Don Lemon needs to go for a James Byrd Jr. ride.

A federal magistrate judge rejected the Justice Department’s initial
attempt to bring charges against journalist Don Lemon for appearing
alongside protesters who breached a Minnesota church over the weekend, a
source told CNN. 

“The Attorney General is enraged at the magistrate judge’s decision,” a
person familiar with the matter said. Attorney General Pam Bondi has
been on the ground in Minnesota for two days meeting with federal
prosecutors from the state. 

Lemon, who is a former CNN host who now makes content independently, was
with dozens of anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters as
they rushed into Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday
morning, interrupting a church service and leading to tense
confrontations, CNN has reported. 

Lemon has said that he was present at the demonstration as a journalist
and not as a protester. In a video of the episode that he posted on
YouTube, Lemon says “I’m just here photographing, I’m not part of the
group… I’m a journalist.” 

Lemon is a lying sack of shit.
