Lemon LIVE at 5 | Donald Trump: Racist In Chief

Tonight, we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s racist Truth Social post depicting Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. Yes, the White House has since pulled it down. Yes, a few Republicans are suddenly clutching their pearls. But this is hardly the first time Trump has trafficked in overt racism.

So the real question isn’t whether the post was offensive (it was). The question is when, if ever, will the MAGA movement actually condemn the racism Trump dishes out on a near-daily basis? Or is this just another moment they’ll excuse, deflect from, and move past until the next outrage?

To break it all down, Don is joined by a stacked panel: Hasan Piker, Akilah Hughes, Katie Phang, Charles Coleman, and Ana Navarro.

Sharp takes, real talk, and zero tolerance for excuses. 🍋
