Outkick ^ | 2/19/23 | Bobby Burack

Don Lemon will not appear Monday morning on CNN. Fox News Digital reports CNN has benched the host as it mulls his future at the network.

Last week, Lemon mansplained to his female co-hosts that women over 50 are no longer in prime condition while discussing Nikki Haley running for president as a 51-year-old woman.

The commentary supposedly offended female staffers as well as his boss. CEO Chris Licht opened his daily 9 a.m. editorial call Friday by rebuking Lemon’s segment.

Lemon should have been shown the door at the same time as Brian Stelter. However, they couldn't yet, as explained by the sentence below in the article. You have to just laugh!

"Firing a gay black man is no simple task. But dismissing him in the name of fighting sexism would ease some of the inevitable racial backlash."

Monday...

By this point a Conservative wouldn’t be able to contact
their parents for fear of them winding up bankrupt as
well.

It’d be very much on brand for our times if his reaching his hands down his pants, rubbing his genitals and waving it under the nose of a Long Island bartender asking him whether he likes “P**** or D***” doesn’t get him fired but insulting a GOP presidential candidate’s age does.

Just curious, but can anybody explain the preponderance of queer “news” broadcasters? They comprise only 3% of the population at most but appear to be at least 50% of the liars, er, I mean news anchors on TV.

Don Lemon is “beyond his expiration date”.

My theory is that, once queers gain a certain percentage of the employees, it discourages straight people from wanting to do it as a career.

In the worldview of Lemon, he wasn’t wrong. Liberalism has no real use for women, beyond sexual pleasure and motherhood.

Imagine all the hand wringing in the executive meetings surrounding the various victimology charts. Who outrank who.

You got your black queen.
You got your white liberal wimmens.
You got your woketard staffers.
You got your diversity is our strength bosses.

Which victim wins?

Its been obvious he’s a complete moron for many years but when I watched that segment I was thinking: Dude.....really? You just said that?....in a room full of chicks?.....and now you’re gonna actually try to defend it? I mean.....really???

If he’s talking about dating he’s absolutely correct. The wall is 30. But as a politician there’s no reason 50 should be disqualifying or considered past anybody’s prime. She’s not running to be a bikini model or an athlete.

Not sure if this is still true, but at one point 5 of 6 Black male presenters on CNN were gay. (And the 6th was an asterisk, not really a CNN person (Vernon Jordan))

Mrs. p. henry retired at age 71 and was at least as sharp and powerful on that date as she was 25 years earlier. Lemon can kiss my grits.

Well, that non confirmed statement has convinced me that CNN is trying to brainwash everyone.

Somewhere, on some planet perhaps, someone cares about Don Lemon.

Lemon has discovered that one cannot be woke enough. A two pointed managed to offend some 3 and possibly 4 pointers. He lost the game.

The only way to win is to not play the game.
