Don Lemon ARRESTED Under Klan and FACE Acts, w/ Michael Knowles, Mike Davis, Bill Shipley, and Blum
From Megyn Kelly
Don Lemon has been arrested on federal charges related to a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he allegedly engaged in actions that violated the Ku Klux Klan Act and the FACE Act by obstructing access and interfering with worshippers' rights. The discussion centers around whether Lemon's behavior constituted journalistic activity or illegal obstruction of civil rights during the protest.
Key Takeaways

- The irony of 'protesters' disrupting worship to advocate for rights underscores the complexity of civil disobedience.
