CNN anchor Don Lemon responded with shock to President Donald Trump's defiant speech at a rally in Phoenix Tuesday August 22, 2017 night. "Well, what do you say to that?" the CNN anchor asked, stunned, moments after the President concluded. "I am just going to speak from the heart here. What we have witnessed was a total eclipse of the facts."

CNN has parted ways with longtime host Don Lemon.

"Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years," said CNN CEO Chris Licht in a statement. "We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors."

Lemon anchored "CNN This Morning" with Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins. The show has been on the air for nearly six months.

"We are committed to its success," Licht said of the morning show.
