The lead segment in the 3:00 p.m. Eastern hour of Tuesday’s CNN Newsroom featured quite the display of verbal fireworks as conservative writer Kurt Schlichter angered fill-in host Don Lemon when he invoked the Clinton sex scandals of the 1990's with former President Clinton turning “his intern into a humidor” while discussing vulgar comments made by Donald Trump.

Lemon eventually became so unamused with Schlichter reminding viewers of Hillary Clinton’s decision to stand behind her “serial sexual abuser” husband that the CNN anchor cut both Schlichter’s microphone and the segment short.
