Don Lemon apologizes to CNN staff for comments about women: ‘I’m sorry that I said it’
LA TimesDon Lemon attends a CNN event in New York City in 2019. “I’m sorry that I said it,” Lemon said during a virtual editorial staff meeting, according to the report by CNN’s media reporter Oliver Darcy. Lemon’s offending comments came during a Thursday segment of “CNN This Morning” as he and his female co-hosts, Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, discussed Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s calls for mental competency tests for politicians over 75 and term limits in Congress. They said the “prime” Lemon was referring to was a woman’s reproductive years and that Haley was referring to one’s political prime and mental capacity. Haley, the former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador, responded to Lemon on Twitter and made an appearance on Fox News, calling him and his comments “sexist.” “Look, he made that comment, I wasn’t sitting there saying sexist, middle-aged, CNN anchors need to have mental competency tests, although he may have just proven that point,” Haley said on “American’s Newsroom” early Friday morning.
