Umm, no consequences whatsoever? On Thursday, January 22. 2026 The Daily Wire ran and Article headlined, “Judge Rejects Charges Against Don Lemon, And Bondi Is ‘Enraged’.”
A federal judge refused to sign a complaint against former CNN host Don Lemon for his alleged role in storming a Minnesota church service on Sunday with a mob of anti-ICE agitators.
Attorney General Pam Bondi was “enraged” at the magistrate judge’s refusal to sign the charges, a source familiar with the proceedings told The Daily Wire.
Federal authorities made three arrests of protestors who allegedly took part in targeting the church over a pastor accused of serving as an ICE chief in Minnesota.
Lemon was seen on video at the protest under the guise of covering it as an independent journalist.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, however, said Monday that freedom of the press does not extend to “being part of the group that storms inside of a church” in reference to Lemon.
“Freedom of the press extends to a lot of different areas,” Blanche told Fox News’s Will Cain. “It does not extend to somebody just trespassing and being embedded with a group of rioters and being part of the group that storms inside of a church… the fact that Mr. Lemon thought that was a good idea, and then raced away from it saying it was ‘freedom of the press’ — well, we’ll see.”
“Here’s another case of a radical judge that refuses to dole out punishment to crazy leftists.” said Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, based centrally in Harrison, Arkansas. “This is why we see just everyday radicals in the streets causing havoc and putting innocent lives in danger. They see, I wouldn’t call Don Lemon an influencer, but I guess some look up to him, but here he is inciting a mob of people, and even taking part in storming a church of all places! I’m sure this church doesn’t align to my and many others beliefs, but still, a church. Don Lemon, a black homosexual, storming a church, and no charges? These crazy liberals have no moral compass whatsoever and they are now not only attacking ICE agents, but innocent citizens as well. ICE, nor police can’t protect all of us, so I would advise you to never leave your home unarmed. Yes, it’s that bad folks.”
