Don Lemon Criticizes MAGA Supporters Over H1-B Visa Debate in Heated Rant

Don Lemon recently made waves with a profane and mocking tirade against MAGA supporters involved in the H1-B visa controversy. The issue erupted when Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy expressed support for the H1-B visa system, which allows U.S. companies to hire skilled foreign workers when American labor is unavailable. This sparked anger within MAGA circles, with figures like Laura Loomer criticizing the policy, calling it a threat to American jobs. Lemon seized on the moment, gleefully mocking the MAGA supporters who were blindsided by Musk’s position on the issue.

Lemon’s response was nothing short of venomous. He laughed hysterically as he ridiculed MAGA supporters, saying, “Now you’re just figuring this sh— out. You’re so f–king stupid, and you deserve it.”

He continued, “You have been co-opted because you’re in a f–king cult and you don’t even realize it.”

Lemon’s remarks were aimed at highlighting the confusion and internal conflict within MAGA over the tech industry’s influence, especially Musk’s backing of the H1-B program.

The feud began after venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan was appointed as senior policy adviser for AI in the upcoming Trump administration. As tensions rose, the debate shifted to the influence of “tech bros” like Musk, whose support for H1-B visas irked anti-immigrant factions of the MAGA base. Musk and Ramaswamy defended the program, but suggested that it needed reforms. This only intensified the divide, leading to harsh criticism from some conservative voices.

Lemon’s tirade was broadcasted on his YouTube channel, where he couldn’t contain his glee over the MAGA infighting. His laughter grew more pronounced as he mocked the backlash, calling it an example of the MAGA base’s blind loyalty to their leaders. The video quickly gained attention, as Lemon took pleasure in watching the conservative factions clash over immigration policies.

Musk, meanwhile, responded to the MAGA backlash by pointing out that many of his supporters were initially unaware of his stance on the visa issue. “They’re getting too big for their britches,” Musk recounted hearing from MAGA circles. Despite the controversy, former President Donald Trump also weighed in, expressing his ongoing support for the H1-B program, which he said he has always favored.

Lemon, known for his candid commentary and often controversial opinions, made it clear that he found the MAGA infighting both entertaining and telling of the larger divisions within the movement. His viral rant underscores the ongoing tension between the tech industry’s influence and the more traditional, anti-immigrant wing of the Republican Party.
