In the wake of the US Civil War, Democrats behaved exactly as they still do whenever they lose: with violence and intimidation. To combat the first incarnation of the KKK, the US passed a series of laws designed to curtail intimidation and violence. These laws became known as the ‘Klan Act’.
Once again, Democrats are reacting to losing with violence and intimidation, and the Klan Act may be making an hilarious comeback.
Protesters led by former CNN anchor Don Lemon entered Cities Church during Sunday morning worship Jan 18 yelling, “Hands up, don’t shoot” and “ICE out.” They targeted the congregation because one of its pastors is reported to work also as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
Just like the ‘good old days’ when Democrats used to storm churches where civil rights pastors preached. Only now, the congregations targeted are mostly white, and the Democrats have swapped white hoods for black masks.
The church invasion came amid escalating tension in Minneapolis and St Paul, where President Donald Trump has sent more than 2,000 federal troops to arrest several thousand alleged illegal immigrants using tactics that are among the most aggressive recorded nationally. An ICE agent shot citizen Renee Good in the face three times just days before, and other citizens are reported to have been severely injured by ICE just for publicly protesting.
Contrast Minneapolis with Memphis, where local officials co-operated with federal agents, and the whole operation passed without incident in just a few days.
A resident who asked not to be named told WPR the psychological effects of the ICE invasion have been widespread, and some of the students at the elementary school where she teaches are afraid to come to class: “It is just the saddest thing to see tiny children who are just starting school have this kind of fear and uncertainty.”
Hat tip: if they’re in the country legally, they have precisely nothing to fear. What this teacher is admitting is that she knows her students and their families are breaking the law and has done nothing about it.
Meanwhile, law-abiding actual American citizens are being traumatised by domestic terrorists.
On the other hand, opponents of the public demonstration inside a church also cited the trauma on children as a problem. CBN News led with a headline that said, “Children Terrified as Anti-ICE Mob Storms Minnesota Church to Target Pastor: ‘Despicable’” […]
The Department of Homeland Security posted a video of the protest on X with this message: “Agitators aren’t just targeting our officers. Now they’re targeting churches, too. They’re going from hotel to hotel, church to church, hunting for federal law enforcement who are risking their lives to protect Americans” […]
“We have asked them to leave, and they have obviously not left,” [Jonathan Parnell, lead pastor at the church] told [Don Lemon] on video. “This is unacceptable. This is shameful. It is shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.”
Just as they used to in the old South, mendacious local Democrat politicians are egging the violent mobs on.
Trump’s Department of Justice said it will investigate the protest for possible violations of federal law. Trump already has sent his DOJ after Minnesota Gov Tim Walz, who was the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2024.
Trump and his allies have accused Gov Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey of “whipping these mobs into a frenzy and then allowing them to run rampant.”
Speaking of Don Lemon: what was he doing at a secretly planned operation perpetrated by vigilantes? In what may be one of the most hilarious comeuppances in modern American history, the painfully woke Lemon is set to be charged under the Klan Act.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon slammed former CNN anchor Don Lemon for interrupting a Minnesota church service Sunday, as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continue to roil the state.
Lemon filmed and interviewed Nekima Levy Armstrong, an activist who was among a group that entered Cities Church in St Paul, Minn, and yelled “ICE out!” Demonstrators accused David Easterwood, a pastor at the church, of being affiliated with ICE.
The former cable news host also interviewed the head pastor of the church, Jonathan Parnell, who asked him to leave the premises.
And thus Lemon may be about to be charged under civil rights laws designed expressly to prevent intimidation and violence by Democrat vigilantes.
American history is not without a sense of humour.
