Trump slams ‘loser lightweight’ Don Lemon and ‘paid agitators’ over church raid in Minneapolis while showing photos of violent criminals | The Gateway Expert | by Jordan Conradson

President Trump on Tuesday cracked down on disgraced liberal activist Don Lemon, the fired former CNN anchor, after he took part in storming a Minneapolis church and harassing worshiping families over the weekend.

Trump spoke to reporters for nearly two hours in the White House press conference room on Tuesday, a year into his second term.

The president spent the first twenty minutes of the press conference highlighting the heinous, violent criminals that ICE is removing from the United States and defending ICE agents who are being smeared, physically attacked, and deceived by the left.

At one point he went off script and highlighted the recent incident in Minneapolis, where deranged left-wing activists illegally invaded a church service, interrupted the worship service, and closed the church because the pastor alleged ties to ICE.

Don Lemon was there and also livestreamed his participation in the event. “This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest,” Don Lemon said as he and his comrades harassed families with children. “I’m sure people here don’t like it, but protests are not pleasant.”

Pastor Jonathan Parnell, who Trump said he has “so much respect,” answered questions and shut down Don Lemon at the church, describing their behavior as “unacceptable” and “shameful” as Lemon defiantly claimed he had the right to harass churchgoers and accused Parnell of pressuring him. Don Lemon was extremely hostile and demanding as the pastor tried to explain very respectfully, “We are here to worship Jesus,” and begged Lemon to leave.

Showing the illegal aliens’ mugshots and criminal records, Trump told reporters: “This is what the people do [in Minneapolis] trying to protect.” He continued, “All ICE wants to do is get them out of our country, get them to jails and prisons and mental health facilities where they came from. That’s all they want to do. They are patriots and they should be abused by guys like Don Lemon, a loser and a lightweight.”

“I saw him walking in that church. It was horrible. I have so much respect for that pastor. He was so calm, he was so nice. He was just spoken to. What they did in that church was horrible,” Trump added before highlighting more violent criminal aliens and addressing the “paid agitators and insurrectionists” in Minnesota.

Trump: This is all Minnesota, y’all. This is one state of many. And these people are… Let’s see. Yes, so far these are all people who came from outside the country. They were let in by Sleepy Joe Biden, Crooked Joe Biden, whatever you want, you can call him whatever you want. They’re both right. He is sleepy and crooked. He was the worst president we ever had, and we’ve had some bad ones too. I can tell you that all you have to do is look at the trade. You’re not bored with this, are you? I hope you don’t. These are people you need to see. Strong-arm rape, aggravated assault with a weapon, and many other crimes.

Gang member, known as one of the toughest people around. These are tough people. So this is what the people are trying to protect because all ICE wants to do is get them out of our country, get them to jails and prisons and mental health facilities where they came from. That’s all they want to do. They’re patriots and they need to be abused by guys like Don Lemon, a loser and a lightweight. I saw him as he walked through that church. It was terrible. I have so much respect for that pastor. He was so calm, he was so kind. He was just spoken to. What they did in that church was terrible.

Look here, 24 convictions. Convicted 24 times. They are not charges. These are beliefs. So he comes from outside the country. Do you think he will do well here? Convicted 24 times. He’ll be fine here, right? It doesn’t work that way. Here is a man, murder, one of many, one of many. All they want is to get them out. They want to take them out of our country. And we meet paid agitators and insurgents, troublemakers. They get paid.

You know, when the woman got shot, I felt terrible about it, and I understand both sides of it, but when she got shot, there was another woman screaming, “shame, shame, shame, shame,” right? You saw it. So loud, like a professional opera singer, she was so loud and so professional. She wasn’t a woman who was wounded, like oh, my heart is wounded. She was a professional. “Shame, shame,” she shouts, “shame, shame.” I said this is not a normal person, but a professional. These are professional agitators and professional people who want our country to do poorly. But that won’t happen, because despite this decline, we have the warmest country in the world. Look here, all top criminals. They won’t be good. They won’t behave well here. I could do thousands. We had over 3,000 in the last barely short well just in Minnesota, what’s the number? 10,000! 10,000 criminals, and these are serious criminals. How can you have a place with 10,000 criminals, how can you have a state? And yet they fight us.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump also responded to the incident on Monday after seeing footage of it, calling for the anti-ICE agitators to be “thrown in jail or thrown out of the country.”

“The first to go is Walz, and Fake Sleazebag, Ilhan Omar, who is supposedly worth over $30 million even though she’s never had anything other than a government job,” he added. “Investigate these corrupt politicians, and do it now!”
