Don Lemon: Michelle Obama is Right to Avoid Trump

Don Lemon turns his fire on his old outlet CNN as he tells Joanna Coles and Samantha Bee, “They find ways to get rid of us for little things, for being a big mouth. Independent media is freedom. Viewers prefer my living room to a fancy studio.” The Live at Five YouTuber praises Michelle Obama for boycotting Trump’s inauguration, saying “Why normalize this behavior?” Joanna and Sam also dive into Trump’s cabinet picks with the Daily Beast’s Senior Political Correspondent Juliegrace Brufke, who watched Pete Hegseth’s heated Senate hearing and has the inside scoop on what else to expect. Daily Beast Executive Editor Hugh Dougherty has details of a bombshell investigation into Tulsi Gabbard’s spiritual guide with exclusive recordings of his homophobic remarks. And Sam and Joanna have inaugural fashion predictions for the Trump era as well as a heartfelt verdict on the LA wildfires: “trauma upon trauma.”
