CNN host Don Lemon questioned on Monday why Fox News is a part of the White House press corps.

Earlier in the evening, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol revealed that Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Brian Kilmeade were texting then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows as the attack was unfolding.

All three hosts would later condemn the riot on air.

“Why does [White House Press Secretary] Jen Psaki even continue to call on Fox in the briefing room? They’ve been very courteous and, I should say, kind,” said Lemon. “Because if your network is promoting B.S. and lies about what is actually happen in the country and helping to inspire and incite an insurrection, why should they even be able to take part in a legitimate press briefing in legitimate journalism?”
