When you have been tuned into CNN this morning (we’ll pause for laughter), you might have seen that for the second straight enterprise day, anchor Don Lemon was lacking from the set of “CNN This Morning”.

Lemon was conveniently given one other time off Monday, bringing his “missed present” complete since his sexist remarks about Presidential Candidate Nikki Haley as much as 2. 

Sources at the moment are saying that “a brand new schedule is in place per CNN administration”, absent Lemon, and that “Poppy Harlow will probably be accompanied by Sara Sidner and Kaitlan Collins”. 

The supply instructed the Submit Millennial this weekend: “There are ongoing conversations about Don’s future. He is a continuing distraction.”

“His remarks have been upsetting, unacceptable, and unfair to his co-hosts, and finally an enormous distraction to the good work of this group,” CNN boss Chris Licht stated late final week. 

Recall we reported final week that Lemon’s co-hosts had “stormed off the set” after his good commentary about Nikki Haley, whereby the 57 12 months previous Lemon accused the 51 12 months previous Haley of being “previous her prime”. 

Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins reportedly each took a “properly timed lavatory break” after Lemon’s feedback, earlier than coming again to complete the present. 

The Mail wrote that “the feedback have been the final straw in an already deteriorating relationship between the information professionals, with Collins and Harlow more and more fed up with Lemon’s conduct since approaching board.”

“Nikki Haley is not in her prime, sorry. A girl is taken into account to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and perhaps 40s,” Lemon stated in a broadcast early final week. When his morning present co-host, Poppy Harlow, pushed again on the declare, Lemon instructed her and the CNN viewers to “Google it”. 

The feedback sparked outrage from sources throughout the political spectrum, together with the likes NPR, who referred to the feedback as “sexist”. 

As we famous then, the incident seems to us to be the ultimate swirl of Don Lemon’s TV profession down the bathroom, following the likes of Chris Cuomo and Brian Stelter. 

Recall, again in September 2022 we wrote about Lemon’s apparent demotion from primetime to mornings on CNN. On the time, he stated: “For all those that are on the market saying, ‘Oh, he moved me and with out my —,’ he requested me and I stated sure. I might have stated no. That is my present, I’ve a contract for this present, I made a decision I might take him up on that and take this journey with him. This isn’t somebody shifting me.”
