Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has likened Donald Trump's MAGA movement to the "modern version of the Nazi Party", describing it as the "closest thing" to the historical movement short of the Holocaust. He made the remarks during a 15 July interview with the podcast "Can't Be Censored", in which he also accused MAGA supporters of backing white supremacy. The comments are likely to draw sharp criticism from Trump allies and add to the polarised debate over how his movement is characterised in political discourse.

During the same interview, Lemon revealed that he had explored the possibility of mounting his own presidential campaign in 2028. The article, published by Fox News, frames his remarks as part of a broader pattern of provocative commentary from the former television host since his departure from CNN. Further specifics of his reasoning, or reaction from MAGA figures, were not detailed in the available report.
