URGENT UPDATE: Tensions erupt as former CNN host Don Lemon ignites backlash from President Donald Trump‘s supporters following his inflammatory comments about the MAGA movement’s response to a protest in St. Paul, Minnesota. During a podcast interview on Monday, Lemon accused MAGA supporters of reinforcing “white supremacy” after they confronted protesters at a church event.
The controversy stems from a protest at Cities Church on Sunday, where demonstrators chanted “ICE out!” against the pastor, who allegedly holds a leadership role at the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. Lemon condemned the MAGA response as “entitled,” asserting that it reflects a belief rooted in the idea of America as a white, Christian nation.
“It’s not the type of Christianity that I practice,” Lemon stated, continuing, “but that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a white supremacy.” His remarks have since sparked outrage online, with MAGA supporters taking to social media to voice their disapproval.
MAGA author Juanita Broaddrick expressed her frustration on X, stating, “OMG!! This idiot egged them on! He was one of the catalysts!” Another prominent figure, Mike Davis, founder of the Article III Project, labeled Lemon’s comments as “Clown car,” reflecting a broader sentiment among Trump’s fans.
Political commentator Greg Foreman also weighed in, sarcastically noting how Lemon reacted to the ongoing investigations by the Trump administration, commenting, “This n—- activated every infinity stone of wokeness in his possession.”
The protest and Lemon’s remarks have drawn significant attention, highlighting the deepening divide in American society over immigration policies and national identity. As this story develops, the implications for both Lemon and the MAGA movement could resonate far beyond social media.
Expect further updates as both sides continue to express their viewpoints. This incident serves as a crucial flashpoint in the ongoing national debate over immigration, identity, and the role of government agencies like ICE.
