On the same day and at nearly the same moment that Tucker Carlson parted ways in a break-up from Fox News, there was another exit of a popular news personality. This one came at less of a surprise, though.
Don Lemon, after a string of controversies at CNN, has been officially AXED!
Lemon announced the news on Twitter, saying he was informed by his agent that he was being terminated.
“I am stunned,” Lemon wrote. “After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly.”
CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lemon first came under fire in February during a segment on “CNN This Morning” in which he remarked that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, 51, was no longer in her “prime.” The comment was made while discussing a suggestion by Haley that candidates over the age of 75 should be subjected to mental competency exams.
“Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry,” Lemon said. “When a woman is considered to be in her prime — in her 20s, 30s and maybe her 40s.”
Editor’s Note: This is a breaking and developing story.
These idiot kids are breaking the law and at the very least should be arrested or at the worst tear gassed… we dont care if you protest peacefully a block away from a SCOTUS house but if you get violent once the republicians get back in power you will be held accountable for your actions (unlike the idiot left) and if you resist it could go very bad for you…so sit your stupid asses down and shut your mouths
I never watched Mr. Lemon except when he became the news from his poor behavior
What took them so long?
Good Riddance…
