Trump: Don Lemon is a ‘LOSER’
President Donald Trump is slamming former CNN anchor Don Lemon for his involvement in an anti-ICE protest that stormed a church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Freedom of worship is a cornerstone value of our Republic, enshrined in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Last Sunday, a group of anti-ICE agitators violated this most sacred of rights when they stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota during church services to protest the pastor’s alleged ties to ICE. This gang of left-wing fanatics included fired CNN anchor Don Lemon, who stunningly claimed that they (somehow) had a First Amendment right to attack, enter, terrify, and disrupt a church service — even based on the race and religion of the congregants. Non-lawyer Lemon has refused to back down from his demonstrably wrong and dangerous legal analysis – and has gone even further. For his outrageous criminal conduct and complete lack of remorse, Lemon must be held legally accountable – including federal misdemeanor charges under the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act. In short, Lemon needs to go to federal prison – for years.
In 1994, Democrats had the trifecta: control of the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and Bill and Hillary Clinton’s White House. Left-wing Senator Ted Kennedy, Senate champion of abortion industry monopolist Planned Parenthood, prioritized protecting abortion clinics from pro-life Christian protesters. (Protesters and public scrutiny are bad for the mass murder of unborn children.) Kennedy led the charge in passing the Freedom of Access to Clinical Entrances (FACE) Act, 18 USC § 248. This law criminalizes the use of intimidation or force to deter individuals from entering or working in abortion clinics. But to win the necessary Senate Republican support to overcome a likely legislative filibuster, the compromise statute also prohibits such actions with respect to any house of worship. First-time violators of the FACE Act who do not cause injury generally face federal charges and up to a year in prison. Repeat offenders or offenders who make threats, use force, or cause injury generally face federal crimes and years in federal prison.
Biden’s Justice Department did not hesitate to enforce the FACE Act against abortion clinic protesters; in fact, the Biden DOJ mercilessly enforced the FACE Act. This included tying FACE Act charges to federal conspiracy charges under the Ku Klux Klan Act (18 USC § 241) – passed after the Civil War to punish individuals who conspire to violate the civil rights of others. The Biden DOJ threw the book at older Christians, young pro-life black mothers and the like and jailed them for years. Meanwhile, the Biden DOJ granted amnesty to left-wing radicals who attacked white churches, synagogues, and pro-life pregnancy centers — but undoubtedly not black churches or mosques.
For example, the Biden DOJ jailed Paulette Harlow – at age 75 – for two years on FACE Act and Klan Act charges after she protested outside an abortion clinic. The Biden DOJ had a young Black mother, Bevelyn Williams, thrown in prison for 41 months for FACE Act and Klan Act violations because she protested at a Manhattan abortion clinic.
NYT SLAMS REPORT THAT PROTEST AT MINNESOTA CHURCH SERVICE ‘ADDS TO TENSION OVER ICE TACTICS’
The church collapse of Lemon and his conspirators last Sunday was a violation of the FACE Act and the Klan Act. Cities Church worshipers were inside during a religious service. Suddenly, a group of anti-ICE agitators burst in and started yelling at the churchgoers. Among the worshipers were small children, who were understandably frightened by the events. Just last year, a trans terrorist invaded the Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis, killing two children and wounding dozens of others. As such, the fear that Lemon and his fellow modern klansmen would turn violent was eminently reasonable. And Lemon sat in the middle of the crowd, approaching parishioners — and even the pastor in the pulpit during the church service — with his microphone and questioning them. One man told Lemon that the protesters had no right to come into the church and start shouting. Lemon claimed that the First Amendment permits such misconduct – but he is clearly and dangerously wrong.
The First Amendment, among other things, generally prohibits Congress from unlawfully restricting freedom of speech or religious expression. The actions of the protesters are not protected by the First Amendment or any other provision of law. This church is privately owned. Worshipers asserted their own First Amendment right to freely practice their religion through worship. If the First Amendment protected actions like those of the protesters, people could storm into any religious service and start shouting to protest anything. For example, the pro-Hamas crowd could storm synagogues and rail against the “genocide” in Gaza. Individuals opposed to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani could crash a service at a mosque in protest of his socialist policies. White men could interrupt a black church service to protest DEI policies. The examples of the chaos that would be permissible under non-lawyer Lemon’s absurd legal theory are endless.

Fortunately for a decent society, Lemon’s legal theory is not the law. Neither the Supreme Court nor any court has ever sanctioned the storming of a religious service by protesters to engage in such disruptive misconduct. The behavior of these agitators disrupted the worshipers’ First Amendment rights, but Lemon appears to have no respect for these First Amendment rights. That includes Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a radical leftist disgrace. When asked about the storming of the church, Ellison responded that “[n]one of us is immune to the voice of the public.” This absurd statement crumbles under the slightest scrutiny. Would Ellison, a Muslim, support people who burst into a mosque service shouting that all Muslims should be deported? Of course not. He would shout Islamophobia and denounce the offenders.
PASTORS WARNING OF ‘HILLING EFFECT’ AFTER ANTI-ICE STIRERS STORM MINNESOTA CHURCH SERVICE
Lemon also claimed that he covered the meeting only as a journalist. Even if that is true, several individuals have made the same argument regarding the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. These people were inside the Capitol and were not involved in any violence. However, Biden’s Justice Department still accused them of wrongdoing. Journalists are subject to trespass laws just like everyone else; otherwise journalists could climb over fences and enter the garden without permission. Journalists could even enter the homes of individuals under this absurd theory. Lemon also claimed he had no idea the protesters, who are affiliated with Black Lives Matter, were going to church until they arrived.

But like the New York Post reported“Don Lemon admitted that he was embedded with anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis and knew of their plans before they stormed into a St. Paul church during Sunday services — despite claiming he was there as a journalist and had no prior knowledge of what was going on.”

Lemon and his co-conspirators clearly violated the federal FACE Act. And these criminals are facing a new possible charge under the modern version of the Ku Klux Klan Act. Here Lemon and his fellow modern klansmen conspired to deprive the pastor and his parishioners of their right to worship by storming their church. The law also provides for potential civil liability for state officials who fail to act to stop such illegal behavior. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison, two modern-day allies, appear to be taking no real steps to hold these anarchists accountable; Indeed, Ellison seemed to be making a statement of defense for their despicable behavior.

Minnesota has descended into lawlessness. Billions of taxpayer dollars are wasted through widespread fraud, especially against the Somali community. Because of the deranged anti-ICE rhetoric of bumbling Confederate leaders Walz, Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (i.e., calling the federal government’s presence an invasion and claiming Minnesota is at war with the federal government), modern-day Minnesota klansmen like Lemon have good reason to think it’s open season on federal law enforcement — because state authorities won’t do anything about violence directed at ICE and even against civilians supposedly associated with ICE. Those who stormed the church – especially Lemon – should receive charges to punish them and send a crystal clear message to all other contemporary klansmen considering a similar act. We cannot tolerate this inflammatory and bigoted misconduct, and any perpetrator like Lemon should spend a long time in federal prison.
