WATCH! Don Lemon Says Megyn Kelly Looks “Trans” – What?

You almost have to admire how consistent the so-called tolerant left can be. Every time they preach kindness and inclusion, they manage to prove they don’t mean it. This week’s example comes courtesy of the Don Lemon Megyn Kelly comments that turned social media into a case study in hypocrisy. Lemon, who now hosts a digital show after his high-profile CNN exit, told his co-host that Megyn Kelly “looks trans” and is “clockable,” a slang term meaning someone appears transgender. That’s not just mean-spirited—it’s the kind of thing the left claims to despise. Yet somehow, when one of their own says it, everyone suddenly loses their outrage.  Don, Megyn Kelly is a beautiful woman, but then again, that’s not something that interests you as we know.

What He Said—and Why It Matters

Lemon’s remarks weren’t offhand banter. He described Kelly as “a Barbie doll covered in WD-40,” then followed up by calling her “clockable.” There’s no polite way to spin that—it was a cheap shot, and not even a clever one. The problem isn’t just the insult itself, but the hypocrisy behind it. Don Lemon spent years on CNN lecturing Americans about decency, equity, and empathy. He positioned himself as the moral compass of mainstream media. And now? He’s tossing out playground insults that undermine everything he claimed to stand for. It’s not just disrespectful to Megyn Kelly—it’s disrespectful to the very audience he pretended to champion.

If the Roles Were Reversed

Imagine for a moment if a conservative commentator had said that about a prominent liberal woman. Picture Tucker Carlson or Jesse Watters joking that a progressive anchor “looks trans.” The outrage machine would go into overdrive. There would be think pieces, petitions, boycotts, and probably a network investigation. But when Don Lemon does it? The same activists and journalists who claim to fight for women’s dignity fall completely silent. The hypocrisy isn’t subtle—it’s blinding. Once again, it seems that “offense” only counts when it’s directed at someone on the left.

Don Lemon’s Track Record with Women

This isn’t Lemon’s first brush with controversy over women’s issues. Let’s not forget, his downfall at CNN came right after he suggested that Nikki Haley was “past her prime.” That comment sparked widespread backlash and helped end his tenure at the network. Yet here we are again, watching him mock another woman—this time a conservative one—with no self-awareness whatsoever. For a man who spent years telling Americans how to think, Lemon seems to struggle with the basic idea of respect. Maybe it’s easier to preach equality than to practice it.

The Selective Outrage Problem

What’s really on display here is the left’s selective outrage. When conservative voices say something even slightly controversial, they’re instantly labeled as bigoted or hateful. When a progressive figure does it, the same media outlets that claim to champion inclusion look the other way. It’s the political version of “rules for thee, not for me.” The Don Lemon Megyn Kelly comments expose how the mainstream media and Hollywood protect their own, even when their behavior violates the very values they claim to uphold.

Enter Jamie Lee Curtis and the Hollywood Apology Tour

If you needed more proof of how twisted this culture has become, look no further than Jamie Lee Curtis. The actress faced backlash after trying to show a little human decency when conservative activist Charlie Kirk was tragically murdered. Curtis initially said she wished him well and acknowledged his faith—but after criticism from her far-left fans, she quickly backtracked, claiming she was “mistranslated.” Let that sink in. We’ve reached a point where a Hollywood star feels pressured to apologize for not celebrating someone’s death. It’s the same mindset that shields Don Lemon while punishing anyone who shows empathy toward conservatives.

What It All Reveals

These incidents might seem unrelated, but they paint a clear picture of how the cultural elite operate. Don Lemon’s attack on Megyn Kelly and Jamie Lee Curtis’s backpedaling over a simple act of kindness both reveal the same fear: upsetting the far-left base. In the world of progressive politics, your worth isn’t measured by your principles—it’s measured by your compliance. Lemon gets a pass because he plays for the right team. Curtis had to apologize because she forgot the script for a moment. The hypocrisy is exhausting, but it’s also predictable.

Why Conservative Voices Keep Winning

Here’s the irony that the media still hasn’t figured out. Every time they pull stunts like this, they make conservative voices stronger. Americans notice when “tolerance” becomes a one-way street. They see who gets to speak freely and who gets canceled. They watch how conservative women like Megyn Kelly are treated compared to their liberal counterparts. And every time they see the double standard, more people start to question the narrative. The Don Lemon Megyn Kelly comments aren’t just a slip—they’re a symptom of a much larger problem with cultural gatekeepers who have forgotten what fairness looks like.

Final Thoughts

Don Lemon’s latest comments weren’t just tasteless; they were revealing. They reminded us that the people shouting the loudest about inclusion are often the quickest to insult those who don’t share their views. If progressives want to be taken seriously about equality and respect, maybe they should start by practicing what they preach. Until then, expect conservatives to keep calling out the hypocrisy—and doing so with a little more humor and a lot more class than the self-proclaimed moral authorities of the media.
