Is This How a Free Press Dies in America, With Don Lemon in Handcuffs?
This country just hit another crisis with the arrest of independent journalist Don Lemon by Pam Bondi’s federal agents, yesterday in Los Angeles. This was for reporting on a protest at a Minnesota church, and make no mistake this isn’t just a legal spat, it’s an intimidation aimed at the free press itself. Federal officials are pursuing charges even after a magistrate judge initially refused to approve a complaint against him. His lawyer says Lemon was there doing what journalists have done forever reporting the truth and that’s exactly what the First Amendment protects.
The message being sent is clear if you speak truth to power you could end up in handcuffs and that’s how authoritarianism shows his face. This cannot stand and we need to rise up call our elected officials support independent journalism and demand that the First Amendment means something real in this country or it means nothing at all.
