So Nikki gets a pass for a “sick burn?” Double standards. What Don said was facts. Put your feelings aside and get over it.

As a journalist, Don Lemon is a lemon. 🍋

Don Lemon is too hard-headed and arrogant to apologize. Imagine the big deal he would have made if someone insulted a gay person.

If he is using Google as his reference, he should Google sexist. First, he misquoted Nikki Haley. Then he followed that by trying to insult her. When his co-host said "prime for what, " he came up with the most unintelligent answer. Before he apologizes, if he does, he needs to recognize the error. It was so obvious to me.

Didn't hear donny boy say this about Hillary when she was running.

What would Don know about women, he's never had one. 🤨🤨

[SMITE]

SOMEONE tell Adrienne that Don Lemon is averaging 400, 000 viewers while she's STRUGGLING for 30, 000 it's OBVIOUS she's DESPERATE.

Why is he still on TV? If this guy was a conservative host, would be immediately fired. Donny is sexist and needs to go asap

[KWL]

Adrienne acting HIGH and MIGHTY when ABC FIRED her for SLEEPING Around GMA 🤣🤣 she's auditioning for Fox News or NewsMax. Adrienne's 43 and has a TON of MILES on her

Also, the fact that Nikki responded sexist by criticism of Don being "middle aged" is an irony that is lost on everyone.

[CrowdPleeza]

So should women in their 20's run for president?

[jahbrown]

He's not into women....sure he'd say insulting things like that.

[brickman]

I think he finally overplayed his black gay privileged card

[anthonystar]

ahaha all these she-he women are gonna go ballistic 🙃
POTUS doesn't need a competancy test when he can delegate any task
The Orange Wonder will deal with Chin Face Haley
Trust Me

[NeoNyder]

Why do you keep phrasing this as if Lemon said this about
Nikki Haley when he said it about ALL women which is nonse as someone in their 50s is considered young in the Presidential poltical arena.
