The banished CNN star’s visible irritability during the conversation with Ramaswamy on the civil rights movement, black Americans and the Second Amendment "left several CNN leaders exasperated," two sources told the paper.
In the footage of the interview, it appears producers were attempting to advise Lemon through the heated debate.
"Please, I cannot keep a thought if you guys are talking in my ear," he said at one point during the segment.
Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital that he thought it was clear their on-air confrontation "played a role" in CNN’s decision to drop Lemon.
"I think that any network that wants to foster open debate should embrace that principle by not restricting what someone can say or saying what someone can say is restricted based on their skin color," Ramaswamy told the outlet. "And I think they made the right decision here."
Lemon, who is black, had said it was "insulting" that the GOPer was "sitting here, whatever ethnicity you are, explaining to me what it’s like to be black in America."
