Don Lemon has been taken into custody. What now? Today’s show breaks it down.

According to the New York Post:

Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles early Friday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney and US Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents … in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters.

He was one of four people arrested by federal agents early Friday “in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Bondi later confirmed in a statement.

It’s unclear exactly what he is being charged with, but it’s likely something to do with the FACE Act or the KKK Act.

“It will be hard to make this stick because the defense will be the First Amendment, and the First Amendment does not only apply to freedom of speech but also to freedom of the press. So, he has two layers of defense,” Crowder said. “Should it apply here? No, absolutely not.”

His attorney maintained that the frequently fired correspondent was in Minneapolis as a journalist, making it “constitutionally protected work.”

“The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable,” said Lowell, who also represented disgraced former first son Hunter Biden.

“It’s limited to speech, which means it does not protect the method of gathering the information or delivering the information as a journalist. What you say is not a problem. If you say something offensive, that is protected. It’s not the words, it’s the weapons.”

The question at hand is what to do when journalists are no longer acting as journalists but have turned into activists, and, in some cases, have engaged in crimes.

“That is really what this discussion is about and what this decision is going to be,” Crowder added.
