As a guy who will turn 70 this year, I can say as a categorical fact that I am just entering my prime. And I plan to ride that prime for another 30 years. Whether Lemon or Google agree is immaterial.

his statement about Haley being past her prime is probably the LEAST offensive thing of all the offensive things this horrible man has ever said on air.

you gotta laugh at the corporate apology made by Chris Licht. since hardly anyone watches CNN anymore, speaking of hugely distracting from their "great work" is rather besides the point, don't you think?

as for the others you mentioned:

California’s senior Senator Dianne Feinstein is well past her sell by date. she barely knows where she is and what she voted on. then again neither does joe biden.

Hilary Clinton should never run for or hold any office again and that has nothing to do with her age

Vice President Kamala Harris doesn't have two brain cells to rub together and probably didn't back when she was in "her prime" according to google.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is, along with Feinstein, a great argument for term limits

The NY Post is older than all of them but is still a credible source of information

I think he probably thought on some level that it was perfectly acceptable to say what he did because it was about a Republican. He and his ilk have a knee jerk double standard on just about everything when it comes to Republicans. Like Republicans are their shadow selves they indulge in, usually with impunity.

I can tell you from my decades of experience women don’t even enter their prime until about 45! This has nothing to do with childbirth and everything to do with attitude, confidence, and their outlook on life! I travel the world and it does not vary from country to country either.

He’s a vile barely human being. He should be out of a job. But he still has a few intersectional points so they’ll keep him on as long as they can.

All of you wonderful, beautiful ladies are finally getting to see the Leftists that run our institutions for who they have always been. It is about time you call them out.

You nailed it. CNN's moral and journalistic standards change whenever the Democratic Party says so. I say let Don Lemon stay and see how low he and CNN can go.

Any chance we can add the hypocrisy of Dollar Store Dylan calling himself a "girl?" A bunch of us "over the hill old dames" have youtube channels to post "Days of Girlhood" reaction videos. See at YT channels, Peridot Eyes (woman working in a Canadian construction co) and Pink Grandma (woman famer) and below, wildflower farmer, "working like a man outside."

As a side note, my favorite anecdote of CNN hypocrisy was on an episode of Inside Politics with John King back in the middle of the pandemic. The panel was talking about a new D.C. mask mandate for anytime you are in a room with two or more people (if I remember right) in an office. The panel was ripping on how idiotic red states refused to take such measures when it made so much sense and could save lives.

The problem was of course that here was a group of four people inside an office, around a small desk, in D.C......and not a mask in sight.

I think his comments are another example of his ignorance. I’d suspect he was referring to child bearing years but he may be too ignorant to know the difference and he has zero interest in females anyway.

Yep. 100%.

It's interesting to see Lemon's employer casting his assertion as 'upsetting, unacceptable and unfair' rather than bigoted, misogynistic and ignorant, as the libs over there insist any reference to biology to be.

Everything else has been said about the rank hypocrisy this represents. My point is that Jon Haidt's Moral Foundations theory works really well here in showing the intuitions these people are guided by. They have no idea how their own minds,work.
