Lemon slammed as a "carnival of lies."

"...how do I describe this, carnival of lies that is the White House?" Lemon questioned of the Trump administration.

"While the current president is still hunkered down behind closed doors nursing his wounded pride, his press secretary is acting like the election didn't even happen. Acting like she is not about to be out of a job."

CNN showed a clip from a press conference on Tuesday, where a reporter asked if planned to invite President-elect to the White House.

'Girl, bye. Ba-bye. So much disinformation coming from the podium,' Lemon said after a clip of McEnany aired

"The president is still involved in ongoing litigation related to the election, yesterday's vote was one step in the constitutional process," McEnany said after electors voted Monday, confirming Biden as the presdient-elect.

"So, I will leave that to him and refer to the campaign for more on that litigation."

She added: "The president again is pursuing ongoing litigation."

Lemon then slammed McEnany for "disinformation."

"Did you know she also worked for -- girl, bye. I mean, there's no other. Girl, bye. Ba-bye. So much disinformation coming from the podium," Lemon said.

"It's like every day, it's like, comes out, reads propaganda, talks about what the media is doing, criticizes the media, this what you should be covering.

"I think we got this, you used to sit here on the set with us. I think we got it. When you sat here with us, you thought we had it. You were happy to be here but now we don't know what we are doing. Girl, bye," Lemon added.

The question to the press secretary came as Trump and his campaign have continued to falsely claim he won.

His team have made unbacked claims of voter fraud, and launched suits in several key battleground states that he lost.

Many suits have been tossed out by judges, but his team has continued to file for appeals.

Despite unbacked claims from Trump and his team, officials have repeatedly said there is no evidence of any voter fraud that would alter the election outcome.

Lemon's comments came the same day

"Isn’t it hypocritical of you to accuse others of disinformation when you spread it every day?” Acosta said as McEnany walked off the podium.
