Don Lemon Responds to Colbert Criticism Over ‘Hoodie’ Suit on CNN

Don Lemon didn’t value Stephen Colbert buffooning him over the reality he dressed down on the task … reacting by comparing himself to Zelensky, Obama and Trayvon Martin.

The news anchor — who now directs the early morning time slot on a brand-new program called ‘CNN This Morning’ — appeared truly harmed that the ‘Late Show’ host entered on him on nationwide television Thursday night … teasing a hoodie-suit DL used that early morning on the air.

Colbert was quite powerful in his joking about Don’s closet option, stating … “As a wise man once said, ‘What the f*** is that?'” He continued to satirize Don, and informed him he had some describing to do — this while he remained in the middle of an interview with a visitor.

Welp, Don wasn’t truly in a laughing state of mind about this. Instead, he took a far more major tone in shooting back — stating he thinks SC revealed his real colors here … and after that released into a soliloquy about how traditional gown code requirements have actually altered.

He states the pandemic has actually turned work clothes on its head, while noting he’d been asked by his managers at CNN to have a good time and be more causal — which his Thursday attire certainly was. Then, Don name-dropped those people … look for yourself.
