I don't watch CNN, but I think I heard someone say Don Lemon made someone smell his sweaty nutsack or something.

I see what you did there.

Apparently there has been some controversy surround him recently. I did a quick Google search and saw some stories from earlier this month about his problematic behavior. The only thing I ever knew about him was he got high on a NYE thing.

The other two women with whom he does his morning show walked out and reportedly said they refused to work with him b/c of his behavior.

Good riddance.

I don't know who he is.

LOL Wake up Don!

You weren't working for Fox!

He crossed the liberal media line last month when he said, in discussion of Nikki Haley, that women in her age range were

"past their prime."

I think that's the story I heard too.  Maybe he'll get a podcast too...lol.

He to CNN was kind of like a Tucker Carlson to FOX News.

Good riddance to both.

Interesting twist:

Don Lemon’s statement about this morning’s events is inaccurate. He was offered an opportunity to meet with management but instead released a statement on Twitter.

While I agree with the good riddance to both, saying that Lemon is in any way analogous to Tucker is just categorically false.

Well FOX does have a recent opening though.....

I don't know who this is, and I feel good about that.

Thats why I said 'kind of like' in the sense of getting their side more riled up, but Carlson was the worst by far. I should've added at part.

He’ll just be replaced by another misogynist.

How un-woke of CNN...what's their end game?

They’re running out of options.

Gay white male was a failure
Ok so make the gay minority male a centerpiece….that fails…what’s left?

Only thing left for CNN is to hire a non binary trans minority person…which I say in jest but I would not be surprised to see it happen since CNN (really, Time Warner) loves checking inclusivity boxes in their hires.

The new leader at CNN has been trying to get the company back to being considered in the middle. I guess this could be a part of that.

Jen Psaki seemingly had her MSNBC deal inked while still standing behind the podium in the WH briefing room.

Karine Jean-Pierre come on down. She knows how to check boxes.

Fox and CNN should just swap Lemon and Carlson straight up like the Rams and Eagles did with Nick Foles and Sam Bradford. Remember that? Of course you don't.
