Don Lemon leaves CNN amidst sexist claims
Lemon's morning show is slated to continue without its figurehead broadcaster. He was fired after growing criticism for comments he made about Republican Candidate Nikki Haley's age.
"Lemon has faced criticism from his co-hosts, CNN executives and the network’s general audience for a statement he made toward 51-year-old Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley during a Feb. 16 “CNN This Morning” broadcast. “Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry,” Lemon said, explaining why he was “uncomfortable” with the age discussion. “When a woman is considered to be in her prime — in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s.”
According to New York Times reporters, CNN’s executives discovered that some guests did not want to appear on-air with Lemon due to his comments. Research on the morning show reviewed by network executives also found that his popularity with audiences had fallen."
Don has been a dead man walking at CNN for awhile now....he wasn't very popular with viewers, which is why you really don't have any outrage from them over his termination. I thought he was fired already, but I don't watch CNN, so I didn't know....Most morning show hosts on these type of shows are meant to be vanilla, plain and bland...he was getting a bit too uppity on air....and couple that with his behavior behind the scenes and you have a perfect storm for being fired.
However, his attacks on presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was the last straw.....it is clear that he hates not only white people, but Indian people as well...who are just as good as whites in many aspects, so of course he hates them...the proof is in the fact, he attacked another Indian presidential candidate in Nikki Haley -- and now he turns around and attacks Vivek? It can't be anymore clear.....even tho Vivek was just flat out wrong on the facts, Don was still wrong to attack him for being wrong. That was not his job to do...his job was to let Vivek say his opinion, state them as indisputable fact and if Don doesn't like it, Don needs to stay in his place and not act like a uppity N-word...now he is fired...good...let that be a lesson to the others...
