Don Lemon thought he was untouchable. The disgraced former CNN host walked into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota on January 18th, handed donuts and coffee to anti-ICE protesters, helped them disrupt a Sunday morning worship service filled with families, and apparently believed he'd face zero consequences.
The Trump Department of Justice just shattered that delusion into a million pieces.
Attorney General Pam Bondi unsealed a superseding indictment this week charging thirty additional individuals in connection with the Cities Church takeover. Twenty-five were arrested in a single coordinated morning sweep. Five more are being actively hunted by federal authorities. And Don Lemon? He's now facing federal charges plus a personal civil lawsuit from churchgoer Ann Doucette, who claims the attack left her with severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety, and trauma.
Bondi Delivers a Message to Activist America
Standing at the DOJ podium, AG Bondi delivered words that should send chills down the spine of every left-wing activist organization and liberal newsroom in America:
"You cannot attack a house of worship. If you do, you cannot hide. We will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you. This Department of Justice stands for Christians and all Americans of faith."
Let that sink in, Patriots. After four years of the Biden regime weaponizing the DOJ against parents at school board meetings and pro-life grandmothers, we finally have a Department of Justice that protects people of faith instead of persecuting them.
The superseding indictment, partially sealed, adds new co-defendants to the original nine charged. Sources indicate the new charges include federal conspiracy and civil rights violations. The case on the federal docket shifted from US v. Levy Armstrong, signaling an expanding scope that could ensnare even more participants.
The Irony Is Absolutely Delicious
Here's what makes this story so satisfying for anyone who endured years of Don Lemon's sanctimonious lectures on CNN: This is the same man who built his entire career calling Trump supporters extremists, insurrectionists, and dangers to civil society. He clutched his pearls over January 6th for years.
Yet when the moment came, it was Lemon himself who entered a house of worship and helped terrorize innocent Americans praying on a Sunday morning. Families. Children. People simply trying to worship in peace.
Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles, where he had linked up with local Black Lives Matter demonstrators, reportedly providing logistics and contacts for the church invasion. He pleaded not guilty and issued a defiant statement claiming he "will not be intimidated."
Good luck with that, Don. The evidence is building. He provided sustenance to protesters before they stormed the church — donuts and coffee handed directly to those who would terrorize worshippers minutes later. And his own past broadcast words are being used against him. Remember when he said protests should "disrupt and make people uncomfortable" and that "everyone must sacrifice something"?
The DOJ remembers. And they're making him the sacrifice.
The Biden Era of Lawlessness Is Over
Every sanctuary city mayor and celebrity activist who thought they were untouchable under the Biden administration should be checking their phones right now, wondering if they're next. The rules have changed. Elections have consequences.
Twenty-five arrests. A superseding indictment. A personal lawsuit. Attorney General Pam Bondi on the warpath.
This is what accountability looks like when the Department of Justice actually has a backbone. This is what happens when law enforcement is allowed to enforce the law equally, regardless of whether the perpetrator has a blue checkmark and a CNN severance package.
Don Lemon spent years protected by the establishment media machine, free to smear half of America while facing zero consequences for anything. Those days are over.
He's finding out the hard way that in Trump's America, nobody is above the law — especially not those who attack houses of worship.
