Seems like Don Lemon had no problem pulling the plug on a segment where conservative Kurt Schlichter was discussing Donald Trump’s comments about Hillary Clinton. Schlichter began referencing Hillary Clinton’s “disgusting bathroom use” during the Democratic debate on December 19,” as well as former President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky. “Don, it’s going to take a lot more for me to get upset at a woman who enabled a guy who turned the Oval Office into a frat house and his intern into a humidor,” said Schilchter.

“I just think it’s silly,” Lemon’s guest continued. “Look, he’s running against Hillary Clinton. He’s running against a sexual harasser and abuser’s enabler. I don’t know why we’re not talking about that.” To which the CNN anchor responded, “Because it has nothing to do with what happened.” Schilchter insisted that all negative response to Trump’s comments are “hypocritical pearl-clutching nonsense.”

As the conversation continued to go downhill, Lemon began asking his producers to cut. “Can we cut it off? Can we cut if off please?” and so the interview came to an end.
