CNN’s Don Lemon hit out at Donald Trump after one of the president's aides, Hogan Gidley, claimed on Fox News that he is the "most masculine" president America has ever seen. When host Bill Hemmer asked Gidley, "With the social media crackdown, does he feel emasculated? Especially as he heads out of office," the former deputy White House press secretary replied by saying: “Look, I wouldn’t say emasculated. I mean, the most masculine person ever, I think, to hold the White House is the President of the United States!"

But Lemon was not in a mood to take in the talking point being fed by the Trump supporter, so he went on a rant Monday night. The 54-year-old stated, “I've heard a lot of pathetic things from this White House; this one really takes the cake. A big tough guy who incited a riot and then hid in the White House for five days and still refuses to take responsibility. He's the president of the United States. He's the most masculine - come on man... Shut up. Shut up! He is the biggest snowflake of them all, the biggest one. Why are you coddling his feelings all the time? Who's the snowflake now?”

He also said, “The president's legacy will be not the most masculine president but the biggest loser we have ever had as president. Maybe that should have been the name of his show instead of The Apprentice: The Biggest Loser.” A lot of people on Twitter praised Lemon for voicing his opinion. One person commented, “Bless you, Don Lemon, for giving voice to the rage so many of us are feeling. Well done!” Another one wrote, “Awesome show, Don! Time to ditch that little segway with Chris, though.” “I’m angry too Don, can’t get last Wednesday out of my mind and frightened about what else may happen,” the third one tweeted.



 



 



 

During the interview with Hemmer, Gidley not just touted Trump’s manliness, he also went on to criticize Twitter and Facebook after both the social media sites banned him for reportedly encouraging the Capitol riots that took the lives of five people, including police officer Brian D. Sicknick. “What he does see is a systematic attack against, not just him, but against 75 million Americans who disagree with the socialist, communist vision that Democrats have for this country. That is completely unfair,” Gidley told Hemmer as he added: “And by the way, if Twitter and Facebook are private businesses and you can't do anything about it, then I think every pizza shop owner, every gym owner, every restaurant should open up right now and say if you're going to allow Facebook and Twitter to act the way they're acting, then we're going to open up as well.”

Gidley also responded to Hemmer's question regarding how the Republican leader is planning to communicate with the public after leaving the White House. “That remains to be seen. As I said, you can absolutely censor us. You can't silence us. And we’ll see how the president reacts, and we'll see what Twitter and Facebook decide to do with his accounts. 'There are obviously a lot of options out there. Whether he ends up creating his own entity, we’ll wait and see, but the president of the United States most assuredly is going to be able to communicate with his followers and the American people one way or the other,” he stated.
