Don Lemon gets away with a slap on the wrist
The Spectator ^ | 22 Feb 2023 | Roger Kimball

Posted on 02/22/2023 6:40:13 PM PST by Rummyfan

CNN should have taken this golden opportunity to shed one of its most embarrassing acts

As for promoting policies that actually harm women — for example, encouraging confused men to parade around in women’s clothes, compete on sports teams against women, and even mutilate themselves in a vain attempt to become women — well, such insane policies have the bad housekeeping seal of woke approval. So they are firing on all cylinders in politically correct redoubts like CNN.

So Licht welcomed Lemón back from his little timeout. This morning, Lemón issued one of the those grating mock apologies that minor celebrities emit when caught out in some misdemeanor. “I appreciate the opportunity to be back on @CNNThisMorning, today,” the mildly chagrined mouthpiece tweeted. “To my network, my colleagues and our incredible audience — I’m sorry. I’ve heard you, I’m learning from you, and I’m committed to doing better.”

Note that Nikki Haley was not mentioned in this mock apology.

Not that it matters, of course. Nikki Haley is not going to be president, but she is still very much in her prime. Something that no one would say about the pathetic Don Lemón.

There has been online chatter from local news blogs that there is a small chance Don Lemon may end up working on one of the network news shows up here in the San Francisco area.
We shall see.

Homisexual hatred and mocking of women is tolerated.

I don’t care for Lemon but I’m against canceling people. We need him around for the laughs.

He does seem to be able to do whatever he wants there at CNN.   If Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttjiggle finally gets fired for his blatant ineptitude, maybe Lemon can get CNN to replace his female cohosts with Pervert Pete.   (They would probably enjoy a real rapport with each other.)

I never watch him, but based on news reports about him over time, you'd have to say that he does provide fairly regular "foot-in-mouth" entertainment, doesn't he?

CNN should not only keep Lemon, they should hire more freaks like him. Maybe if Sam Brinton manages to stay out of prison he could join CNN in the primetime lineup.

If your gayday ain’t pinning the needle you may need recalibration.

Did his mother do that to him?

If the slap was any lower, Don LeMon would have enjoyed it.
