CNN host Don Lemon spread fake news alleging Fox News didn’t report on Hope Hicks’ resignation on Wednesday, and he got serious flak for it.
CNN’s Don Lemon literally lied to viewers last night by claiming that Fox News didn’t cover the Hope Hicks resignation. @johnrobertsFox first reported it on-air at 4:40 pm and it was covered throughout the evening. https://t.co/fjrLMXrYqH

WE REPORTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES. I REPORTED IT ON NEIL CAVUTO’S SHOW – AND ON THE FIVE. AND AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE 6PM SHOW. AND WE DID IT AT THE TOP OF THE 7PM SHOW. CLEARLY SOMEONE IS NOT WATCHING FOX, BUT SAYING THEY ARE. https://t.co/Jdci8XRezL

Lemon said on CNN Wednesday night, “I was sitting in my office and was watching all the news channels, right–Trump TV or state-run TV, they’re not even reporting this.” (RELATED: CNN’s Don Lemon Tells People Who Don’t Want To Talk About Gun Control To ‘Shut Up’)
