Many have condemned comments made by Don Lemon about women being “past their prime” in their 40s and 50s. Conservative pundit Candace Owens might be the first person to come to his defense.
During her podcast Tuesday, Owens came to the CNN This Morning anchor’s defense, saying he was correct in his assertation.
“People are gonna force me to actually defend Don Lemon for saying something that simply made sense,” Owens said. “People are outraged.”
She then marveled at Lemon being forced to take “formal training” after his comments, believing that he was simply stating a fact.
“I’m sorry, what was wrong with what Don Lemon just said? Is it the part that it happens to be true? It’s not allowed at CNN? Why is everybody acting so offended by the fact that he basically said water is wet?”
Owens then questioned why conservatives were so upset with the language used by Lemon, comparing what he said to former President Donald Trump.
“Here’s the best part about the conservatives that are taking the bait on this, what if Trump had said that?” questioned Owens.
“Now all of a sudden, Don Lemon says it and we’re pretending that we need to be hysterical and crying about it. Give me a break. This is going into the category of me wondering whether or not conservatives are accidentally becoming what they hate, right? Are we becoming the snowflakes?”
