Don Lemon has managed to piss off the ladies on the CNN morning show several times already.
After this latest bout, there this little doubt that Lemon is, at the very least, a sexist.
So much so, his co-anchor, Poppy Harlow, stormed off the set after Lemon’s nasty comments about Nikki Haley.
I’m Out
Nikki Haley, like Sarah Sanders in Arkansas, is saying that we need a new generation of leadership in the GOP.
She, of course, was talking about not electing people in their 70s and 80s.
Lemon called her out over the comment, saying that she was not in her “prime,” so she needed to be careful taking this plan of attack.
Lemon stated, “This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable.
“I think it’s the wrong road to go down.
“She says people, you know, politicians are suddenly not in their prime.
“Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime.”
Lemon dug himself a deeper hole, adding, “A woman is considered to be in their prime in [their] 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.”
The ladies on the set were flabbergasted by the blatantly sexist comment…
Lemon later issued an apology on Twitter, but I won’t print it because he clearly feels this way and has done things in the past that back that up.
According to reports, Harlow was furious, storming off the set after the cameras were off.
A source close the matter stated, “This ongoing situation is frustrating.
“His comments were misogynistic and sexist.”
Lemon is clearly not a good fit here, and it is only a matter of time before he loses that seat, possibly his job.
