On Friday, activist podcaster Don Lemon was arrested after being indicted by a grand jury. Lemon claims he is being targeted for his ‘journalism,’ but reality vehemently disagrees with him. In fact, he has been charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violating the FACE Act, which makes it a federal crime to interfere with religious worship. See, no mention of Lemon’s ‘journalism.' Based on his past statements, Lemon should be happy.
Check out this CNN flashback. (WATCH)

Particularly not Donny Lémon

He was so adamant about this.

I hope they show this as evidence during his trial

That would be hilarious.
Posters say Lemon got schooled today.
Looks like he finally learned that first hand today.

And it’s glorious.

That’s right, Don, nobody is above the law, and that especially applies to you…

Those thinking Lemon is learning a lesson should know better. ‘Journalists’ cannot learn; they lack that ability.
‘Journalists’ love repeating the ‘No one is above the law’ mantra and praising the wisdom of grand juries until one indicts a buddy. (WATCH)
Leftwing media is hyperventilating about Don Lemon’s indictment by a grand jury.

But they had a very different view when it came to Trump.
Because grand juries look at "facts and evidence."
Because “that’s the way the system works." pic.twitter.com/ediIvIJQVr
Says two of the smartest people in fake news journalism😂🤡

Such an honor!
Commenters say Lemon’s fellow ‘journalists’ are having a hard time coping with their standards being applied to their team.
They are just in shock that after so many years, someone on the left is actually being held accountable.

So much good news today.
Sounds like Lemon might have some cell mates very soon.
Funny how selective outrage works — years of cheering on egregious lawfare battles against Trump, and suddenly the process looks outrageous when the spotlight shifts. Principles shouldn’t change based on the target.

I bet those words are tasting pretty sour right about now.

Sadly, Lemon won’t lose his zest for cringey self-importance until he gets his first taste of real accountability behind bars. Hopefully, it’s coming.
