Lemon LIVE at 5 | Who Is This Week's SOUR LEMON?! - March 21st, 2025
Welcome to The Sour Lemon Special! Every week, we break down the most outrageous, corrupt, and downright awful behavior from the people in power—and this time, we’ve got a stacked lineup of contestants. Who will take home the title of this week’s Sour Lemon? You decide!Here are the nominees:🍋 Greg Gutfeld – Fox News’ resident edgelord who thinks yelling 'shut the f*** up' at the Chief Justice is journalism. 🍋 Tom Homan – America’s angriest thumb is back, proudly announcing he doesn’t care what judges say—as if that’s a flex and not a confession.🍋 Howard Lutnick – Commerce Secretary by day, very casual Tesla hype man by night. Insider trading? Never heard of her!🍋 Steve Bannon – Least showered man in America says Trump’s running for a third term in 2028. Clearly, math—and the Constitution—are not part of the war room strategy.🍋 Pam Bondi – Calling Tesla vandalism ‘terrorism’ because nothing says national security threat like a cracked windshield. Pam, go touch some grass.🍋 That One White House Reporter – Asked for Derek Chauvin to be pardoned… on purpose. Bold move for someone trying to cosplay as a journalist while saying the quiet part out loud.Who deserves the title? Who was the absolute worst this week? Join Don and Godfrey to break it all down!
