Longtime CNN host Don Lemon is out at the cable news network a little over two months after apologising to viewers for on-air comments about Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, CNN announced.

“CNN and Don have parted ways,” CNN chairman Chris Licht said in a memo to staff that was also posted on the network’s communications Twitter account.
