Lemon said he might have to defend the rival show host because “I would not want it to happen to me.”
CNN host Don Lemon is condemning the recent verbal attack on rival Fox News host Tucker Carlson while he was in a Montana fishing supply store with family.
The incident was captured in a 22-second viral video by the person who allegedly insulted Carlson, Dan Bailey.
In the video, Bailey seems to tell Carlson he is “the worst human being known to man” and continues bashing Carlson in front of his family adding, “I don’t care that your daughter’s here.”
“Settle down, son,” Carlson says as he walks away while Bailey questions, “Son? Don’t call me son” and follows.
Lemon, whose political views differ sharply from Carlson’s, said Monday night the encounter was an invasion of “personal space” and that he may “have to defend Tucker Carlson.”
