Don Lemon slams gay and Black MAGA supporters: "Self-hating, naive, and 'pick me' are terms I would use" - Queerty

The speaker questions how someone can be Black and support MAGA amid actions affecting voting rights in the United States. The speaker argues that MAGA policies and positions conflict with civil rights and equal deservingness for all Americans. The speaker compares Black MAGA support to historical examples like Log Cabin Republicans and extends the comparison to gay Republicans. The speaker expresses confusion about how marginalized groups can align with a party that the speaker believes does not support their existence or rights. The speaker uses labels such as self-hating, naive, and “pick-me” to describe the behavior of supporting MAGA despite perceived harm to one’s own civil rights.

"I think it was the 2024 election or whatever, people were saying, 'Young, Black and MAGA'. What? I mean, there are words that I just won't say here. I will say, self-hating is one term that I would use for it. Naive is another term that I would use for it. And then, a milder term would be, "pick me" is another term that I would use for it."
