Tucker Carlson branded Don Lemon a 'successful victim' who 'runs away from diversity' during his Fox News show.

The CNN host addressed Carlson's comments on Tuesday, where he branded theLemon said:"I just want to fill you in on something that is going on at the Fox propaganda network. I don't usually respond to these things. I don't like to punch down and I'd rather focus on issues on this show that are important to you, other than someone taking potshots at me.

The CNN host then cut to a clip from Carlson's Monday night show, where he said Lemon"does not live in Section 8 housing" and that he"lives in one of the whitest towns in America. In fact 80 percent." Section 8 is a common term for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and allows successful applicants to receive rental subsidies.

Lemon responded:"Section 8 housing. Let me simply just say this. If you think that a Black person who doesn't live in public housing can't experience or understand racism in this country, well, that says much more about you and your ignorance on these issues than it does about me.", where the CNN host spoke about his colleagues, the Trump presidency and race relations in the U.S.

In the lengthy interview, Lemon said he believed it was wrong to claim the U.S. was in a"post-racial world" following the election of former President
