On Friday, activist podcaster Don Lemon pleaded ‘not guilty’ in his church invasion case in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon is accused of violating churchgoers’ right to worship as he accompanied shouting anti-ICE activists into the church. Their intrusion disrupted the church’s service and frightened families. Lemon maintains he didn’t help plan the demonstration and was only practicing journalism.
Here’s more from Fox News. (WATCH)

Lemon’s already shared a lot of videos. He live-streamed the church attack. It remains to be seen what other evidence is on his phone.
Lemon claims to be a ‘journalist’ but commenters see him as a Democrat Party activist. Others go a step further and label him a ‘terrorist.’
The man who filmed himself storming into a church and terrorising Christians at worship pleads not guilty to storming into a church and terrorising Christians at worship.

Imagine being part of Don Lemon's support team, and thus showing up to support Don Lemon's self-appointed right to burst onto private property and terrorise anybody he finds.

Disrupting a worship service should never be seen as a legitimate form of protest or normalized.
A defiant Don Lemon spoke with the press outside the courthouse. He says he’s innocent. (WATCH)

“Will not be intimidated”

…but will intimidate in a church service with families present. SMH
The fact that he plays a victim after storming a church is insane

Lemon’s interpretation of the First Amendment is insane.
After speaking with the press, Lemon got into a vehicle as his supporters cheered him. (WATCH)

The prosecution better get this right! I want to see a conviction and the smile wiped off that smug face!

Don is an attention whore. He says it’s about “Filming and reporting” yet it is never about the issues and always about him. That is not journalism that is attention seeking.

Lemon is getting the attention he craves. Hopefully, the victims in the church attack get what they deserve: Lemon behind bars.
