HERETIC: Lemon Defends Joining Anti-ICE Mob to Storm Church of ‘White Supremacy’

On Monday, disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon joined Jennifer Welch on the I’ve Had It Podcast News to double down on his Sunday stunt with an anti-Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) mob to storm a Twin Cities-area church, arguing he was merely “a journalist” observing a group doing what was akin to “sitting in at lunch counters” during the Civil Rights movement” or the story in the Gospels of Jesus flipping over the tables of the money changers

Why? Lemon argued it was necessary to target an un-Christian, pro-“white supremacy” church refusing to embrace the “uncomfortable.”

For her part, Welch celebrated the harassment, smearing the church as a “white nationalist” confab that’s “not about helping people” and “got their panties in a wad” over people reminding them they’re “root[ed] in the KKK.” And, showing her ignorance, she called Deputy Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon “some lady” who’s “breathtakingly stupid” and “dumber than a box of hot rocks.”

It began with Lemon contradicting himself from statements made the day prior. Here, he insisted he had prior knowledge the mob would disrupt a church service:

Parroting the mob, Lemon insisted the church was worth disrupting because they believe a church shouldn’t be allowed to refer to themselves as Christians and have someone in leadership who works for ICE.

Welch replied they were justified given all the “grifting” and “overt patriotism” in so much of Christianity. She also praised Lemon for questioning whether the pastor truly believes in Jesus since “this…type of Christianity” is about “recruiting, but not helping, not comforting, not providing” for the downtrodden:

Then came the crux of Lemon’s heretic smear, wrapping himself in his book about his upbringing in Louisiana as proof he – unlike those he disrupted – know Christianity, calling it just like Jesus angrily calling out the money changers (which our friend Chuck Ross fact-checked) because the congregation, by having someone around who works for ICE, is “doing the exact opposite of what Christianity is supposed to be about.”

Instead, Lemon argues, the church should have welcomed and acquiesced to the hecklers:

Following a comical slew of internet connectivity issues, Welch scoffed at this church as “one of those white evangelical churches that turn out to vote for Donald Trump, 80+% of that sect of Christianity” and are thus “white nationalists” and “the KKK” in 2026 with “panties in a wad.”

Notice in the second X post how she also made it about Lemon by insisting the church was threatened by the existence of “an independent, gay, black, happy, successful man”:

Lemon broadened out to ICE and their “detaining” of “people on the streets because of accents and the color of their skin” and, because of that the church is infected with “a certain degree of racism there and…entitlement” that, in sum, is “a supremacy, a white supremacy, and they think that this country was built for them, that it is a Christian country[.]”

The two next went full Joe Biden by hurling a racist attack on Nicki Minaj (plus the late Charlie Kirk)

Welch illustrated actual racism and homophobia by denouncing certain Trump officials:

Then came the series of smears against Dhillon:

Lemon found a way to sink even lower in telling those upset and “traumatized” by the mob to get over it because, well, at least they were able to leave and still be alive:

They closed out with Lemon proclaiming he will be vindicated by the masses since, in his mind, America’s tired of being a “Gestapo-like world”:
