Watch: Don Lemon Eats Humble Pie, Forced To Apologize To Trump Supporters On Live TV

CNN talk show host Don Lemon laughed when his guest on the show insinuated that Trump can’t read or do math, and President Trump was NOT having it.

NPR’s Rick Wilson mocked Trump supporters during the segment by pretending to be a Trump supporter and saying “you elitists… with your math and your reading.”

The guest then mocked people over 40 who support Trump.

Don Lemon and the other guest both laughed at this, with Don Lemon cackling.

The action caused such a backlash, it made made its way all the way to Donald Trump, who responded on Twitter.
