Did a 'New' Arrest Just Puncture Lemon's 'Journalism' Defense?https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/02/06/did-a-new-arrest-just-puncture-lemons-journalism-defense-n3811629Just when did Don Lemon get involved in the plan to invade a church and terrorize its parishioners during worship services? Lemon insists he didn't plan it at all, but only came along to report on the event. Prosecutors point to portions of his own video stream as evidence that he acted in concert with the radicals who violated the FACE and Ku Klux Klan Acts at Cities Church in Minnesota.
A relatively new development might tilt the playing field toward conviction:
“Developing — a new federal arrest is drawing attention to what prosecutors say was Don Lemon's role in planning and recording the disturbing protest of demonstrators storming that Minnesota church service.
A Temple University student has now surrendered on federal charges admitting he helped Don Lemon with logistics and local contacts ahead of that anti-ICE protest — Court records and social media posts show Richardson describing himself as assisting Don Lemon in the days leading up to the protest — Prosecutors say this new arrest undercuts that defense, suggesting planning and not just passive coverage.”
The article points out that "admitted" may be somewhat of an over-statement, but it was at least circumstantial evidence, and even that kind of ecidence can pile up to the point of being compelling.
