This isn't a joke.
Because of Don Lemon's "sexist" and "ageist" comments about Nikki Haley, CNN sent him to "formal training" (what's essentially a woke reeducation camp).
But despite the internal fire, his job remains safe for the time being. CNN boss Chris Licht told staff late Monday night that he will return to "CNN This Morning" on Wednesday and undergo "formal training."
"I sat down with Don and had a frank and meaningful conversation. He has agreed to participate in formal training, as well as continuing to listen and learn. We take this situation very seriously," Licht said in the memo first obtained by Fox News Digital. "It is important to me that CNN balances accountability with fostering a culture in which people can own, learn and grow from their mistakes. To that end, Don will return to CNN This Morning on Wednesday."
"Formal training" means that Lemon crossed the woke feminists at his network and had to be punished and re-educated in classic Marxist fashion.
Insiders have also indicated to Fox News that, while the CNN boss is letting Lemon return to air later this week, nobody else at CNN wants Lemon to return.
A CNN insider said Lemon has "no defenders" inside the network over the situation and everyone is still "pissed." If he were forced out, "it would probably be welcomed by a lot of people," they said. "I think there's an array of people who maybe like him personally, not professionally."
A second insider, asked whether Lemon was well-liked in the building, replied "not anymore," citing a dramatic shift in recent days...
"I think he should bust his a-- to make the morning show work," a third insider said. "Drop all ego. Play well with others."
"Don Lemon's buffoonery has got to be the worst morning show debacle since Deborah Norville replaced Jane Pauley on the ‘Today' show," a longtime media executive who previously worked at CNN told Fox News Digital. "Chris Licht should cut his losses and fire Don before Don subjects CNN's dwindling audience to more of this misogynistic psychodrama."
Man, it sounds like Lemon is just not in a good spot with his cohorts.
I refuse to play the Left's game and be upset at Lemon for making a faux pas in his comments about Haley.
