Don Lemon Fired For Being Far Too Good At Being Obnoxious

It happened in April. Gay Don Lemon was so good at generating contempt and being obnoxious that America finally decided we had quite enough of him.

Nikki Haley, who had criticized Lemon’s statements as sexist and used the incident to fundraise in February, took to Twitter to call Lemon’s ouster “a great day for women everywhere,” linking to the beverage sleeves emblazoned with “Past my prime? Hold my beer.”

Lemon used to host the prime-time “Don Lemon Tonight” but moved when the network launched “CNN This Morning” last November, just before the U.S. midterm elections, as one of the first major programming moves under Licht.

He attracted negative attention last fall by saying that the U.S. men’s soccer team should be paid more than the women’s team, saying that the men were “more interesting to watch.”
