Strap in for another wild ride through the fever swamps of the left, where conspiracy theories bloom like dandelions in a neglected yard, where Don Lemon and Kathy Griffin don't know how to quit Trump. It's Brokeback Mountain all over again.
In a recent episode of the eponymous Don Lemon Show, because apparently, that’s still a thing, the former CNN talking head decided to cozy up to Kathy Griffin’s tinfoil hat brigade, nodding along as she spun a yarn about the 2024 election being rigged by those dastardly Republicans.
Griffin, never one to shy away from a hot take or a career implosion, declared with all the gravitas of a community theater reject, “I’m Kathy Griffin and I do not think Trump won in a free and fair election. I believe there was tampering. I don’t know. I don’t know if it was the Elon [Musk] connection. I don’t know if it was just a few good old boys in the South who didn’t do, you know, I mean what they accuse us of.”
Not to be outdone, Griffin doubled down, parroting the same tired line about Trump saying, “This will be the last election. We won’t have any elections after this.”
Let’s not forget Griffin’s track record. This is the same woman who thought posing with a fake, bloodied Trump head was a personality trait, landing her in hot water with the Secret Service back in 2017. And now she’s out here channeling Rosie O’Donnell, who back in March was also whining about Trump’s win, saying, “I question why the first time in American history a president has won every swing state and is also best friends and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the Internet.” Because apparently, winning swing states and knowing Elon Musk is a crime now.
Look, if you’re going to cry “rigged election,” at least bring a shred of proof, or maybe just stick to bad comedy and self-owning photo shoots. The rest of us will be over here, living in reality, where elections happen, people vote, and sometimes your side loses. Deal with it, Katty.

I don’t know if it was just a few good old boys in the South who didn’t do, you know, I mean what they accuse us of.”
She has no personal knowledge, no information, only her feelings and the fake severed head of President Trump, to make such an empty claim.
Lemon, who apparently traded his journalist card for a seat at the conspiracy kiddie table, didn’t push back, showing just the kind of "journalist" he was when he had a job.
Instead, he leaned in, saying, “You’re not far off. I mean I won’t say that I disagree with you… But I’m an evidence person. I’d like to see the evidence. I think something was off, and especially when someone said, ‘oh, we’ve got this.’ And, you know, how do you know that? How do we know we’ve got this? How do you know, or ‘I don’t need your vote’ or anything like that. It’s a little bit odd.”
Evidence person? Don, the only evidence here is your willingness to entertain Griffin’s unhinged rants without so much as a raised eyebrow. You always cared more for your agenda than the truth.
Not to be outdone, Griffin doubled down, parroting the same tired line about Trump saying, “This will be the last election. We won’t have any elections after this.”
Lemon, ever the intellectual heavyweight, chimed in with, “’Vote for me, and you won’t have to vote again anymore.’ And also, you know, as you said, every accusation is a confession.”
Oh, please, Don. This is the kind of deep thought you’d find scribbled on a napkin at a Starbucks in West Hollywood, when you're not shoving your hands into someone's trousers.
