'"As they say, she looks clockable," Lemon quipped. This time, Lemon left his co-hosts confused as they misunderstood what he meant by "clockable" because Gen-Z has recently used the term "clock it" in response to someone stating facts about a topic.
After making his podcast partners Google the term, one of his co-hosts confirmed the word is used in "transgender slang" to describe someone "who can be recognized as transgender."After Lemon's remarks went viral online, the 59-year-old was bombarded with backlash from critics - who deemed him a hypocrite for using the term "trans" as an insult despite previously standing up against transphobia."For a man who praises trans people, #DonLemon sure feels comfortable using trans as an insult," Big Brother star Jeff Varner declared via social media, as another critic questioned, "The Left is using 'trans' as an insult now?""Hypocrisy at its finest. When it's convenient, principles fly out the window," a third person snubbed.
