Lemon, who joined CNN in 2006 after working for NBC News, was known for his outspoken opinions and criticism of cable news during his tenure. However, his recent comments about former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley during an episode of CNN This Morning sparked swift backlash and may have contributed to his termination.
CNN issued a statement in response to Lemon’s tweet, saying that the network and Lemon “have parted ways.” They also thanked him for his contributions to the network and wished him well in his future endeavors.
