President Donald 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."

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.

1. No one blocked access to a clinic and no one was sent

To prison for 40 years. The old sick bastard just talks shit and the press repeats it like it was gospel.

2. No one in America received a 40 year sentence for violating the FACE act. Found one for 57 months and 40 year

sentences in El Salvador for having an abortion. Besides TSF pardoned all those sentenced under FACE January 23, 2025.

3. Having seen Don's videos

He was pretty even handed and on the sidelines. He gave people in the church the chance to speak as well, so it didn’t seem like they felt threatened.

It was actually much better than the cable news interviews you get.

4. Yep, Lemon is a self-selected idiot

SMH. It would have been impossible for Trump to write a better earned media set piece for Republicans than what played out with Lemon and the church.

As I've said, we Democrats need to stop letting Trump choose "our voices" and the hills for "our battles." He'll always pick "our side's" most obnoxious and intellectually mediocre showboats; he'll always pick settings where we have the low ground. Every Dem leader should be rolling their eyes and distancing themselves from this latest travesty. We have an election to win.
