But Lemon, indeed, covered Rice and the Obama administration on Monday, telling viewers of his “CNN Tonight” show, “There is no evidence whatsoever that the Trump team was spied on illegally. There is no evidence that backs up the president’s original claim … And on this program tonight we will not insult your intelligence by pretending otherwise, nor will we aid and abet the people who are trying to misinform you, the American people, by creating a diversion.”
O’Reilly, currently facing his own sexual harassment allegations, tweeted that Lemon “refuses to cover Susan Rice.”
Lemon tweeted in response: “False. I did not refuse to cover the story. But I did cover your sexual harassment allegations. Did you?”
