CNN’s Don Lemon has been in the news for the past few days for comments Nikki Haley made about her underage age.
Funny thing is, this thought has never stopped Dan Lemon from praising women like Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and others, all Democrats and all older than Nikki Haley.
And what about Michelle Obama? She is 59 years old. Is she beyond her years?

Don Lemon praises WH hopefuls Clinton, Harris, Warren, Klobuchar, older than Nikki Haley when she ran
CNN anchor Dan Lemon made it clear that he thought Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley was “not in her prime,” but he had a different take on the Democratic women who sought the Oval Office.
Lemon cited “Google” to argue Thursday that Haley, 51, will have an uphill battle in winning the presidency because women are in their prime in their 20s, 30s and 40s, responding to her comments calling it “obligatory psychosis.” Ability tests for politicians above 75 years.
But the 56-year-old CNN host, who was pulled from her solo gig in primetime for a morning show with two co-hosts, held a different standard to the many female politicians who have run for president, all of them older. than Haley when they ran.
Also, all Democrats.
In February 2019, Massachusetts Sen. When Elizabeth Warren announced her candidacy at age 69, Lemon did not comment that she was still “in her prime.” Instead, his entire focus was on then-President Trump’s “racial attacks” and “crimes” against Warren, who he famously referred to as “Pocahontas” for her dubious past claims of Native American heritage.
Then of course, there’s the obvious example of Joe Biden in his 80s.
Don Lemon may be on the way out on CNN. He was moved from primetime to a morning show that now gets worse ratings than it did before he joined. In addition, he attacked women colleagues and caused controversy.
Where do they go if they get booted from the morning show? Nowhere else. His career at CNN is on life support and he knows it. That’s why he shoots himself in the foot.
