"While the interview began on a calm note, things quickly became heated after Lemon was asked about his involuntary departure from CNN a few years ago. After Lemon remarked, I don't believe in canceling people, Morgan questioned, Do you feel you were a victim of cancel culture at CNN? Um, I probably, answered Lemon. Probably yes. I'm sure that I was a victim of cancel culture."
"When I asked you what subjects you wanted to talk about, you know what you said to me? You said, I want to talk to you about freedom of speech in America and the response to Charlie Kirk's death.' Not once did you mention that we were going to talk about CNN or whatever, and had I known that, I probably wouldn't have accepted this interview."
Piers Morgan questioned Don Lemon and the exchange escalated into a shouting match after Morgan asked about Lemon's involuntary CNN departure. Lemon said he 'probably' was a victim of cancel culture when asked if his firing reflected that phenomenon. Morgan played a 2023 clip of Lemon saying Nikki Haley 'isn't in her prime' and challenged him about that remark. Lemon accused Morgan of attempting to ambush him by misrepresenting the agreed topics, and Morgan countered that Lemon had raised cancel culture. The segment concluded with both men shouting over each other amid mutual recrimination.
