Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to back down Friday after a federal magistrate judge declined to sign off on criminal charges against former CNN anchor Don Lemon, whom she accused of “terrorizing” parishioners during an anti-ICE protest inside a Minneapolis church.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Hannity,” Bondi sharply criticized Lemon and others involved in the incident, which she framed as an attack on a religious institution. “They burst in through all doors, including Don Lemon, and started harassing and antagonizing and terrorizing these parishioners,” Bondi said Friday. “We are coming after you if you participated in that.”
Bondi continued to escalate her rhetoric, accusing protesters of being “staged” inside the church and claiming one parishioner “ran out the back door scared to death and broke her arm.” The attorney general then singled out Lemon while dismissing his claim that he was present only to document the scene as a journalist.
