CNN staffers call for Don Lemon’s ouster after ‘self-serving,’ tone-deaf apology

Evan Agostini/Invision/APLemon’s apology follows a drumbeat of self-inflicted wounds, including The Post’s report that Lemon screamed at his “CNN This Morning” co-anchor Kaitlan Collins, after she interrupted him on air in December. Lemon’s blowup reportedly upset his co-hosts Kaitlan Collins (L) and Poppy Harlow (R), as network boss Licht scrambles to clean up the anchor’s mess.
