Don Lemon agreed with his co-host's claim that Megyn Kelly looks 'chopped.'

"As they say, she looks clockable," Lemon quipped.

This time, Lemon left his co-hosts confused as they misunderstood what he meant by "clockable" because Gen-Z has recently used the term "clock it" in response to someone stating facts about a topic.

After making his podcast partners Google the term, one of his co-hosts confirmed the word is used in "transgender slang" to describe someone "who can be recognized as transgender."

Don Lemon faced backlash after his controversial podcast episode.

After Lemon's remarks went viral online, the 59-year-old was bombarded with backlash from critics — who deemed him a hypocrite for using the term "trans" as an insult despite previously standing up against transphobia.

"For a man who praises trans people, #DonLemon sure feels comfortable using trans as an insult," Big Brother star Jeff Varner declared via social media, as another critic questioned, "The Left is using 'trans' as an insult now?"

"Hypocrisy at its finest. When it’s convenient, principles fly out the window," a third person snubbed.

Don Lemon was deemed a 'hypocrite' for his 'trans' insult.

This isn't the first time Lemon has came for Kelly in the media.

Back in February, he bashed Kelly for allegedly not being as "supportive of women as she makes out to be."

"She's racist, right?" Lemon asked. "It's just...I'm gonna give you the evidence. Supposedly learned from and then spent every day after apologizing for it and being fired for it, then spent every day proving the point that she is a racist."

He added: "And not very supportive of women, if you look, all you have to do, the evidence is in her Google search and what she says about women, and how she calls them out all the time."
