URGENT UPDATE: Tensions flare as former CNN host Don Lemon ignites outrage among supporters of the MAGA movement following his remarks on a protest against ICE in St. Paul, Minnesota.
During a podcast interview on October 23, 2023, Lemon accused the MAGA supporters of reinforcing “white supremacy” after their response to a Sunday morning protest at Cities Church. This church is reportedly led by a pastor who also works with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
“It’s not the type of Christianity that I practice, but that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a white supremacy,” Lemon stated, further escalating the already charged atmosphere surrounding the protest. His comments sparked a fierce backlash on social media.
Protesters, including Lemon, shouted “ICE out!” as they entered the church, challenging the pastor’s dual role. MAGA supporters quickly took to platforms like X to voice their anger at Lemon’s comments.
“OMG!! This idiot egged them on! He was one of the catalysts!” tweeted MAGA author Juanita Broaddrick.
Others joined in, with Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, calling Lemon’s behavior a “clown car” moment, while political commentator Greg Foreman remarked, “This n—- activated every infinity stone of wokeness in his possession after learning the Trump DOJ is investigating him. Hilarious.”
The protest and Lemon’s reaction have now become trending topics, drawing attention not only for their immediate implications but also for the broader discussions on race, nationality, and the role of faith in American society.
This situation reflects a growing divide in public opinion, especially as the 2024 presidential campaign approaches. As more voices weigh in on this heated exchange, the impact on public sentiment surrounding immigration and race relations in America could be significant.
What happens next? Watch for further developments as both sides of the argument prepare for escalating discussions. The MAGA movement’s reaction and Lemon’s potential responses could shape the narrative leading into the upcoming election cycle.
