Google it. Everybody at home, when is a woman in her prime, it says 20s, 30s and 40s,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I\u2019m just saying Nikki Haley should be careful about saying that politicians are not in their prime, and they need to be in their prime when they serve. Because she wouldn\u2019t be in her prime according to Google or whatever it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lemon responded by saying, \u201cTo be clear, I am NOT calling for competency tests for se-x-ist middle-aged CNN anchors; only for people who make our laws and are 75+.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heaton has long been one of the only openly conservative Christian actresses in Hollywood, and she\u2019s never afraid to tell it like it is.<\/p>\n<p>What Lemon said about women is unforgivable, and there aren\u2019t enough stars in Hollywood speaking out against his comments.
