Don Lemon Targeted, Nicki Minaj Melts Down & MAGA Shows Its Hand | Karel Cast 26-06
Journalism is under attack — and this episode shows exactly how and why.
After Don Lemon covered a protest involving an ICE agent who also serves as a pastor, right-wing outrage machines went into overdrive. The backlash escalated so far that the DOJ reportedly sent a letter and placed Lemon on a list — simply for doing his job as a journalist. That alone should alarm anyone who believes in a free press.
Then Nicki Minaj inserted herself into the moment with a homophobic attack that revealed far more about MAGA culture than about its target. As political loyalty collides with personal grievance, the mask slips — again.
We also break down new revelations surrounding Donald Trump and his fixation on the Nobel Prize, including texts that shed light on his bizarre Greenland rhetoric and international posturing.
On a lighter (and very Karel) note:
- Learn how to make homemade dog biscuits to save money
- A special EPK feature on my new single “I Dance Because”, honoring those we danced with — and those we dance for now
