This move by the protestors has resulted in heavy criticism on social media, and Lemon got caught in the crossfire.
Don Lemon has seemingly responded to some of the backlash he has received and defended his actions. He insisted that he has ‘no affiliations’ with the protestors and called his behavior an act of journalism
He has said: “The MAGA administration and the fake news MAGAs are losing their mind over something that’s not even true.”
Attorney General Pamela Bondi today took to X to say the Justice Department is investigating the incident to see if there were any potential FACE Act violations, however.
In a post Bondi added: “I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law.
