Ramaswamy, a 2024 presidential candidate, got into a heated discussion about race with Lemon last week on CNN.
Lemon and Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson departed their respective networks Monday, and the news led to an outpouring of opinions and theories from political leaders nationwide, including Gaetz, a Florida Republican.
Lemon has been the source of contention at CNN recently, including when he referred to Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley as not being «in her prime» in February and had a heated discussion with Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy last week.
On his Monday episode of Firebrand, Gaetz said he’s not sure why Lemon was fired but that he hopes the viral and chaotic interview with Ramaswamy was the reason.
