Hello, Visual News viewers. I'm Olivia Lane, and here's the latest on a verbal feud between former CNN anchor Don Lemon and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has taken to social media, criticizing Nikki Haley for seeking grace after she failed to mention slavery as a cause of the Civil War. Lemon highlighted what he perceives as a lack of reciprocity, pointing out that he wasn't offered the same grace when he made controversial remarks about Haley in February.
Lemon's remarks earlier this year were in response to Haley's speech calling for "mental competency tests" for politicians over 75. On air, he commented that Haley was not in her prime, leading to widespread criticism. In response, Haley sent a fundraising email to her supporters, labeling Lemon a "CNN liberal" and including a link to the controversial exchange. Lemon later apologized, calling his comments "inartful and irrelevant."
