Don Lemon: Trump Supporters Need To Be "Deprogrammed" Before They Can Be Allowed To Vote

CNN's Don Lemon shares why he has trouble being friends with people who support President Donald Trump. Lemon likened Trump supporters to a cult or an addiction and he feels he "must try to help them." Lemon said Trump supporters need to be "deprogrammed" before they are allowed to vote. "If I had a real friend, who was involved in a cult, which I feel it is cultish behavior, I must try to help them," Lemon said. "And you only go so far until you say, until you reach bottom, I cannot deal with it. It's like an addiction. Until you reach bottom and you want help, I can't deal with it." "Here's how I feel about this. I don't care about whether you're right or left. I've been right. I was a young, Republican. And left. I am an independent now. And I am an independent thinker, and I believe in reality. I believe in facts. I believe one plus one equals two. And so, when I am talking to people who, not are smart but, who think they are smart. There's a difference between being smart and thinking you're smart. Then, I have to -- I got to let you go," Lemon said. "He lies to people and they believe it," Lemon said of Trump. "And so, what is that? Cultish behavior. And I think a lot of people need to be deprogrammed, right now, before they cast their next ballots."
