If you'd have told me we'd see Don Lemon streaming on Elon Musk's SUPER DUPER EVIL HATE SPEECH platform I would have accused you of suffering a brain injury at some point or perhaps of eating paint chips as a child. Even I, an actual believer in Elon's vision for Twitter/X, have my doubts when it comes to the Left ... NOT that X wouldn't welcome them, but that they'd NEVER dare utilize the free speech dynamo.
And yet, here we are.
Now, don't get me wrong, when Don Lemon was booted from CNN I didn't exactly cry. In fact, I probably wrote something here on Twitchy using that Curley Bill animated gif of him saying, 'Well ... bye.'
But I can't help but cheer a little bit because Lemon putting his show on X proves all of the haters wrong. Elon is championing free speech, even if you're a whiny, thin-skinned, big baby of a progressive.
Like Don Lemon.

... we need a place for honest debate and discussion without hall monitors.
Man, I really hope that was a dig at the biggest and most annoying hall monitor of all time, Brian Stelter. And you guys, I never thought in my entire career (life!) I'd say this but, Don Lemon is right.
That's it.
It's the end.
DOGS AND CATS, LIVING TOGETHER, MASS HYSTERIA.
I'm a conservative and was never a fan of your content and reporting and still aren't, but I am glad that your show is coming to X. The more voices the better, and when we have open, free speech where all sides are given a fair shake, it's better for society as a whole.

See? This is exactly where I am at.
Do I necessarily agree with Lemon's ideas and opinions? GAWD no. Do I think he should have a place for his show and to voice his opinions? Hell yes.
Congrats, and I sincerely hope you find success. When you first appeared on TV I thought you seemed smart, and sane. Not sure what happened to you those last few years but… hopefully you now have the freedom to be yourself (again).

I think the more opinions, the better-even the ones I traditionally haven’t agreed with. Welcome! Glad you’re here!

This will definitely be ... interesting.
If nothing else, maybe we'll get a little more Twitchy fodder out of Lemon.
So win-win!
