CNN insiders slam 'misogynistic, sexist, POS' Don Lemon as he's fired from network for 'losing the respect of women on staff' and for thinking being 'black and gay' gave him a 'get out of jail free card'

CNN insiders have branded Don Lemon a 'misogynist' and 'sexist' after he was unceremoniously fired from the network after 17 years.

Sources told DailyMail.com no one wanted to work with him after he landed himself in hot water for saying Nikki Haley was 'past her prime' as a woman.

They claimed he believed he would always have a 'get out of jail free card' because he was black and gay, 'which worked to his advantage until it couldn't'.

Lemon was dramatically sacked by CNN on Monday morning, with the TV host tweeting it out before the network released a statement.

The 57-year-old said he was 'stunned' by the move and slammed management of not having the 'decency' to tell him directly instead of through his agent.

But CNN quickly snapped back, accusing him of lying by saying he had the chance to meet with bosses after the morning show on Monday.

A source told DailyMail.com: 'Don was given every indication when he made the fake a** apology for his disgusting comments and, still, no one wanted anything to do with him.'

They continued: 'No one owes him anything. He should have had the decency to not be a misogynistic, sexist POS.

'Don truly believed he was going to always get a get out of jail free card because he is black and gay, which worked to his advantage until it couldn't.

POS is enough. The rest is just redundancy.

Two words: "So long"

So long, non-Don-Juan Don!

What took them so long?

We've been waiting so long.

The bottom line is Lemon is a cranky, gossipy ageing queen and NO ONE likes that.
One sign of a ageing queen is their
personal animosity towards
hetero women .

Oh, and homosexuality is a psychiatric disorder .

For all the crazy idiocy this guy spewed, the “past her prime” comment probably was the ‘did him in’ moment. That said, it was a real ‘dumb a**’ moment.

Don’t say “black and gay”.
the correct formulation is “Negro, and Homo”.

addenedum:

I forgot to add the word “ escalate”

in many aging queens escalate personal attacks on hetero woman; not all ageing queens but its fairly a known fact-

you see altho’ them being male that does. not excuse them from changing male hormoneslevels,a changing body as they age but compound this with a psychiatric condition such as homosexuality.

What a brew😆

didn’t he sexually assault a young man in a bar? THAT was ok, but whatever he said, that was the final straw.

“ They claimed he believed he would always have a ‘get out of jail free card’ because he was black and gay,”

Of course he believed that. I think it is past time for the Politically Correct pendulum to start swinging the other way. Most people don’t actually want all that gay crap around anyway. It has been promoted by an unscrupulous media.

Not backing LeMon in anyway but working in that kind of office atmosphere must be a headache.
Always having to watch your language,your jokes, your politics, office cliques etc.

I’d jump out the tallest window...
Or make a run to the nearest gun shop...
