Don Lemon ‘BENCHED’ by CNN over Nikki Haley attack! ‘Ongoing conversations about Don’s future’

Oh man this is so hilarious. If there’s anything better than a woke getting punished by other wokes for something they thought was woke but it turned out was NOT woke, I don’t know what it is or even how to make sense of that sentence.

But seriously, it’s obvious when Lemon started making his Nikki Haley attack he thought it was sooo clever and a good burn on an Evil Republican, and got stuffed by the two women on the show with him because his comment was so obviously dismissive of women.

Gee I wonder why Don doesn’t like women? I mean we know he doesn’t like women, so…

Anyway, the Daily Beast got some intel:

Don Lemon will not appear Monday on CNN This Morning as his future on the show continues to be discussed at the highest levels within the network, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Ha ha ouch! And there’s more!

Lemon, who was forced to make a groveling apology to CNN staffers on Friday after making offensive remarks about women and aging, had been scheduled to anchor This Morning alongside co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, according to a copy of the CNN anchor schedule obtained and reviewed by Confider.

But by Sunday afternoon a new on-air lineup schedule was sent out by CNN management that had the show being anchored by Harlow and Sara Sidner in New York with Collins in Poland, according to two people familiar with the matter.

“There are ongoing conversations about Don’s future,” a person familiar with the matter told Confider. “He is a constant distraction.”

And even more!

Go. Figure.
