"The Republican party can no longer say that they don't agree with the insurrectionists, with the bigots, with the racists, with the white supremacists, with the anti-semites, because that's what they have clearly shown through their actions, especially over the last five years," Lemon said.
Lemon spoke about the public backlash received by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who was one of few Republican congressmen who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. Following his vote, 11 of his family members wrote a letter to him, and sent it to conservative lawmakers, mocking him for his vote.
