Don Lemon’s controversial comments about presidential candidate Nikki Haley and when women are past their “prime” were noted by the White House as press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre referenced the remark at Friday’s press briefing.
Jean-Pierre briefed the White House Press Corp. along with NSC coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby. After Kirby, 60, finished his brief, Jean-Pierre, 48, commented, “Neither of us have hit our prime yet.”
“Oh, we’re back to my age again,” he responded.
A reporter followed up later referencing Jean-Pierre’s earlier comment and asking, “Does the president have anything to say about this national conversation that was sparked after a claim that was seemingly made in defense of the president that Nikki Haley is not in her prime because women hit their prime in their 20s, 30s and 40s?”
