Update: The DoJ announced a probe.
The DOJ has put Don Lemon on notice after he stormed a church with the anti-ICE radicals. The leftists were screaming and chanting during a service. Lemon live-streamed it and was aggressive with the pastor.
“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo-journalism of disrupting a prayer service,” Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, chided Lemon on X.
“You are on notice!” she wrote, noting in a follow-up post that the FBI has been “activated” and accusing the protesters of “desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”
Lemon probably only received a warning because he claimed he wasn’t part of the group or the action.
Why not arrest the group leaders?
Personally, I’d like to see the FBI surging in Minnesota.
The pastor nudged Lemon, and the media claims he pushed Lemon. It was a nudge.
Outside of Cities Church, Lemon spoke with civil rights attorney and social justice activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, who said she was part of something called Operation Pull Up. Essentially, protesters and activists show up at what they perceive to be a “key location” to disrupt a business. Specifically, they were there to target the church’s pastor. They want him gone.
David Easterwood is the pastor of Cities Church.
The pastor supports ICE, and Ms. Armstrong said he is not acceptable. She decided he can’t be in this church.
“They cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our community and who killed Renee Good,” said Armstrong, who is also a reverend.
Lemon and the radicals violated the FACE Act, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, and should have been arrested. Democrats arrested people who prayed in front of abortion clinics and, in some cases, gave them years in prison under the FACE Act. We need to follow their example. The FACE Act covers abortion clinics and places of worship. Everyone who was in that church should have been detained.
I am sorry Ms. Armstrong is so confused. ICE are the good guys, and Renee Good lost her life because of the radical left and their shenanigans. These radicals are using people. Some of these people probably have good intentions. Leftists under the Democrat Party banner convince them that law enforcement officers are the bad guys. In reality, the Leftists are the bad guys.
The right is too gutless to respond. The left knows it.
I will believe it when I see it happen. Until then, I know that if I want someone to go have a margarita with at the local tiki bar, I call Pam. That’s about it. Trump has let this do-nothing AG go on for so long that he is also complicit. Hate to say it, but that is my opinion.… Read more »
Being put “on notice” is meaningless. The DoJ is standing down on Minnesota, and most everything else important. This is sabotage. I see Blanche now goes on TV to do the act instead of Bondi. If Trump cannot handle them then he is not much of a leader. Bondi is busy with things like the Israeli-American Council paying tribute to… Read more »
On notice for what? DemoCriminals who are guilty of major felonies walk our streets with no fear of arrest, let alone prosecution and prison…thanks to do nothing Blondi.
