Don Lemon Labels Megyn Kelly 'Racist' Over Joy Reid Cancellation

Joy Reid's MSNBC show, The ReidOut, is set to be canceled, coinciding with a leadership change at the network under new president Rebecca Kutler. The show has been a significant platform for Reid, known for her often controversial takes on politics, particularly regarding Donald Trump and Republicans. Following the announcement, former CNN host Don Lemon criticized Megyn Kelly for celebrating the cancellation, calling her a 'racist' and questioning her claims of supporting women. Lemon highlighted Kelly's past controversies and suggested that her recent comments contradicted her public persona. The transition of Reid's timeslot will feature new hosts, including Alicia Menendez, who will make history as the first Latina woman to host a primetime cable news show on MSNBC. Reid's career has been marked by various controversies, including past homophobic remarks and polarizing comments about political figures, which have resurfaced amid her show's cancellation.
