Don Lemon Suggests Sexism at Play in Criticism of Clinton’s Email Conduct

Don Lemon Suggests Sexism at Play in Criticism of Clinton’s Email Conduct (The Washington Free Beacon)

CNN host Don Lemon suggested Tuesday that sexism was in part responsible for the criticism of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, commenting that as the first woman with a “real shot at winning the White House,” the “men at the top” would have a lot to say about her.

Lemon compared the tumult over Clinton’s emails to fireworks on the Fourth of July, in a clip flagged by media watchdog NewsBusters.

“This is CNN Tonight. I’m Don Lemon. When you’re the first woman with a real shot at winning the White House, you know at least one thing is for sure,” he said. “The men at the top are going to have a lot to say about you. First, I want you to listen to the FBI Director James Comey’s blistering assessment of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.”
