's Racist Attacks and Don Lemon's Defense

Don Lemon expressed his disbelief and amusement at Loomer's accusations, stating, "It's ironic how Don Lemon is out there calling me ugly and accusing me of being racist." He pointed out that Loomer was the one charged under the Ku Klux Klan Act, not him, and thanked her for inadvertently making his case. Lemon then launched into a defense of women, particularly Black women, whom Loomer had previously called "ghetto black bitches." He criticized Loomer's appearance, suggesting she shouldn't call others ugly when she herself has undergone plastic surgery that, in his opinion, didn't improve her looks. Lemon also highlighted Loomer's history of changing universities due to her inability to handle differing viewpoints, labeling her a "troll." Welch supported Lemon, emphasizing that his comments were not an attack on women but a defense of Black women, particularly in light of Loomer's racist remarks against figures like Angie Nixon and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
