Don Lemon: Invading Church Services Is Journalism

Don Lemon, and a whole host of liberal media talking heads and Democrats believe the 1st Amendment gives him every right to be a “journalist.” The parishioners at Cities Church who were exercising their 1st Amendment right to freedom of religion don’t count according to their liberal betters.

There was a court hearing yesterday afternoon, after his arrest. Evidently, according to Don himself, Karen Bass showed up in the courtroom in support of the Lemonhead. That said, the judge freed him on his own recognizance. AND Lemon will get to jaunt off to Europe or wherever at some point in May. 

A defiant Don Lemon vowed to fight the charges brought against him by federal prosecutors Friday, after he and another independent journalist were arrested in connection with a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

“I have spent my entire career covering the news – I will not stop now,” Lemon said outside the federal courthouse in Los Angeles on Friday after being released from custody. “In fact, there is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable.”

Lemon and independent journalist Georgia Fort were livestreaming as dozens of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protestors rushed into Cities Church on January 18, interrupting a church service and leading to tense confrontations.

Federal prosecutors alleged the journalists participated in a “takeover-style attack” of the church and intimidated congregants.

So, according to the media, it’s only speculation that Don Lemon and his merry band of rabid agitators went into Cities Church, disrupted the services, intimidated church goers, and traumatized children.
