Greene cheers Lemon arrest over church protest: ‘That’s not journalism, that’s activism’

Don Lemon faces charges under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for covering an anti-ICE protest that disrupted worship, raising concerns about press freedom.

  • In Los Angeles, authorities arrested Don Lemon, journalist, Friday, over charges tied to his coverage of the Jan. 18 anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
  • Authorities cite the FACE Act, with critics claiming Lemon violated it during his presence at the protest on January 18.
  • During the broadcast, an audience member yelled `Yes!` when Maher raised the arrest after discussing ICE and CBP killing two U.S. citizens earlier this month.
  • Commentators argued the case raises questions about press freedom, with media personalities saying the arrest was meant to scare other journalists, while Joe Scarborough said protesters, not reporters, should be prosecuted.
  • Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the Biden administration jailed pro-lifers up to 11 years under the FACE Act, defending Lemon's arrest amid her spat with Bill Maher.
