Don Lemon Will Return to CNN Following Sexist Comments

Embattled CNN anchor Don Lemon absent for a third day on his morning show. Don will be back with us tomorrow. He's set to return tomorrow, but only after undergoing sensitivity training today. A memo was sent out at 10.34 last night telling staffers that Lemon has agreed to participate in formal training. The company has a number of resources and Don is committed to our recommendation. Lemon caused a firestorm when he took on presidential hopeful Nikki Haley because she questioned whether Joe Biden is too old to be president.

This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that I think it's a wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn't in her prime. He apologized, but the damage was done. Well, and as Don Lemon told us on CNN, women actually can't run for president because he said we're past our prime once we get to our forties. But since you have to be 35 to run, it's like this really tight window between 35 and 40.

There was speculation that Don might not return. My understanding is this is taken very seriously by CNN. A lot of staffers were not happy about this. Women who worked for CNN felt that the remarks were just off kilter out of line.
