Candace Owens Defends Don Lemon’s Remarks on Women in Their Prime: ‘He Basically Said Water Is Wet’

EXCERPT:

OWENS: "People are going to force me to actually defend Don Lemon for saying something that simply made sense. People are outraged, Don Lemon might lose his job. In fact, they’re going to now make him take diversity and inclusion courses, he's facing all of this pressure because he’s clearly sexist, Don Lemon is clearly sexist because he made a remark about Nikki Haley not being in her prime. I’m sorry, what was wrong with what Don Lemon just said? Is it the part that it happens to be true? Is that allowed at CNN? Why is everybody acting so offended by the fact that he basically said water is wet? Why do people keep being perpetually offended when we acknowledge that as you age, you are no longer in your prime? The girls sitting beside him -- and I’m calling them girls because they're acting like little teenage girls, 'Oh my god, prime? What are you saying?! You're hurting my feelings! Women are in the workplace so that we can cry and be upset and not be able to understand a basic biological fact.' Like only women can give birth? CNN people: 'Waaaaah! How could you say that? Oh my gosh! How could you say that?' Also, women are not in their biological prime when they are 51 years old, like Nikki Haley is. By the way, I’m 33. I want you guys to know something. It’s a secret, don’t tell anybody. I’m not in my biological prime. We just -- women, we don’t peak at 33, we don’t peak at 43, we don't peak at 53. Just like men, we peak when we are younger. And they say, 'What are you talking about? I need you to qualify.' You know exactly what he’s talking about. What do you think that you peak at when you're 51? I can only just offer the question back, right? What do you -- how could you possibly think that as you get older you're somehow what, getting stronger, faster, smarter? None of those things, obviously. And I don’t buy that to be problematic.”
