And ended up insulting women generally. Haley, 51 years old, announced Tuesday that she will be running for president in 2024. \u201cprime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable,\u201d Lemon. \u201cI think it\u2019s the wrong road to go down. She says people, you know, politicians are suddenly not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn\u2019t in her prime,\u201d Lemon stated during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/things-get-awkward-after-don-lemon-dings-nikki-haley-by-insisting-women-are-in-their-prime-in-their-20s-30s-and-40s\/\">broadcast<\/a>. \u201cSorry, when a woman is in their prime [is] in [their] 20s and 30s and maybe 40s\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you talking \u2014 Wait\u2026,\u201d Harlow quickly interjected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not according to me,\u201d Lemon scrambled. When asked to clarify what he meant by prime, the CNN host replied, \u201cIt depends. It\u2019s just like, prime. If you look it up. If you Google when is a woman in her prime, it\u2019ll say 20s, 30s, 40s\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lemon, who is 56, was discussing the subject of aging politicians being required to take competency tests, which has been a topic of discussion now that President Joe Biden is 80 and recently announced presidential hopeful Donald Trump is 76. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/nikki-haley\">Haley<\/a>, the former governor of South Carolina and onetime U.N. ambassador, was clearly referring to their ages when she made her announcement formal a day later in Charleston, SC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica is not past our prime,\u201d Haley said. \u201cIt\u2019s just that our politicians are past theirs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lemon spent much of the rest of the segment trying to dig himself out of a hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not saying I agree with that,\u201d he insisted. \u201cSo I think she has to be careful about saying that, you know, politicians are in their prime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t shoot the messenger, I\u2019m just saying what the facts are,\u201d he continued. \u201cGoogle it. Everybody at home, when is a woman in her prime? It says 20s, 30s and 40s. I\u2019m just saying Nikki Haley should be careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime, and they need to be in their prime when they serve. She would not be in her prime according to Google or whatever it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is one of the most sexist things a &#8220;news host&#8221; has said in recent memory, but nothing will happen to Don Lemon, of course <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sog0BrrcpC\">https:\/\/t.co\/sog0BrrcpC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benshapiro\/status\/1626223962555568130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 16, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Haley served three terms in the South Carolina House of Representatives before being elected governor in 2010, making her the youngest governor in the country at the age of 38.
