Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a post Friday on X that Lemon was arrested, as were three others, "in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."
I just posted this in another thread on the same story. Here’s what I wrote:
Don Lemon was there as an independent reporter interviewing the protestors and church people as the protest was going on. I just watched Legal Eagle’s video about the protest yesterday (definitely watch it if you’re interested in this stuff).
Basically, it boils down to the federal government pushing to get a perp walk (photos of the alleged criminal in handcuffs being walked by “authorities”) to plaster photos of them all over social media to make the accused look bad. As Legal Eagle says, it’s the federal government making content and doing it for the memes.
Once they’re arrested, federal lawyers TRY to get them in front of a judge to get them (protestors and Don’t Lemon now) convicted of something, but in this case a whole bunch of judges have said, “What you’re doing doesn’t make sense and hasn’t been done before, but if you want to try this case in front a grand jury - go ahead.” The judge knows they won’t because they’ll lose so the case eventually gets dropped - but hey, they got some good photos of people they don’t like!

Flip the script. Big smiles for the mugshot, hold your handcruffed wrists high.
