Don Lemon Warns GOP Guest About Being ‘Confrontational’ in Testy Exchange over Voter Suppression

Don Lemon Warns GOP Guest About Being ‘Confrontational’ in Testy Exchange Over Voter Suppression (Mediaite)

During an interview on CNN tonight, host Don Lemonseemed to lose his patience with a guest over North Carolina Governor’s election and accusations of voter suppression in the state.

Speaking to North Carolina GOP executive director Dallas Woodhouse, Lemon wanted to talk about Governor Pat McCrory, who lost the election but is pushing for recounts in the state. (There is a recount ordered in Durham County.) The conversation was also about a report that Lemon had just aired regarding voting rights groups stating that there is little evidence of voter fraud but they do believe there was voter suppression.

Woodhouse began the interview accusing CNN of doing bad reporting, which understandably got Lemon defensive. So, right away, there was tension between the two.
