Anti-ICE activists reached a new low this weekend.
Because there has been absolutely no crackdown by local police, these agitators decided they can get away with storming churches and disrupting Sunday worship. It happened yesterday, and the city’s Democratic leaders, nearly 24 hours later, have said nothing.
Mayor Jacob Frey, who was so quick to tell ICE to “get the fuck out” of Minneapolis, has said nothing about this, which clearly means he is fine with it. So is Governor Tim Walz. They are fine seeing Christians, including children, harassed in the pews at Sunday mass by these cretins who call themselves “activists.”
Frey and Walz have nothing to say to these so-called activists who mean to harass law-abiding Minnesotans, especially those in worship, because all these people worship is the god of wokeness and the god of leftism. That is their God, so they think nothing of going into a church and disrupting people’s private time with Jesus. That is fine by them.
The Incident
The incident happened at the Cities Church in St. Paul. Protesters said they took aim at that church because one of the pastors is allegedly involved in ICE operations. It is unclear if that is true or not.
They could have gone to that church and requested a meeting with that pastor to talk about their differences, but they didn’t. Instead, they decided to interrupt Sunday worship to deliver their message of quote “Justice for Renee Good” and chants of “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot,” which is based on a complete lie about the 2014 police-involved shooting of Michael Brown.
In videos, you can hear the pastor who was leading the service say “shame on you” and point for the protesters to exit. Parishioners also engaged the protesters, begging them to leave. But they didn’t – they stayed for another 45 minutes. According to Alpha News, the agitators didn’t leave until police showed up.
On the live feed, one protester could be heard saying, “This isn’t God’s house, this is the house of the devil.” Meanwhile, children in the pews were being comforted by their parents. A woman sitting next to a young boy could be seen putting her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. She looked bewildered. She was probably unsure whether these protesters were just there to yell or to do something more sinister. Sadly, in this day and age, you can’t be sure.
The protest was organized by Nekima Levy Armstrong, a long-time Black Lives Matter activist, lawyer, and former law professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis. She also says she is a reverend. Alpha News reported that, after the protest, Armstrong said, “I feel that we did what needed to be done” and “I know that this church will never be the same after today.” She demanded that parishioners now decide which side they are on.
Don Lemon’s Role
These protesters were aided and abetted by Don Lemon, who seemed to revel in it as he lectured the parishioners about how they really had an obligation to sit there and take it because this was American as apple pie. That was Don Lemon’s basic message to these people who were just trying to go to church. He is a disgusting fool.
Now, there is a question about whether he is also a criminal, but that is kind of irrelevant to me. If he broke the law, I am fine seeing him prosecuted. I think what is more important, however, is how disgusting he is. He was wearing a cap that said “Lemon Head.” How self-promotional and satanic. That is how that feels. Can you imagine walking into somebody else’s worship, disrupting it, and then you, as a so-called journalist, start to lecture them about how they need to take it?
In his livestream of the incident, Lemon offered running commentary that the parishioners were not comfortable, but, in true Don Lemon fashion, he justified the protesters’ actions. Guess what, Don? You are too stupid to understand the law, but this happens to be illegal. You know how it is illegal to harass people entering an abortion clinic? You are not allowed to do that. Well, that same law also applies to places of worship. There are some limits to your First Amendment rights, and this is one of them.
The U.S. Supreme Court has made clear over and over and over and over and over that there are restrictions on speech that govern time, place, and manner. That is what the so-called “FACE Act” is. It is a restriction on time, place, and manner for protests around things like abortion clinics and churches. You certainly do not have the right to go into a place of worship and harass worshipers – something you, Don Lemon, and all of your disgusting BLM terrorists are about to learn the hard way.
During the protest, he also talked to the pastor who was leading the service. He had the gall to ask him, “Don’t you think Jesus would understand?” Their exchange was so infuriating. Some people are too stupid to be allowed to do the news, and that is saying something. He is too dumb; he is too ideological; and he is too sympathetic to the terrorists there.
Crossing a ‘Red Line’
While we have yet to hear anything from the leaders of Minnesota, members of the Trump administration weighed in. On X, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the Department of Justice is investigating and “any violation of federal law will be prosecuted.”
Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division writing made it clear on X that “a house of worship is not a public forum for your protest” but rather “a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also weighed in, writing: “President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship.”
I have every reason to believe them. I think they are as angry as I am, and I look forward to seeing what they do with those feelings because I want everyone in jail. I want all of them arrested. This is the line beyond which we cannot allow them to cross. I don’t care if it takes the National Guard, if it takes all of Pam Bondi’s DOJ, if it takes President Trump personally making a visit to this church. I don’t care what has to be done.
This is the red line, and they have crossed it.
