Normally, I’m not for cancelling someone, even if they are a far left hack in media. But in Don LeMon’s case, I’ll make an exception. This scum is not only a misogynist, but also a filthy racist and America hating dirtbag who’s job at CNN befits him perfectly. But time may have finally run out.
CNN staffers are fuming over Don Lemon’s cringeworthy apology for his on-air, sexist diatribe about 51-year-old Nikki Haley — with some calling for the anchor to be fired.
“He has got to go,” a CNN insider told The Post. “He is hurting the brand. Women aren’t even focused on the sexism — it’s the damage to CNN.”
“Everyone is pissed about it,” a second CNN source said, referring to Lemon’s attention-grabbing gaffes, “It makes us the story and it hurts us.”
Lemon delivered an awkward mea culpa during a 9 a.m. Friday call with editorial staffers that was led by an upset CNN CEO Chris Licht, in which Lemon rambled on at length, trying to explain away his remarks before apologizing.
“He said he was sorry two minutes into the call,” one source close to the situation said of Lemon. “It was very self-centered and he lied. It was not his idea to apologize. They made him do it.”
Lemon was conspicuously absent from “CNN This Morning” just 24 hours after he put his foot in his mouth with his rant about 51-year-old Nikki Haley being “not in her prime” — prompting co-host Poppy Harlow to reportedly walk off the set.
