Maybe Don Lemon will finally figure out he's overplayed the gay, black man card now that even 'friendlies' are starting to call him out. Then again, Bill Maher has been hitting on more than a few nuggets of truth (although they don't appear to influence how he'll vote) so Lemon likely learned nothing from this.

But it gave us a pretty good laugh.

Watch:

Don Lemon gets called out by Bill Maher for playing the race card:
Lemon: "I'm different than you guys. I'm a black gay man, so I live in uncomfortable spaces all the time."
