Journalist Don Lemon arrested after protest that disrupted Minnesota church service
WASHINGTON (AP) — Journalist Don Lemon was arrested in connection with an anti-immigration protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church and increased tensions between residents and the Trump administration, his lawyer said Friday.
Lemon was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he had been covering the Grammy Awards, his attorney Abbe Lowell said.
It is unclear what charge or charges Lemon is facing in the Jan. 18 protest. The arrest came after a magistrate judge last week rejected prosecutors’ initial
Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023, has said he has no affiliation to the organization that went into the church and that he was there as a journalist chronicling protesters.
“Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done,” Lowell said in a statement. “The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.”

That word they use, journalist. I don’t think it means what they think it means. Also, how can one claim First Amendment protection for violating the First Amendment rights of others? He’s hired Hunter’s lawer Abbe Lowell, a real charmer. Wonder who’s paying his freight, the dude charged Hunter over $1500 an hour.

Charges? How about practicing journalism without a proper hairstyle honey? I mean REALLY!!
When life gives you lemons, change the channel to Fox News.
That SRM 1216 looks like an interesting bit of equipment for close quarters work for say, when some wannabe journalist leads an assault and invasion on a church. Catch ’em in the funnel of death and your problems are solved.

Great, then the Woke Left should have no issue with Nick Shirley accompanying and recording an angry mob as they storm a mosque.
Nope. Individual people have rights, not groups or professions.
Key word there being “truth”, NOT opinion.
Don Lemon gave up his first amendment rights as a “journalist” as soon as he joined the mob.
If Don Lemon was a “Journalist” when he went in with that mob like a street corner drug dealer is an “Unlicensed Recreational Pharmacist”!
Lemon? A “journalist”? More like a Leftist Libtard Presstitute.
Call the leopard by his spots, he ain’t no tiger.
When was the last time Lemon was in church on a Sunday? 40 years ago? 50? Never? When was the last time a reporter interrupted a church service to stock a microphone on the parishioners faces? Never?
Lemon wanted a Party.
“Journalist” appears nowhere in the Constitution.
Nada. Nicht. Zip.
Individual -people- have rights. Not classes. Not groups. Not professions.
No “group rights” or special classes of people.
That means Mr Lemon has no more nor less rights to journal, than the folks in that church have to worship. Nor does he have some magic override of their rights.
Resist with all your might the Marxist class struggle bullshit, with which they seek to make a mockery of the Rights endowed by our Creator and protected by our Constitution, by substitution of group privilege and class struggle.
And may I add a hearty GFY to the Marxists. You Lose. Again.
Is inciting a riot considered journalist license?
Don may have to provide almost as may BJ’s as Hunter did to cover some of those exorbitant attorney’s fees. Of course, in Don’s he will be enjoying working off some of his legal bills.
