CNN’s decision to part ways with longtime anchor Don Lemon didn’t exactly shock media-watchers, but it did blindside Al Sharpton.
The civil-rights activist and MSNBC host called for CNN to provide answers on the decision announced Monday to release Mr. Lemon after 17 years with the network, calling him a “superb journalist” and “invaluable” voice.
“Throughout his career, Don has been a superb journalist who was very open to the civil rights community on issues others wouldn’t touch,” they said. “Don’s voice has been invaluable to the conversation of how we become a more just nation. With the health of our democracy undergoing perhaps its greatest test, we cannot afford to silence his voice.”
“We would like to know what he alludes to when he said there are greater things at play, which is why we urge for a full explanation as to why he was let go in such a fashion,” said Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Morial. After Mr. Ramaswamy said the National Rifle Association fought for Black gun ownership, Mr. Lemon said it was “insulting” to have the guest “sitting here, whatever ethnicity you are, ‘splaining to me what it’s like to be Black in America.”
