Adam Schiff Walks Right Into Bill Maher’s Trap With Trump Quote Fakeout

Mediaite.com:

Bill Maher slapped Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) with a gotcha moment after he got him to critique a statement from former President Barack Obama, while the lawmaker thought it was from President Donald Trump. 

 

“This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That too vague for you?” Maher asked Schiff on Friday’s Real Time. 

 

“Totally vague,” Schiff said. “Okay, because that’s from Obama about Libya,” Maher said. The 2011 statement from the administration reads: “The President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force in Libya because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.”

This is so good because you can see Schiff's face light up at the idea of going off on presidetial authority to use the military when he thinks Trump made the quote, before changing the subject once he realizes it was actually Obama. But then Schiff wouldn't be lying, corrupt weasel of a politician if it wasn't so easy to make him look like a fool.

Don Lemon Sued for ‘Severe Emotional Distress’ Over Minneapolis Church Protest

YahooNews.com:

Don Lemon was sued this week with a group of protestors for “severe emotional distress” following the January “ICE Out” protest inside a Minneapolis church. 

 

Churchgoer Ann Doucette claimed in a lawsuit filed Monday that the protest unlawfully interfered with her ability to freely exercise her religion and resulted in “severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety and trauma.” 

 

Lemon documented an anti-ICE protest that took place at a Jan. 18 church service led by the church’s pastor David Easterwood, an alleged ICE field officer, following the fatal shooting of Renee Good.

Took this parishioner long enough because there's no justification for protesting inside a church and Lemon knew the deal when he decided to show up there and make himself an active participant. In other words, not the actions of a so-called "journalist" (as he loves to claim, but really for legal purposes), but that of an activist. As since he got canned from CNN not too long back, Lemon knew that the only way to keep himself relevant was to join the anti-Trump Resistance. There's also the fact that as a former journalist, Lemon knew that there was no way those protestors would've done this to say a mosque, or any non-Christian house of worship for the matter--there would've been hell to pay for that. That said, every person who was in that church, when Lemon and his crew barged in to scare and harass them, should sue them. And not just for emotional distress, but on civil terms too as the best way to wreck Lemon's life is to make an example of him and go after his pockets.

Don Lemon Arrested by Federal Agents in Connection to Minnesota Church Protest

Mediaite.com:

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested by federal agents in connection to his presence at a Minnesota church protest, according to his lawyer. 

 

Lemon’s lawyer said the former CNN host was detained in Los Angeles on Thursday night. 

 

“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Abbe Lowell announced. “Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done.”

It’s funny to watch the tribal reactions and selective “outrage” surrounding Don Lemon’s arrest, with people reflexively defending their political side. Partisanship aside, there’s a clear argument for why the arrest was justified. Lemon didn’t enter that church as a neutral journalist, he went as an activist, a prominent figure aligned with the anti-Trump movement that dominates much of the mainstream media, BlueSky, and blue-state politics. Indeed, since leaving CNN Lemon (like former a-hole colleague Jim Acosta) has leaned heavily into the Never Trump brand, frequently criticizing Trump, the GOP, and conservatives at every turn. And while he has every right to express those views, that’s different from participating in direct action and/or mob activity. According to the charges, Lemon was with agitators who were preparing to confront a church based on a rumor about one of its pastors, conduct that falls under the FACE Act, a federal felony. Authorities allege the group occupied the church, harassed parishioners, blocked exits, and refused to leave when asked, interfering with people’s right to worship. The indictment also claims Lemon obstructed the front entrance while questioning attendees about immigration policy and that his team had audio from inside beforehand, suggesting coordination. Taken together, the situation presents serious legal trouble for him.

By Lying and Taking Part in Minnesota Anti-ICE Church Invasion, Don Lemon Proves That He's an Activist and Not a Joumalist

NYPost.com:

The Department of Justice will “pursue charges” against the anti-ICE agitators who invaded a Sunday church service in St. Paul, including disgraced former CNN reporter Don Lemon, who feebly attempted to cloak his participation in the chaos as an “act of journalism.” 

 

Assistant attorney general for civil rights Harmeet Dhillon told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that the department “will pursue charges” related to the incident in which families and children were terrorized by a screaming mob of protesters at Cities Church. 

 

Lemon “went into the facility, and then he began, quote, unquote ‘committing journalism,’ as if that’s a sort of shield from being a part, an embedded part, of a criminal conspiracy. It isn’t,” Dhillon clarified during an appearance on “The Benny Show” Monday.

A lot of conservatives online are angry with Don Lemon for continuing to behave like a douchebag and allegedly taking part in what could be an arrestable offense over there in Minnesota. But what disgusts me most about Lemon after yesterday’s actions, however, is his continued insistence on lying about who he is, claiming he’s “just a journalist doing his job,” rather than acknowledging what he’s clearly become since his unceremonious departure from CNN: an openly anti-Trump, full-blown Resistance activist. After all, Lemon’s former colleague, fired anchor Jim Acosta, has no problem wearing his political bias on his sleeve nowadays (whether on his self-righteous podcast or on any liberal platform willing to host him) so why can’t Lemon do the same? The answer seems obvious: Lemon knows that the moment he fully embraces full-blown Resistance, he forfeits any remaining credibility he has as a legitimate journalist. And in the end, there’s nothing more pretentious than watching someone like Lemon desperately try to stay relevant by pretending to be something he’s not, while denying what conservatives said about him the whole entire time he was at CNN: he's a narcissistic, lying POS.

Don Lemon Says Megyn Kelly Looks 'Trans'

Yahoo.com:

Don Lemon has landed in hot water once again after making harsh comments about Megyn Kelly’s looks during his new podcast. The former CNN anchor, who often speaks out in support of the LGBTQ community, shocked many by saying Kelly “looks trans” and “chopped.”

The clip quickly went viral, and even his longtime fans are struggling to defend him, calling the remarks cruel, hypocritical, and beneath someone who claims to stand for inclusivity. The backlash began after Lemon made offensive comments while discussing “MAGA women” on “Clip Farmers.”

When one of his co-hosts asked if Kelly was “chopped,” a slang for ugly, Lemon replied, “I think she looks trans.” The 59-year-old went on to say that the journalist “looks clockable,” a term often used to suggest someone could be identified as transgender.

To be fair, going back to his famous brouhaha with rapper Talib Kweli some years back Don Lemon has always been a prick. After all, Lemon is a guy who always whines and complains about the evil's of white men--yet he's "married" to one. Lemon is also the same guy who used to 'scream at' female colleagues while he was at CNN. Back in 2023, while still at CNN, he was accused of ageism for saying Nikki Haley ss 'past her prime'. Lemon also didn't bother to check in on Chris Cuomo after his 'friend' and colleague was canned by CNN during COVID. And Lemon was recently called out by Piers Morgan for being a hypocrite and a 'complete dick' due to Lemon's smug attitude, elitism and entitlement during their interview on Morgan's show. Lemon is also the same guy who refuses to call himself a liberal even though 99% of the time he takes the side of the Left on political and socioeconomic issues. And I'm saying all this as someone who doesn't even like Megyn Kelly that much.
