Left-wing media pundit Don Lemon claimed he was just acting "as a journalist" when he videotaped a mob of anti-ICE agitators storming a church in Minnesota on Sunday. At the same time, he appeared to coordinate with the group and was seen on video kissing the head organizer of the “operation.” The incident is now under DOJ investigation.
Lemon was seen on video giving "Operation Pull Up" organizer leader Nekima Armstrong a kiss on the cheek prior to the agitators storming the church in St. Paul.

Lemon, on video, also said that he knew that the agitators were “gearing up for resistance and protest” at the church in the city.

Additionally, Lemon was seen giving out donuts and coffee to the left-wing agitators who were present at the church when the incident took place. As he was passing out the donuts, one of the left-wing agitators thanked the left-wing media pundit for being on the "front lines" of the incident.

Before the "Operation Pull Up" took place, Lemon was also seen with the left-wing agitators, where he said, "Thank you for your service."

Armstrong, who has been heavily involved in left-wing activism and claims to be a former NAACP chapter president in Minnesota, said that the storming of the church was called "Operation Pull Up" and was a "clandestine operation" where the agitators "show up somewhere that is a key location."
The storming of the church is now under investigation by the DOJ for potential violations of the FACE Act. The law prohibits the obstruction, injury, or intimidation of people who are exercising their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of worship.
Some online, citing Lemon's activities with the left-wing agitators, have said that he should also be prosecuted under the law for taking part in the storming of the church service. The agitators cited that the pastor of the church also works for ICE as their reason to storm the place of worship.
