Episode Description from the Publisher

Donald Trump's administration has allocated $20 million in taxpayer funds for campaign-style TV ads featuring the president, with at least $2.5 million already spent on airtime. The White House says they are legitimate public-service announcements, while critics from both parties have questioned why taxpayers are footing the bill. Then, Vice President JD Vance is facing backlash after telling Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon to "get the hell out" and saying she "doesn't belong in America." We break down the controversies, the money and the rhetoric and Angie Nixon joins the show to respond.   FIND THE DON LEMON SHOW: Youtube: / @thedonlemonshow  Substack: https://substack.com/@donlemon Facebook: facebook.com/donlemon Instagram: instagram.com/donlemonofficial Tik Tok: tiktok.com/@donlemonofficial LEMON NATION: Website: donlemon.com Buy Merch: https://don-lemon-merch-store.myshopi...
