CNN host Don Lemon has attacked Kanye West with racially charged remarks, saying the music star’s appearance at the White House was “a minstrel show.” Lemon, who has been a constant critic

of President Donald Trump, took umbrage at West’s appearance in the Oval Office as a new music licensing law was signed. “I have no animosity for Kanye West,” Lemon said on CNN. “I’m just

going to be honest and I may get in a lot of trouble for it. I actually feel bad for him. What I saw was a minstrel show today. Him in front of all these white people, mostly white people,

embarrassing himself and embarrassing Americans, but mostly African-Americans, because every one of them is sitting either at home or with their phones, watching this, cringing.” Lemon

blamed Trump, saying the President exploited someone “who needs help.” West has previously been hospitalized for what was termed exhaustion, and has been known to make public statements that

many feel are erratic. WATCH ON DEADLINE “Kanye needs help, this has nothing to do with being liberal or a conservative. We have to stop pretending… like this is normal,” Lemon said. West
