While millions of Americans were touched and inspired by uplifting messages during Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service on Sunday, former CNN anchor Don Lemon is seething over the Christian content, saying the event was “about a movement claiming divine permission to rule.”
“If you listened long enough and close enough,” Lemon said during his podcast Monday, “you could feel the ground shifting beneath you, because that wasn’t just about a man who died. This was about a movement claiming divine permission to rule.”
“It was a revival meeting wrapped in a memorial … a political rally dressed as church,” said Lemon, noting he was “from the South. Southern Baptist. Went to Catholic school.”
