On Monday, Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer asked Trump campaign national press secretary Hogan Gidley whether the president had been “emasculated” by the loss of his access to Twitter. Gidley’s response? “I wouldn’t say emasculated,” Gidley said. “The most masculine person to ever hold the White House is the president of the United States.”

On CNN Tonight Monday, Don Lemon had some thoughts for Gidley. “Come on, man, shut up. Shut up! (Trump) is the biggest snowflake of them all—the biggest one,” he said.

To Gidley, who served as principal deputy. press secretary in the White House before moving the re-election campaign, Lemon asked “why are you coddling his feelings all the time? Who’s the snowflake now?”

Noting that President Trump had, since losing the election to President-elect Joe Biden, had focused all of his time not on the raging pandemic, but on complaining about being “cheated” and working to overturn the election. “The president’s legacy,” Lemon said, “will not be the most masculine president but the biggest loser we have ever had as president. Maybe that should have been the name of his show instead of The Apprentice: The Biggest Loser.”
