Staff at CNN wasted no time in celebrating the ousting of controversial anchor Don Lemon, RadarOnline.com has learned.
After a series of awkward on-air blunders, tense exchanges with guests and allegations of misogynistic behavior towards female colleagues and staffers, Lemon was fired from his longtime employer.
While the news shocked viewers, sources claimed staff at CNN rejoiced in the anchor's abrupt dismissal.
Similar to how Fox News staffers felt about the ousting of Tucker Carlson, which ironically took the place the same day as Lemon's firing, CNN staff were said to have feared that the problematic anchor was "untouchable" after reports of misconduct failed to produce a swift reaction.
"Without a doubt, a white straight male would have been fired by now," one source close to the network previously told the DailyMail. "He's a minority in his race and sexuality… Don seems to be in a protected class, and he continues to get away with behavior that others wouldn't."
Lemon was not, of course, untouchable - and CNN staffers were reportedly more than relieved to see action from network executives.
"Everyone is celebrating his firing, for months people were wondering what it was going to take," an insider said, while they revealed a sense of dread had plagued internal relations with Lemon behind the anchor's desk.
"People are relieved. Now we can all get back to work," another insider added on Lemon's dismissal. "It was a nuisance having to interact with Don - his antics were distracting."

On air "blunders?" What crap. When you continually spout your racist lies they aren't blunders. They are INTENTIONAL.
It was not ironic or coincidental that Tucker and Lemon were fired on the same day.
I think it would be a hoot to have Don Lemon on The Five....
I missed all the FOX staffers’ responses of glee that Tucker was out, saving the fronthole that never met him and accused him of triggering her.
“allegations of misogynistic behavior towards female colleagues and staffers”
No misogynistic behavior towards male colleagues and staffers, apparently. That’s a plus.

You got to be shit when even your fellow brain dead libs are glad you are gone...
So even raging liberal staff members couldn’t handle someone who is woke- guess there are aonly certain degrees of wokeness that the left will tolerate in their presence
I agree. Lemon lips is dumber and more arrogant than Heraldo and the grating voiced chick. It would be amusing to see Waters and Gutfied cut him to pieces.
Sometimes, you don’t have to go through all the obfuscation that the terminated person was fired because he offended a protected class, species other than white males, or sexual orientation. Bottom line, the guy was an asshole. That’s good enough for me
