Former CNN hack Don Lemon has been ‘betrayed’ by one of his fellow rioters after participating in the storming of a church in St. Paul last month.
A 21-year-old Temple University student named Jerome DeAngelo Richardson surrendered on federal charges on Sunday, along with Ian Davis Austin.
Richardson is accused of conspiring to interfere with religious worship.

When the young man turned himself in, he threw Lemon completely under the bus.
Richardson admitted to authorities that he helped Lemon with logistics and contacts in the days leading up to the anti-ICE protest. Lemon has consistently claimed he was “just reporting.”
The new arrest of Richardson blows up Lemon’s defense, showing active planning rather than mere reporting.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, radical anti-ICE agitators stormed Cities Church in St. Paul on January 18, interrupting Christians in the middle of worship.
Instead of condemning the mob’s conduct or defending the constitutional right to religious assembly, Lemon inserted himself into the chaos—live-streaming the scene and aggressively confronting congregants who were already shaken by the intrusion.
“This is the beginning of what’s going to happen here,” Lemon said as anti-ICE protestors shouted down the pastor and harassed parishioners.
Video later revealed that Lemeon admitted to having prior knowledge of protesters’ plans.
Lemon was arrested for helping coordinate the attack on the church back on January 30.
He was released without bail later that day.
