Lemon’s “sad” admission came in response to PrimeTime host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo’s closing comments at the end of the previous hour, where he pleaded with Trump supporters not to go to Trump rallies so they don’t get sick.

The feigned sympathy for Trump supporters began with Lemon insisting that he had Republican friends, to begin with:

There are a lot of friends I had to get rid of because they are so nonsensical when it comes to this issue. They have the whole – every single talking point that they hear on state TV and that they hear from this President. They repeat it and they are blinded by it.
