The Hollywood Reporter

"I was doing a shoot in the park the other day and someone said, 'We built this country. I can't wait for CNN to fire your black a**, you f*ggot,'" Lemon said today at an industry conference. During his speech, Lemon told the crowd that the attacks on him from President Trump "take a toll on me, on my privacy and safety and security, and the safety and security of my family." Lemon also revealed he's received hate mail at his home address. "I wonder how long I will continue to do this particular job in the way I do it," he said, adding: "It ain't easy, but I don't plan to give up."
