Don Lemon is Ready for His Close-Up

When Don Lemon and a group of agitators stormed a church in Minneapolis, they so terrorized those inside that a woman broke her arm trying to flee, and children were seen quietly sobbing as their parents tried to comfort them. To Don Lemon, this was journalism. To a Grand Jury, however, he broke the law.

For most Americans, getting arrested might be the worst thing that’s ever happened to them. To Don Lemon, however, it is, without a doubt, the best.

Before this, Don Lemon’s YouTube channel was languishing in obscurity, with only Jennifer Welch and JoJo from Jerz wine moms tuning in. Now, he, like Jimmy Kimmel, has been transformed into a free speech martyr.

Don Lemon’s ego was already bigger than Texas before his life was transformed when he made kids cry in a Minneapolis church. At first, I thought, please no. We don’t need another one. We don’t need the bloviating, the “it’s a chilling escalation” op-eds. We don’t need the self-righteous speeches. He’ll go down in history books. Everyone will continue to pretend free speech is under threat.
