Conservative commentator Candace Owens confronted former CNN anchor Don Lemon in a heated interview, telling the gay journalist that his marriage is “sinful.”
Lemon bluntly asked the 35-year-old in a July 12 interview on the podcast “The Don Lemon Show” whether she thought he was “sinning” for being in a gay marriage.
“Do you think I’m a sin because I married a man?” Lemon asked, to which Owens confidently replied, “Yes,” before repeating her comments.
“It’s a sin… You’re sinning. You’re in a sinful relationship. I don’t actually believe that a marriage can be between two men,” she told Lemon, who is married to 40-year-old Tim Malone.
“I hope you can deal with that,” said the fired Daily Wire anchor who recently came under fire for anti-Semitic comments referring to Lemon’s sexuality. “I want you to become a Christian, obviously, and understand why sodomy is a sin.”

The mother of two even suggested that “people should seek help” for their sexuality.
Lemon, who was fired from CNN last year, attempted to instigate some confrontation by asking the far-right host if she was homophobic, but Owens dodged the question.
“Are you homophobic?” he asks, laughing awkwardly.
Owens replied uncomfortably, “You are such an absurd person.”
“What does homophobia even mean?” she said. “Do you think I’m afraid of two gay men walking down the street?” she said. “I’m not afraid of anything except God.”
Lemon pointed out that many people who view gay marriage as sinful might view Owens’ mixed-race relationship as “sinful” as well. However, Owens responded that she had never heard that argument in a biblical context.
Just a day after the interview was published, Owens bizarrely claimed that Lemon tried to bait her into using a homophobic slur during their heated conversation.

Lemon pointed out that many people who view gay marriage as sinful might also view Owens’ interracial relationship as “sinful,” but Owens responded that she had never heard that argument made in a biblical context.
She sensationally discussed it with her own viewers, saying that Lemon made her call him a ‘f*****’.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not feeling well right now. I need to talk to you because something happened that I may never get over,” Owens said.
‘[Don Lemon] asked me straight up if I wanted to call him asshole. Yeah, he tried to get me to call him the F-word.’
“I’m a 35-year-old mother. I’m not going to walk around like, ‘Hey, you’re a s**t.’ I’m not 18,” she continued defensively.
“I’m not going to walk around calling people names, period. And I wouldn’t go up to a fat person and call them names. It’s absurd to walk around calling people names because I don’t like them. I would know, so the answer is no, I wouldn’t,” Owens added.
This comes after the controversial commentator has been consistently criticised for her anti-Semitic comments and spreading historically inaccurate stories.
This comes after the controversial commentator was repeatedly criticised for her anti-Semitic comments and spreading historically inaccurate stories.
She has recently come under fire for her denial of Holocaust atrocities, including the human experiments Nazi doctor Josef Mengele performed on prisoners at Auschwitz.
She was criticised for her “increasing embrace of anti-Semitic clichés” after claiming on her show last week that Mengele’s horrific twin experiments were “bizarre propaganda”.
Mengele, nicknamed the “Angel of Death” because he decided who would be killed in the gas chambers, carried out a series of brutal tests on twins during the war, including sewing them together to create conjoined twins.
