The Gordon Lemma refers to a class of results in spectral theory which prove that strong local repetitions in the structure of an operator preclude the existence of eigenvalues for said operator. We expand on recent work of Ong and prove versions of the Gordon Lemma which are valid for CMV matrices and which do not restrict the parity of scales upon which repetitions occur. The key ingredient in our approach is a formula of Damanik-Fillman-Lukic-Yessen which relates two classes of transfer matrices for a given CMV operator. There are many examples to which our result can be applied. We apply our theorem to complete the classification of the spectral type of CMV matrices with Sturmian Verblunsky coefficients; we prove that such CMV matrices have purely singular continuous spectrum supported on a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure for all (irrational) frequencies and all phases. We also discuss applications to CMV matrices with Verblunsky coefficients generated by general codings of rotations.
