CNN’s Don Lemon, 56, claims Nikki Haley, 51, ‘isn’t in her prime’ | New York Post

“CNN This Morning” co-host Don Lemon caused some on-air tension and triggered an uproar on social media Thursday after claiming GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley was not “in her prime” — and should not comment on the age of other politicians.

Lemon, 56, was responding to Haley, 51, calling for mental competency tests for politicians over the age of 75 in her presidential campaign kickoff speech Wednesday.

“This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable,” Lemon began. “I think it’s the wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians are suddenly not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime.”

To the bewilderment of co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, Lemon then said: “A woman is considered to be in their prime in [their] 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.”
