CNN anchor Don Lemon on Monday addressed the sexual misconduct accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by telling his personal story of how victims struggle to come forward and do not always know when they are going to reveal to others the trauma they experienced.
What Happened:
- Lemon showed a 2010 clip of when he publicly revealed he had been a victim of sexual assault as a child.
- The host then played clips from 2010 where he revealed his assault to panelists and discussed the stigma around telling people he was a victim.
- An emotional Lemon, 52, came back after the clip and said he had not watched that video since it happened and mentioned he did discuss the experience of being assaulted in his book, “Transparent” which was released in 2011.
- The “CNN Tonight” anchor ended his monologue asking if “truth” was being pursued in the Kavanaugh story or if it was a “political game being played with people’s lives.”
