Former CNN host Don Lemon mocked Donald Trump supporters over what he called a “MAGA civil war” that’s now erupting over immigration.
While many Trump voters were drawn to his hardline approach to immigration, the president-elect this weekend came out in favor of the H-1B visas for skilled foreign workers that are especially common in the tech industry.

Meanwhile, other migrant workers could face deportation ― hurting the agricultural industry in particular.
“Some farmers say without these workers they have about two days that they can run their farms,” Lemon said on his YouTube channel. “And then after that, it’s over.”
But he didn’t have much sympathy for the Trump fans angry over the bait-and-switch on immigration.
“Now you’re finding out, you dumb fucking idiots,” Lemon said. “Now you’re just figuring this shit out. You’re so fucking stupid, and you deserve it, and you fucking deserve it because you’re so dumb.”

Lemon admitted he was gloating.
“You were taken,” he said. “You have been co-opted because you’re in a fucking cult and you don’t even realize it because you have stupid MAGA brain and you don’t get it.”
Trump had in the past called H-1B visas “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers.
But after billionaire allies Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy spoke out in favor of the visas, Trump over the weekend called himself “a believer in H-1B” and praised it as a “great program.”
