‘Colossal ego’: Don Lemon’s co-workers turn on CNN anchor

CNN staffers are “annoyed” at Don Lemon after he was accused of making "misogynistic" comments about Nikki Haley, with one colleague criticising the anchor for having a “colossal ego".

A CNN insider made the comments to Radar Online after the anchor was lambasted over his “sexist” remarks about the Republican presidential candidate.

"He has a colossal ego and he's the kind of person who goes around saying he's not going to take the fall for his show flopping, it's not his fault and the network's tanking, and they shouldn't have pushed him out of his primetime slot,” the source said.

"The ratings are way down, the new boss is implementing tough new rules, and no one is happy. All these people were pampered with perks and pats on the back until now and all of a sudden Don, Wolf Blitzer and others are at a point of 'yikes, we're in trouble.'"

So his "prime" time show got cancelled? I guess Don isn't in his "prime", either. He should go home and knit socks.

This man will be 60 in a few years and he has the nerve to say she is not in her This dude is past middle age and not even good looking so maybe they need to find someone to take his place on the morning show.

The only reason he wasn't fired years ago was because he checked off at least two "diversity" boxes and could complain that he was fired because of one or both.

[coryzigzag]

He didn't say that about Clinton when she was running and she's a lot older

[Anthonyuk]

The fact he could say that with his arms out boastfully in between two women shows the level of arrogance the man has.

[sean_miller]

He knew the minute he said it that he'd crossed the line. The problem is he's too proud to walk it back, so he tried to double down... unsuccessfully.

[rachaelcourtnell]

never heard an apology in that statement!!

[hihats]

Don...hands on hips...tells women what a woman's prime is

[leenereen]

He's a lemon in every sense of the word.

[brandonlee]

It’s wonderful that the woman is speaking up😊

[paulkeogh]

Not in her prime? That’s rich coming from a sour old fruit😂

[euanaird]

‘Colossal ego’ The two best words to describe Don Lemon.

[mrf]

The fact that Don Lemon used the word “ inartful “ in his apology, demonstrates that even he regards his job as a performance art and not journalism. Go figure huh!

[bookertee]

Lemon just proved a gay-black can be a bigot.

[daviel]

The fact that his apology wasn't even directed at the subject of his insult tells you all you need to know about the man.

[sallyironic]

Men aged 50 and 60 are not in there prime either. Usually sitting in a doctors office and counting pills.

[crgterry]

I think he might be outta his prime duh.

[CMRinehart]

Don is a fancy boy, the kind that thinks they're very special and so much better than the rest of us.

[ronaldtallent]

This is why people don't watch CNN.

So delicious to see woke culture devour one of its own.
