OF COURSE the prick who wanted the (innocent) Central Park 5 executed wants Don Lemon to have "a 40 yr prison sentence"

Trump amplified a call for a former CNN host to be sentenced to 40 years in prison for attending a protest at a church in Minneapolis on Sunday.

Don Lemon, who hosted CNN's "Don Lemon Tonight" from 2014 to 2022, attended a protest on Sunday morning organized by anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement activists at Cities Church in St. Paul, whose pastor, David Easterwood, appears to also lead the agency's local field office.

In the wake of the protest, fans of Trump's MAGA movement called for Lemon and the protesters to be arrested.

Trump amplified those calls in a Truth Social post on Monday.

"A small group of elderly ladies were protesting at an abortion clinic and were given 40 years in prison for violating the FACE Act," the post Trump shared read in part. "I would like to see the same kind of sentence for Don Lemon and the people that (sic) broke into the church during the service."

for violating the FACE Act."

The facts: (March, 2025) 'Trump pardons anti-abortion protesters convicted of blocking clinics, harassing patients'

"The protesters had been charged under the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act, which was signed into law in 1994."

"Just three days after taking office, President Donald Trump pardoned 23 anti-abortion activists who had been convicted on charges of blocking abortion clinic entrances in Washington D.C., Tennessee, Michigan, and New York City over the past five years." (The longest sentence was 57 months for one individual convicted under the FACE Act.)

"The activists had been charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. 'They should not have been prosecuted,' Trump said during the pardon signing. 'This is a great honor to sign this.'

“' 'President Trump’s pardons are a get-out-of-jail-free card inviting anti-abortion extremists to step up their attacks on reproductive health clinics with impunity,' Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement. 'Congress enacted the FACE Act over 30 years ago with strong bi-partisan support because patients, clinic staff, and doctors needed protection from a reign of terror that included murders, arson, vandalism and clinic blockades.' "

Trump's post happened as his immigration policies face mounting criticism from Democrats. ICE officer Jonathan Ross recently shot and killed a Minneapolis mother named Renee Good, 37, who was trying to leave the scene of an immigration raid in her neighborhood.
