On Friday, TMZ caught up with CNN's Don Lemon at Los Angeles International Airport. The tabloid decided to ask Lemon about the scandal going on in Virginia with Gov. Ralph Northam's yearbook photo where he wore black face.

The reporter asked Lemon if he thought women would be better political leaders because of their backgrounds being "less sketchy." The CNN anchor laughed and agreed.

“Women are the smartest of the sexes and they always have been," Lemon said. “We would be a whole lot better off if women were running things — more things in this country — and I mean that."

Yes, men can be boneheaded. They can do stupid things. But guess what? So can women. There are no hard and fast rules about one sex being smarter or less idiotic than another.

The real issue though is saying men do dumb things. When we attribute their actions to their sex, it takes away their personal responsibility. It's like saying "boys will be boys" when they sexually harass a woman. It's not okay but saying it is because they're males fails to hold them accountable.

Part of the problem is Americans' obsession with wanting "firsts."

Everyone was focused on getting Barack Obama elected because they wanted the first African American president.

Liberals were excited Sen. Kyrsten Sinema was elected because she was the first openly bi-sexual member of Congress.

Progressives cheered when Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar were elected because they were the first Muslims in Congress.

Now the focus is on having the first woman as president.

We're so focused on having "firsts" that we're not electing people based on their merits and their policy ideas. We're worried too much about identity politics that we're setting ourselves up for failure. And it's putting America's future in jeopardy.

Laughing because CNN actually pays this idiot a salary.

Don Lemon: More Women Should Run For President...

Guess he’s running then.

[BunnySlippers]

The payoff is that they are dead last in ratings.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like the little Lemon has a mommy complex. Another Norman Bates?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Does Don Lemon think more homosexuals should run things and run for office???

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Men bad. Women good. Trannies trump women.

[OttawaFreeper]

I wonder what Willie Brown has to say about this (oh, I forgot that someone at the WaPo recently told us that a woman’s dating history is off limits).

[Pearls Before Swine]

I think he means more women should run for President to soften up the male hegemony, and pave the path for an LGBTQ leader. What we really need /S.

[Bullish]

What do you expect from that affirmative action turd? Certainly not anything that passes as wisdom.

[FreeReign]

Lemon is a effeminate bigot.

[miss marmelstein]

Does this guy iron his face every morning? Gosh, I know he’s gay but does he have to be so faggy?

No more women in office until they learn maturity and a long sense of history. So far, they’ve embarrassed themselves into an early grave.

[ronnie raygun]

By more women he means, gay lesbian women, men that dress like women, transgender, surely he doesn’t mean real women born female

[CivilWarBrewing]

If only the Apollo 13 crew were all females, along with the entire Mission Control room in Houston. Think about THAT for a while.

Ok, ready for the heat...(and keep in mind, I am a woman)

Women do NOT belong in ANY congressional seat and certainly NOT in the Oval Office. And I say that with the full knowledge of the basic differences between men and women. Women are not emotionally equipped for it, as they are more focused on the personal and the family, as opposed to men who CAN think above that. This doesn’t mean they are “less” than men- it merely means our focus is different. We are one half of the whole.

Feminists can believe what they like about the oppression of women, now and in the past, but the truth IS, women have always influenced the men in their lives- especially the important men of our Founding. My husband is a conservative now and pro-life because of me and my daughters.

But put a woman in the Oval Office, and whatever tough and necessary decisions will be made through a prism of emotionalism. It IS our nature and it CANNOT be denied.

[jazusamo]

I’ll take some heat with you and agree.

That’s not to say though that there haven’t been a few in history, Margaret Thatcher comes to mind but she and those like her have few.

[trublu]

If I was there I would have said,

“Don, you’re certainly not doing anything to help the cause of men by saying something as idiotic as that. By your own ridiculous logic, you are stupider than every woman on Earth. That puts you, at best, in the bottom 50 percentile of all people based on intelligence. On that, we may able to find agreement.”

[jazusamo]

...have been few.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Well said.

Females = Emotion-driven behavior

Males = Logic-driven behavior

These are the DOMINANT traits of each, but that is NOT to say that either do not possess or have abilities to possess the other's characteristics, they DO. The key word here is "DOMINANT".

ONE OF THE REASONS WE CAN NO LONGER SIMPLY ENFORCE THE LAW ANYMORE WITHOUT ESTABLISHING A COMMITTEE TO ANALYZE IT AND DEBATE IT ENDLESSLY is due to the EMASCULATION OF MAN largely brought about by the FEMALE INFLUENCE in all aspects of our society; schools, the fatherless home and SINGLE MOTHER CHILD-REARING THAT EMASCULATES BOYS AND PERPETUATES THE PROBLEM, work, politics, our courts, news media, etc..

WE CAN'T EVEN CONTROL OUR OWN BORDERS BECAUSE OF THE EMOTION-DRIVEN COMPASSION NONSENSE SPEWING FROM A LARGELY FEMALE-DOMINATED MEDIA AND LEFTY POLITICIANS!

[Rummyfan]

“We would be a whole lot better off if women were running things — more things in this country — and I mean that."

Nancy Pelosi, Patty Murray, Mazie Hirono, AOC... who can argue with Lemon? There are just as many stupid women as there are stupid men. It's amazing that so many of both end up in Congress.

As for Lemon, I think his brain got sucked up in that black hole that he conjectured got the Malaysia Airlines flight.
