Call this an apology?
The reference I made to a woman’s “prime” this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it. A woman’s age doesn't define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day.

If you remember Lemon – who supports the aging hasbeen Hillary Clinton and “my doctor says I’m fine” Joe Biden – said this:
Don Lemon: “Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime. Sorry, when a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s, and 30s, and maybe 40s…”

Poppy Harlow: “Are you talking about prime for like child bearing?”

If you or me or any conservative even hinted at something like this, we’d be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.
Nikki responded.
Liberals can't stand the idea of having competency tests for older politicians to make sure they can do the job.
