Multiple choice for readers. Is Don Lemon:
Intellectually challenged.
A misogynist.
A supine shill for Joe Biden.
All of the above?
The question arises after Lemon's pitiful performance on Thursday's CNN This Morning. Responding to Nikki Haley's call on Wednesday for candidates over 75 [looking at you, Biden and Trump!] to be tested for mental competency, Lemon made a pathetic attempt to turn the tables on Haley, saying:
"She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime—sorry. A woman is considered being in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s. Prime, if you look it up. If you Google, when is a woman in her prime?, it'll say 20s, 30s, 40s."
UPDATE: On Thursday afternoon, Lemon tweeted out a non-apology, keeping his comments focused on women in general with no mention of the former U.N. Ambassador. "The reference I made to a woman’s 'prime' this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it."

HALEY NEEDS TO LEARN SHE IS NOT ELIGIBLE.
I know it would be hard for CNN to outright fire this moron. But maybe they can move him into that crucial 2am-3am slot. :-)
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Silence from the feminist lobby. Lemon basically said once you are a woman in your 50s you are less valuable.
Isn’t it amazing what kind of female bashing misogynistic comments you can get away with with no retribution if you check the “right” boxes..
THIS IS CNN!!
Why isn’t she?
He'd be better off with his very own podcast.
Anybody else would have been immediately pulled off the air and frog marched out of the building.
I guess CNN just endorses his position?
The irony is Lemon doesn’t get he was moved to the morning show because he is out of his prime.
Good point!
PS: assuming Lemon ever HAD a prime!
Her past sell date was updated after Jan 6 and again with her kick in the groin wearing heels announcement. What a back stabbing two faced bimbo.
We know what he meant but it is fun to watch him squirm.
Lemon must be asking to be fired so he can sue CNN for millions.
He did offer a lame semi-apology later in the day, saying that “colleagues and loved ones” had called him out on his idiotic statement.
I’m sure among the colleagues were his co-hosts, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlin Collins. I’m sure they are sick of this guy, with his hogging of air time and inane comments.
And in the case of Collins, he reportedly screamed at her after a recent show for having the audacity to interrupt Don on the air.
He’s confused Haley with ‘experienced’ sex workers...or ‘men’ who cross dress for kiddie library shows.
CNN needs to dump him.
Don Lemon’s a ‘twofer’ - black and gay - but if CNN spends some time on their their search (and not just ask some white guy who ‘knows’ him) - they can find ‘black and gay’ AND competent.
Seems VP Harris got help from her time spent on her back ... I’m guessing Lemon might have had help that way too. Who knows? What else could explain a person that’s that incompetent earning that much money? Must be something - it sure hell ain’t talent, intellect, or skill.

???????????????????????????????
But Hillary is just fine. Right, Donnie?
I’m sure if Trump said that, it would not be a big deal.
Old Donnie Lemon was past his prime a long time ago.
Great Minds Think Alike
From the article:
“Someone needs to ask Lemon, just how far past their primes are Nancy Pelosi [82], Hillary Clinton [75], and Michelle Obama [59]?”
Or was that a dream?
