Al Sharpton has voiced his support for Don Lemon who was fired from CNN this week, demanding a “full explanation” from the network. Days after he was dropped from CNN, Don Lemon is gaining some allies. In a statement, Sharpton and Morial questioned what Lemon was referring to when the former anchor said “there are some larger issues at play” in his firing announcement posted on Twitter. Lemon, CNN’s highest profile Black anchor, has talked frankly about race and civil rights issues throughout his run at the network. In an Instagram story on Monday, the rapper offered Lemon a job at one of his Wingstop restaurants.
