Don Lemon Says ‘Nikki Haley Isn’t in Her Prime’ Because She’s 51

LEMON: “This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think that — I think it’s a wrong road to go down. She says people — you know, politicians or something not in their prime.

HARLOW: “What are you talking — wait.”
LEMON: “— that’s according to me.”
HARLOW: “Prime for what?”
LEMON: “It depends. I mean, it’s just like prime. If you look it up it’ll say — if you — if you Google when is a woman in her prime? It’ll say 20s, 30s and 40s. I don’t necessarily —“
HARLOW: “40s, so I’ve gotten a decade.”
LEMON: “— I’m not saying I agree with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that you know, politicians aren’t in their prime and they need to be.”

LEMON: “Don’t shot the messenger, I’m just saying what the facts are.”
HARLOW: “— for being president.”
LEMON: “Google it, everybody at home, ‘When is a woman in her prime?’ It says 20s, 30s, and 40s. And I’m 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, because she wouldn’t be in a prime according to you know —“
HARLOW: “Google?”
LEMON: “— Google or whatever it is.”
