Poor Don Lemon, wasting away in prison after actively participating in the storming of a church during a worship service and scaring people into thinking they were in the middle of another church mass shooting. Oh, wait, he's not in prison. He's out making the media rounds and loving it. There've been studies on how many liberal guests late-night hosts have had vs. conservative guests (like Liz Cheney), so we're not surprised that the producers of Jimmy Kimmel Live immediately jumped on the phone to book Lemon after his arrest.
CNN wasn't there with a camera crew when Lemon was arrested, but he told the saga of his arrest to a sympathetic Kimmel, who agreed that it was a waste of resources to send so many federal agents to arrest Lemon. Lemon surmised that it was just an intimidation tactic meant to embarrass him.
🚨 JUST IN: Don Lemon is furious that he got arrested for storming a church, saying all of the federal agents scared him and that it was too much

“They want to strike fear, intimidate you, embarrass you!” 🤡
How about the churchgoers you terrorized?!pic.twitter.com/g21jvRQyx0
How many agitators did he fill up with coffee and donuts before storming the church with them? Did they really need that many people?
Does he even hear what he's saying? Because I don't think that he does.

Nothing will happen to Don Lemon and he knows it.

Lemon has never looked better. He is enjoying the spotlight. Disgrace

One big skit

No, he is not. He is loving all the attention he is getting. He has been waiting for a break like this.

He knew he was going to get a lot of play out of this. For being so cocky, rude and a giant baby maybe he will go to jail for a month

Maybe.
As far as embarrassed, where's the video of the perp walk? We want to see it.
The way he is reveling in this is astonishing. Absolutely soulless.

Acting like some kind of war hero. He’s a criminal.

He actually loves all the attention and playing the victim.

He's getting exactly what he wanted by that church stunt - to be back in the public eye and playing the victim card. 🙄

We're not getting our hopes up too high that Lemon will see any real consequences for conspiring with these domestic terrorists. Wouldn't it be great if he did, though?
