Don Lemon arrested after conservative backlash to Minnesota church protest
""Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement. "This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand.""
"Lemon was targeted by conservative influencers and politicians after interviewing protesters, congregants and a pastor during the protest earlier this month."
Don Lemon was targeted by conservative influencers and politicians after interviewing protesters, congregants and a pastor during a protest earlier this month. The Trump Justice Department diverted time, attention and resources to pursuing an arrest linked to the journalist instead of investigating federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters. The action is described as an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and a transparent attempt to distract attention from multiple crises facing the administration. The matter is a breaking story with updates expected. House Democrats were instructed by leadership not to travel to Minnesota.
