Don Lemon on Wednesday will return to “CNN This Morning,” but his network is requiring him to undergo sensitivity training in response to his recent offensive comments about women.
In a memo to staff Monday, CNN Chairman Chris Licht said Lemon will return to the anchor desk he shares with Kaitlan Collins and Poppy Harlow.
The note put to rest speculation that Lemon would be fired over the imbroglio, which has become a major distraction for the network. Lemon was unexpectedly off the air for “CNN This Morning” on Monday, his second day away from the network since campaign announcement last week, which focused on the advanced age of the current leadership and presented herself as a representative of a new generation.
