CNN's Don Lemon Assures a Despondent Chris Cuomo, 'Don't Worry Man. We Got This!'

New York City, NY -- In a moment of solidarity and reassurance, CNN's Don Lemon was forced to fill the role of motivational speaker as he worked hard to reassure fellow anchor, Chris Cuomo, that there is still reason to hope.

In the wake of news today that Senate Republicans likely have enough votes to confirm President Trump's nomination for vacated seat on the U.S. Supreme Court--vacated by the recent death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg--Chris Cuomo was seemingly discouraged and hopeless.

"I could see it in his eyes. It was very sad. My fellow host and friend was in a bad place and I needed to step up and help him see a bit of light in this dark dark world", said Lemon. "I tried several times to encourage him to look at things from a different perspective, but none of my efforts seemed to be working."

And Lemon did make valiant efforts. He told Cuomo, "we're going to have to blow up the entire system", to which Cuomo responded, with a doubting shrug, "well, I don't know about that." Lemon, seeing his friends skepticism, pressed in and continued, "Yes. You know what we're going to have to do? Honestly, from what your closing argument is. You're going to have to get rid of the electoral college, because the people...the minority in this country decide who the judges are and they decide who the president is."

Cuomo then reminded Lemon that not only do you need an amendment to the Constitution, but you also need a two-thirds majority in Congress and three-quarters of the state legislatures to make that happen. Lemon tried desperately to reassure his friend and fellow Trump-hater that with a Biden victory in November, and an effort to stack the Supreme Court, they may be able to do just that, but Cuomo was still very skeptical.

"It was then that I realized, we're losing him. He's seriously more depressed and discouraged than I've ever seen him. Even more than he was when he had to admit the truth about hydroxychloroquine helping his recovery from COVID-19, or when he was faced with the facts that his brother's decision to put COVID-19 patients in nursing homes likely led to countless unneeded deaths. He was distraught and he needed a some serious pick me up. That's when I looked him in the eyes and spoke directly to his heart and said, "Chris, don't worry man. We got this!"

Those three words, "We got this" seemed to snap Cuomo out of his sadness and for the first time in the entire segment his frown turned to a grin and the light came back into his eyes. When pressed on clarification of what he was referring to in that emotional moment, Lemon said, "We got this because we have something Trump doesn't have. We have George Soros, our very own Emperor Palpatine, and we have an angry group of aggrieved Americans whom we've spent decades and dollars to create. We have a clone army that makes the Grand Army of the Republic look small. We have China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and the United Nations on our side. If we can't beat this bag of deplorables playing by the rules of the system, then we're going to blow up the entire system."

That's the hope CNN wants to leave with Americans. "Don't lose hope. Even if it seems we are losing and all our efforts to derail the "Trump Train" are falling short, we must remember that history is on our side. And even when it's not, we'll simply change it," Lemon said.
