Time to say it to the mirror, don.
Remember, kids, this idiot also asked a plane expert, aloud, on live tv, whether aliens had something to do with the disappearance of Flight MH370. This naturally happened during cnn’s round the clock “coverage” thereof.

I think Don needs to answer why women are “past their prime” when they hit 50 but men aren’t. I just want to see the expressions and mental gymnastics he’ll deploy. 
Edit: and I should point out I’m gonna be 43 this year, so prime to me seems like a relative number. At least for my knees.

Yep. In the most generous interpretation I can muster, he was trying to say something like, “if she thinks politicians above a certain age are ‘past their prime,’ she’d better be careful, because according to a Google search, she, as a woman, is already past her prime. Aha, gotcha!”
Such a shit take.
Such a shitty premise in the first place.

(FWIW, If you Google when women are in their “prime” BTW, it says 30-39. For men it says 13.

Well what is formal training? Maybe he will return and be a misogynist ballet dancer?
“You have 24 hrs to train Don Lemon to be the principal dancer for the New York Ballet.”
Probably be about as useful as whatever they are doing unless they go full Clockwork Orange on his retraining.

Finally, a good reason for Congressional Republicans to launch an investigation into Google.

I suspect it comes from the same sources used for violent cops and managers of companies that lack a diverse workforce. It might be a seminar or a series of expensive classes offered by a company that they know won’t teach most folks a single thing. Bonus points if they can write it off on their corporate taxes, too. Based on what’s been happening to CNN’s management, training in this case is probably performative (prove me wrong, Chris Licht). This article has a few figures on how bad some of that training tends to be, as well as what is effective:
