You have to love the irony that is CNN's Don Lemon.

On Friday, Lemon was the keynote speaker at Variety’s Entertainment & Technology NYC Summit.

It was there that Lemon told the audience that calling the president a racist is what journalists should do as a matter of integrity.

His reasoning: an objective analysis of the situation “leads you to nothing else but this president being racist.”

“He’s certainly racist-adjacent,” Lemon said. “If you have the evidence that shows you, that leads you to nothing else but this president being racist, then I feel it’s my obligation as a journalist to say it. On [Jan. 11 when] I said it, and I don’t regret saying it. I believe that to be true.”

Lemon went on to say that “he loves going to work” each day because “CNN has refused to pick sides” when it comes to Trump.
