Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon on Saturday shrugged off his indictment for storming an ongoing church service and harassing churchgoers with radical left thugs in an illegal anti-ICE protest and threatened to be even more radical in the future.
Lemon was arrested on Friday morning for his involvement in storming a Minneapolis church earlier this month with deranged leftist activists. Lemon and his fellow anti-ICE insurrectionists illegally invaded the church service, interrupting worship and shutting down the church because the pastor has alleged ties to ICE.
Lemon livestreamed his participation in the event. “This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest,” Don Lemon said as his crowd harassed families with children, explicitly stating his intent to terrorize members of the church. “I’m sure people here don’t like it, but protests are not comfortable.”
As noted in the unsealed indictment, Lemon and his co-conspirators “oppressed, threatened, and intimidated the Church’s congregantsand pastors by physically occupying most of the main aisle and rows of chairs near the front of the Church, engaging in menacing and threatening behavior,(for some) chanting and yelling loudly at the pastor and congregants, and/orphysically obstructing them as they attempted to exit and/or move aboutwithin the Church.”
Then, he refused a request from the pastor to leave the church. While “pepper[ing] him with questions to promote the operation’s message… ignored the pastor’s request and did not immediately leave the Church,” the indictment reads.
Lemon was further involved in the planning stages of the attack on religious freedoms. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Lemon actually admitted that he was embedded with co-conspirator and BLM activist Nekima Armstrong and the group of rabid protestors and that he had direct knowledge of the plan but could not disclose it to his audience. “These operations are surprise operations,” Lemon said on his livestream. “Again, we can’t tell you where they’re going.”
As noted in the indictment, “At the pre-operation briefing, defendants ARMSTRONG and ALLEN advised other co-conspirators, including defendants KELLY, LEMON, [], LUNDY, CREWS, FORT, and [] about the target of their operation (i.e., Cities Church) and provided instruction on how the operation would be conducted once they arrived at the Church.”
“During a discussion with defendant ARMSTRONG at thepre-op briefing, (a) defendant LEMON thanked defendant ARMSTRONG forwhat she was doing and assured her that he was ‘not saying … what’s going on’ (ie, was not disclosing the target of the operation); (b) defendantARMSTRONG explained that ‘Operation Pullup’ was a “clandestine” operation in which she and other agitators would ‘show up somewhere that isa key location, [where the targets] don’t expect us … , and we disrupt businessas usual. That’s what we’re about to go do right now.’; and (c) defendant Lemon said he would see her there,” the indictment continues.
“Before heading to the Church to join his co-conspirators, defendant LEMON advised his livestream audience that, ‘We’re going to head to the operation. Again, we’re not going to give any, any of the information away’ (ie. operational details that would disclose where he and his coconspirators were heading).”
Lemon told his podcast audience on Saturday, “I think people think like, I’m really scared. I am not, and you don’t even know the experience that I had over the last couple days. And I will talk about them at some point, and I’ll see, maybe it’s sooner than later, but we’ll see. But it wasn’t at all what I expected in many ways.”
He then suggested that he found the whole experience of being arrested and charged with a felony to be “positive,” noting that it “really opened my eyes to a lot.” With a maniacal laugh, Lemon further taunted conservatives, saying, “If you think that I was outspoken before this, [laughter] just wait.
“I know that there are people who think like, oh, you know, do this, and you know that I’m gonna be locked up or whatever. I ain’t worried about that,” he continued. “You heard the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I ain’t even worried about that. Like, not don’t even think about it.”
WATCH:
Lemon: “Republicans better wake up. A dictator doesn’t need Congress.” Thank you very much, Don Stanley. Right on to you, right on, right on to you. I think people think that— I see that there are some trolls in the comments. I think people think like, I’m really scared. I am not, and you don’t even know the experience that I had over the last couple days. And I will talk about them at some point, and I’ll see, maybe it’s sooner than later, but we’ll see. But it wasn’t at all what I expected in many ways.
And the for— as a journalist, it was quite a learning experience, taking many, many, many notes. And so, when you’re in certain positions, you have to think about, I think, as a journalist, I always think about, what’s a positive experience in this? What do I do? And I so, I so, I sort of take notes, mental notes. If you know, if I have a device or whatever, I’ll say something into it, but I have so many thoughts, and what this did was really opened my eyes to a lot. So, if you think that I was outspoken before this, [laughter] just wait.
Just wait. So, I know that there are people who think like, oh, you know, do this, and you know that I’m gonna be locked up or whatever. I ain’t worried about that. You heard the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I ain’t even worried about that. Like, not don’t even think about it. So whatever you know, what ever happens, I am, I always think that something good is always going to happen, and something usually good always happens if you have that mindset. Thank you very much.
