Don Lemon has ZERO regrets. In his first interview since getting axed by CNN, Lemon held nothing back. The star chose a smaller outlet, ABC24 Memphis (before his appearance at the NAACP event in the city), to speak out for the first time. “I have a responsibility not only as a journalist, but as an American, to tell the truth. And to abide by the promises of the Constitution because the Constitution says a more perfect union. Not a perfect union,” he said in the interview. The journalist added that he needs to stand up for what is “right” and for the “truth” to abide by the Constitution. “I don’t believe in platforming liars and bigots, insurrectionists and election deniers and putting them on the same footing as people who are telling the truth — people who are fighting for what’s right, people who are abiding by the Constitution,” Lemon added before reiterating that he’s abiding by the Constitution.

As far as his next move? Lemon shared that it’s a fluid situation. “I’m not going to force anything,” he said. “I’m not going to let other people’s timelines influence me.” Lemon has also shared a few posts on his Instagram feed, but he’s kept them more light-hearted, posting a slideshow of photos from his summer — which included quality time on the beach with his dogs and boating. No one knows what the future holds, but Lemon looks like he’s liking funemployment.
