CNN's Don Lemon Drunk On Air - AGAIN - NYE 2016

CNN's Don Lemon Drunk On Air - NYE 2015

Anchor Don Lemon made a complete fool of himself (AGAIN) and brought shame to CNN (AGAIN) live on New Year's Eve 2016 in New Orleans. He took numerous shots of alcohol on live cable television, and was clearly inebriated on air, going so far as to drunkenly wax poetic about his "relationship issues," and, even worse, had his ear pierced, IN A CROWDED BAR, live, while extremely drunk. (I'm pretty sure it is unethical for any piercer to pierce someone who is impaired).
He was, by anyone's definition, abusing alcohol.
His actions were glorifying alcohol abuse, setting a bad example for all the young people who were watching. His very public drunkeness is an embarrassment to himself, CNN, and broadcast journalists everywhere, as well as to our country as a whole. It pains me to imagine what the rest of the world was thinking about state of our citizens, our news networks and our country as a whole after Don Lemon's drunken debacle.
His conduct and actions were not only embarrassing, but completely unacceptable. And apparently he did this last New Year's Eve as well.
Don Lemon needs to issue an apology to this country. He also needs to be put on leave from CNN and be required to take alcohol classes and go to alcohol counseling, AA, or rehab, before he can return to air on CNN so he can understand why his actions were so reprehensible, and to learn how to change his irresponsible and undoubtedly dangerous drinking behavior.
