BREAKING: Don Lemon Arrested On Federal Chargeshttps://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/01/30/breaking-don-lemon-arrested-n3811382The long and winding road of Don Lemon's arrest came to an end in Los Angeles overnight. It started at Cities Church in the Twin Cities and wended through three different court venues. The end of the road came at the Grammy Awards, which Lemon apparently had been covering for his YouTube channel.
What a long, strange trip it's been, indeed:
The former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late Thursday night on charges that he violated federal law during a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn., his lawyer said, in a case rejected last week by a magistrate judge.
Mr. Lemon has said he was simply reporting as a journalist when he entered the Cities Church on Jan. 18 to observe a demonstration against the immigration crackdown in the area.
While those willing to acknowledge it "know" that in some degree Lemon was an instigator or planner, there is a large gap between "knowing" and proving something in court beyond a reasonable doubt. OTOH, if Lemon tries to "prove" he was just a journalist, he may expose the degree to which "reporters work hand-in-glove with organizers of things they report. I'm not sure Lemon and Lowell are smart enough to avoid that risk.
