Don Lemon Is In Hot Water After His Latest Stunt In Minnesota

ST. PAUL, MN- Former CNN host Don Lemon, who was unceremoniously fired from the failed network and has taken to being a failure as a podcast host, may soon find himself in legal jeopardy after his latest stunt. 

The Gateway Pundit reports that Harmeet Dhillon, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, announced they plan to charge Lemon under the Ku Klux Klan Act after he accompanied anti-ICE lunatics who stormed a Baptist church in Minneapolis on Sunday, interrupting worship and terrorizing church attendees, including children. 

The Ku Klux Klan Act, otherwise known as the Enforcement Act of 1871, prohibits conspiracies to threaten, injure, or intimidate individuals to prevent them from exercising their constitutional rights, including the right to Freedom of Religion, as guaranteed by the First Amendment. 

According to reports and by Lemon’s convenient appearance at the church, he had foreknowledge of their plans to target the church, Cities Church, which was conducting a service at the time. 

Lemon, not often regarded as the sharpest knife in the drawer, was seen on video footage recorded by his own team discussing a “secret operation” with activists, confirming they had the church’s address, while instructing his staff not to reveal the location. 

“We’re not going to give any of the information away,” the genius Lemon said in one clip. 

Lemon attempted to play coy, at one point saying, “We don’t know what’s happening. We kind of do, but we don’t know how it’s going to play out, right?” 

The unhinged anti-ICE mob entered the sanctuary, shouting “justice for Renee Good,” the misinformed anti-ICE agitator who thought it wise to attempt to run down an ICE agent in Minneapolis. The agent fired at Good in self-defense, killing her. 

The church was apparently targeted because one of the pastors at the church is allegedly “connected” to ICE, Fox News Digital reported. One of the unhinged demonstrators claimed the disruption was a “clandestine mission.” 

The church lists eight pastors who serve in various roles within the congregation, including a man named David Easterwood, who shares the same name as the acting director of ICE’s St. Paul field office. Fox News Digital reached out to ICE to verify if the two individuals were one and the same, but had not yet confirmed any details. 

Lemon claimed that neither he nor his staff knew where they were going until they got there. 

“I didn’t even know they were going to this church until we followed them there…Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism,” Lemon claimed, clearly trying to claim some odd sort of First Amendment right to free speech. Yet on arrival at the church, Lemon said, “We are here. I think maybe if you just have it on the church,” directing the camera. 

The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ isn’t buying it. 

On Monday, Dhillon appeared on The Benny Show and outlined the legal implications of Lemon’s stunt. 

“The Klan Act is one of the most important federal civil statutes,” Dhillon said. “It makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens. Whenever people conspire to do this, the Klan Act can be used. 

Dhillon noted that there were parallels to what happened at the St. Paul church to the use of the FACE Act against pro-life demonstrators outside abortion clinics, a law that was used numerous times by the Biden DOJ. 

“Everyone in the protest community needs to know that the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down and prevent this from happening and put people away for a long time,” Dhillon said. 

Dhillon noted that if peaceful pro-life grandmothers can face felony charges for praying outside clinics, then activists and so-called journalists who disrupt churches should expect the same accountability. 

Some on the right questioned why arrests were not made either at the scene or immediately thereafter. Dhillon explained on X:

“To those asking where the arrests are: MN state prosecutors could have made arrests yesterday. The DOJ must first go before a federal judge to obtain an arrest warrant. Make no mistake: AG Pam Bondi & The Justice Dept will pursue federal charges in this case.” 

After the agitators accosted churchgoers, DHS responded with a scathing post:

“Agitators aren’t just targeting our officers: Now they’re targeting churches too,” the post read. “They’re going from hotel to hotel, church to church, hunting for federal law enforcement who are risking their lives to protect Americans.” 

The DHS then accused Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) for “whipping these mobs into a frenzy and then allowing them to run rampant.”

“We won’t be deterred,” DHS said. “ICE isn’t going anywhere.” 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the leftist agitators confronting churchgoers in a post on X:

“President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship,” Leavitt wrote. “The Department of Justice has launched a full investigation into the despicable incident that took place earlier today at a church in Minnesota.”
