CNN’s Don Lemon says 'cultist' Trump supporters need to be ‘deprogrammed’ before voting​

CNN anchor Don Lemon recently said that supporters of President Donald Trump are like "cultists" who need to be "deprogrammed" before voting in the upcoming election.

Lemon made the comments Friday while speaking with fellow CNN anchor Chris Cuomo on the network. 

During the conversation, Lemon shared his unvarnished thoughts on the tens of millions of Americans who support the president.

"If I had a real friend, who was involved in a cult, which I feel it is cultish behavior, I must try to help them," Lemon said, comparing those who support the president to blind followers of a cult. "And you can only go so far until you say, until you reach bottom, I cannot deal with it. It's like an addiction. Until you reach bottom and you want help, I can't deal with it."
