Patricia Heaton drags Don Lemon for saying women over 50 are past their prime

Featured Replies

I think he's trolling or no longer cares because no experienced tv host would say that without knowing he'll get dragged.

That segment was the cringiest thing I’ve witnessed in a while & he just kept doubling down on his idiotic take. :biblio:

First Ewwwww.... Don gross. 

Second where's the video of him saying it. It doesn't seem like he would do it but no purpose. The entire segment. 

Don Lemon, well known egomaniac, prissy old queen, workplace nightmare, and public menace, said something offensive regarding women? I’m shocked

what he say

Noting that Haley is calling for “mandatory mental competency tests” for politicians older than 75, co-host Kaitlan Collins observed that this was a not-so-subtle shot at former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. Haley has also declared that “America is not past our prime—it’s just that our politicians are past theirs.”

But the conversation quickly veered off-course when Lemon decided to bring women’s fertility and sexual peak into the mix.

“This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable,” he declared. “I think it’s the wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians are suddenly not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime. Sorry, when a woman is in their prime in 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.”

Co-host Poppy Harlow quickly interjected, wondering what her colleague was talking about. Undeterred, Lemon said he was merely relaying the facts, which you could find “if you google when is a woman in her prime.”

Harlow, who turned 40 last year, snarked that she has “another decade” left, only for Lemon to double down on his argument.

“I’m not saying I agree with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that, you know, politicians are in their prime,” he stated.

“Are you talking about prime for, like, childbearing? Or are you talking about prime for being president?” Harlow retorted.

“Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just saying what the facts are,” Lemon insisted. “Google it. Everybody at home, when is a woman in her prime? It says 20s, 30s and 40s. I’m just saying Nikki Haley should careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime, and they need to be in their prime when they serve. She would not be in her prime according to Google, or whatever it is.”

The way Twitter and the media turn against LGBT POC is sick. :biblio:

Okay sis I think it's time for this trolling dupe to be retired by the mods.

Telling female anchors to Google when a woman is in her prime? What a moron. 

 

Somehow I doubt Miss Heaton would be mad at a Republican male had said this same thing. It seems liberal men are the only ones expected to behave well, even by Republicans and conservatives.

Oh please. What Don Lemon said was vile and absolutely cancel-worthy. :biblio: 

 

And it seems like CNN agrees. Looks like he might be fired by the end of the week. :clap3:

“There are ongoing conversations about Don’s future,” a person familiar with the matter told Confider. “He is a constant distraction.”

 

CNN CEO Chris Licht rebuked Lemon on Friday for the remarks about 51-year-old Nikki Haley being past her prime, saying they had left him “disappointed.”

 

“His remarks were upsetting, unacceptable, and unfair to his co-hosts, and ultimately a huge distraction to the great work of this organization,” Licht told staffers on the 9 a.m. editorial call, according to a readout of the call obtained by Confider.
