No offense, but how old are you? And, are you male or female.

I am guessing a female in her mid-20's.

I am guy-
28 year old

Ah, that explains it!

So you can make generalizations about the age of men but you are all defensive when the same was said about a woman. Don’t you understand that hypocrisy like that weakens your own case? How about we don’t make generalizations about age no matter the gender?

Here’s the thing. Pp is commenting on the poster’s youth because it explains a lack of judgement, ie, too young to know better. Lemon’s comment about Nikki Hayley was in a conversation about suitability for the office of president. He called her “past her prime” because he literally could not evaluate a woman on any basis other than her sexuality. Is a woman in her fifties “past her prime” if you’re judging her on her fertility or physical attractiveness? Arguably so. But that has nothing to do with her mental fitness for public office. It is easy to argue that a woman in her fifties is literally in her prime for such a role. But Lemon’s comments made it clear that he can’t think of a woman and see her mental abilities. He only sees her as an object for looking at. And the fact that he doubled down after being criticized for his comments boggles my mind. He deserved to be fired.

It's interesting that we have an 80 year old president that is running for a 2nd term w/ his most likely opponent being a man in his late 70s and Lemmon is commenting on Hayley being past her prime in her early 50's. WTF. So once women hit menopause, just take them out to pasture and call it a day. They're good for nothing? Disgusting misogyny.

Here’s the thing:

Lemon went after her because she’s a Republican.

There’s no way he would have gone after a female Dem in the same way.

He’s more anti-R than anti-woman.

He’s still a jerk. And jerks aren’t entitled to be on tv. You need to be liked.

He may hate Republicans more than women, but he still demeaned all women by saying Haley was past her prime. He could have said he dislike her policies. Not said basically, she isn't hot enough.

Lemon is a perv. That nobody is bringing it up but saying CNN is execs needs a scapegoat is weird.

[Anonymous]

He groped men, ffs! Why was he not fired for that? Just ask yourself what that tells you.

He’ll sue and claim racism. Watch

As well he should, because it was CLEARLY racially motivated.

You’re telling me a network can just fire the most well known Black anchor on the air and just be like “what? It wasn’t racial. Just business.”

BS. Lemon was fired to being Black and speaking his mind.

He also got into a ridiculous argument with Vivek a few days ago. You can look that up.

The only one who was ridiculous was Vivek, who says the Civil War was fought so that Black people could have guns, and that the NRA guaranteed Black people's freedom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l5QqyN_How

Don Lemon’s response was nothing but you can’t say that or have that opinion because I’m black. He didn’t make any legitimate points.

He didn't say Vivek couldn't have an opinion. But Lemon did respond when Vivek said this:

“The part that I find insulting,” Ramaswamy said, “is when you say today Black Americans don’t have those rights after we have gone through civil rights revolution in this country.”

And Don Lemon responded:

“The fact that I find insulting,” Lemon said, “is that you are sitting here telling an African American about the rights and what you find insulting about the way I live, the skin I live in every day, and I know the freedoms that Black and white — that Black people don’t have in this country and that Black people do have.”

Exactly what rights/freedoms do black people NOT have? We'll wait.

+1 He thought he could say it about a southern, Republican, heterosexual female.

I think it was not just the way he treated Nikki or Vivek, but the way he treated his co-hosts. He shut them down repeatedly. Go watch the end of that clip with Vivek--the very end, he was being very rude to Poppy.

Yeah, I used to watch CNN in the morning. I just wanted the news. If I wanted soft-lighted chitty chat I would have watched Today or GMA. But when CNN decided that what America really needed in the morning was another Matt Lauer and a couple of side chicks, they lost me. And that's what they decided to do. Don Lemon as the alpha male - but gay and black, so different! - and a couple of accomplished attractive women who were expected to quietly defer. It was an uncomfortable mess from the beginning. Lemon is a misogynistic, overbearing prima donna with an ego the size of Jupiter. And you felt sorry for the co-hosts. Who needs that kind of tension first thing in the morning? On the upside, instead of watching morning tv, I started doing yoga again. So thanks CNN management

Yeah, most people actually thought it was funny because every guy would have said the same thing.

Completely agree as well. He comes across as an arrogant jerk and I can understand why the co-hosts had issues with him.

Who watches TV "news" anymore? It's become an anachronism.
