The Story
The incident unfolded on Jan. 18, when fanatics entered Cities Church in St. Paul. One of the leaders of the frightening demonstration said that one of the pastors is the acting field director of the St. Paul ICE field office.
Even if he is, so what?
The woman, a Ms. Armstrong, said they won’t allow him to serve as a pastor in the community.
“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 was involved before, during, and after the invasion. He live-streamed it and harassed the pastor and parishioners.

If he walks things will get crazy. The gov. put thousands of trespassers in jail for nothing. He walks, IDK. Some nut will CK him. Wait for it.
It will not go further than arrested…
Democrats are above the law, and apparently this is not about to change.
He’ll enjoy the cavity search. Might even ask for seconds. Lib media is calling him a journalist.. No, he’s a gay leftist activist.
Arrested? Well that’s all great, but if the Boring and Tired old Big Mouth, Limp Wrist, Don Lemon isn’t given any Punishment and is just let go. What does that signal to the Rest of the Worthless Democrat Malcontents and Fat Mouthes that cannot stop Lecturing and Scolding the Rest of us as “THEY” engage in their wonton Criminality.

Lemon has already been released without bail. Big surprise, huh?
It’s news, and all good and fine, but honestly I don’t give a rat’s arse about Dun Lemone. Did you hear about what Pam Bondi did today? No? That’s because she didn’t do anything today. I care about people like Hillary Rotten Clinton getting arrested, and Joe Biden the Lunatic, the autopen operators, Alex Majerkas, Comedy I mean Comey, the… Read more »
