Don Lemon is issuing a mea culpa after saying former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley isn't "in her prime."
During Thursday's episode of "CNN This Morning," Lemon and his co-hosts discussed Haley's comments during her presidential campaign announcement that called for "mandatory mental competency tests for politicians over 75 years old." The 51-year-old politician launched her bid in the Republican race at a rally Wednesday in Charleston, S.C.
Speaking to co-hosts Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins, Lemon, 56, said Haley's "talk about age" makes him uncomfortable and said her comments were the "wrong road" to go down, adding that Haley "is not in her prime."
