CNN anchor Don Lemon will be temporarily benched from the network on Monday following his controversial comments demeaning 2024 GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to a CNN insider.

A CNN insider told Fox News Digital that Lemon has no plans to return to air earlier than Tuesday, adding that he is "taking the holiday" Monday and that his return to the show depends on "where his head is at."

Lemon's boss, CNN CEO Chris Licht, scolded the host on Friday for the comment, calling it "upsetting, unacceptable and unfair" and a "huge distraction."

Following intense backlash, Lemon tweeted out a mea culpa.

A CNN insider told Fox News Digital Lemon's internal apology was the "Most pathetic attempt at an apology I have ever heard in my life."

"Everyone's annoyed… People are definitely upset about it," one insider told Fox News Digital.

"I was trying to figure out what the hell he was even talking about," another CNN insider said. "None of it made sense, it was a stupid thing to say."

Let me say it.....his head is up is ass.

The “CNN insider” plainly doesn’t know the adage “stupid is as stupid does.” The media is chocked full of simpletons who tell each other all the time how smart they are. Then, when one of them spits out a truly monumental stupidity, they’re surprised

Due to Sour Lemon, Nikki Haley is getting more of the public acquainted with her name, all for free.

RE: “where his head is at.”

Uh. Clues. It’s really dark. And smelly. He can tell his brains are in there somewhere, though.

LOL. That is the first thing I thought of. I wonder if it’s hard to broadcast, with his head up and locked?

"None of it made sense, it was a stupid thing to say."

It made sense to Don Lemon and that's the stupidist thing of all.

[Bullish]

Who? Lol

First time you noticed that? He'll still be stupid after his "time off" ya know.

¡Hasta la vista El Limón!

Don LeMon has his own head is up his azz or someone’s shaft is in his azz but luckily his azz is big enough to fit both at the same time.

Maybe he could podcast with Keith Olbermann or something now. His morning co hosts don’t want him back .

Every time I see Don Lemon on tv I get triggered by that smug and flaming homo persona of his. Reminds me of Richard Former Enron he used to come on ILL O Reilly and Hannity I’m guessing around 10 years ago

Funny you should bring up that insufferable psychotic goober.
I ran across this news blurb today.

Maybe he should shift his focus to the green people and climate change, and change from being a Lemon to being a Lime.

I called that...as I’m sure many others did. Sooo nice to see all the CNN turds get canned. Gotta wonder whose next?

[know.your.why]

Theres got to be a “Canned CNN Anchors” meme somewhere.

[beaversmom]

Many Freeper men are completely disparaging about women and especially older women. Lots of them, I’m sure, agree with the gay leftist propagandist. I don’t particularly like Haley, the little I know about her, but it has nothing to do with her age or looks or heritage or even sex. I don’t think she’s sufficiently on the right side for my taste. That’s my gut.

[Postel]

I will be shocked if CNN fires him.
