Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’
Former CNN host Don Lemon defended left-wing rioters who disrupted an evangelical church service Sunday believing a pastor was connected to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a livestream broadcast.
Riots in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area are occurring as opposition to ICE’s enforcement operations was intensified after an ICE agent ambushed by three illegal immigrants wounded one of them Wednesday. The incident follows another ICE agent fatally shooting Renee Nicole Good during a Jan. 17 “targeted” immigration enforcement operation. Lemon broadcast footage of the protest, including his arrival at Cities Church in Minneapolis, about 40 minutes into a six-and-a-half-hour livestream.
“Everybody has to be willing to sacrifice something to save democracy,” Lemon posted Sunday on TikTok in a caption for a video showing his arrival in Minneapolis.
During the livestream, Lemon described the protest — which disrupted the church service — as protesters chanting “Justice for Renee Good.”
Video recorded on a cell phone by the ICE agent who fired the fatal shots showed Good appearing to ignore commands from other ICE agents to exit her vehicle before she backed up her car and looked at the agent. She then allegedly accelerated towards the agent, after her girlfriend shouted, “Drive, baby, drive!” (Read more from “Don Lemon Defends Protesters Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Service Believing Pastor Was ‘ICE-Affiliated’” HERE)
