Even Stelter Admits It: Don Lemon ‘Clearly Knew’ Something Was Going Down at Cities Church Disruption

CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter pointed out on Friday that former CNN host Don Lemon knew the protesters at the church in St. Paul, Minnesota, had something planned before they disrupted a religious service.

Federal agents arrested Lemon on Thursday night in Los Angeles, California, in connection with the disruption of Cities Church on Jan. 18, which had been organized by anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protesters to demonstrate against one of the pastors for being an ICE official.

While Stelter defended Lemon’s coverage of the incident, he said that Lemon clearly knew that the protesters had planned to disrupt the service ahead of time.

“Don Lemon has said all along that he was there not as an activist but as a journalist,” Stelter said.
