Don Lemon: I Will Not Be Silenced, I Look Forward To My Day In Court
Don Lemon spoke in Los Angeles after he was granted bond following his arrest in connection with a church protest in Minnesota.
DON LEMON: I need sunglasses. How are you? Wow. Can everybody hear me? Are you guys set? Everybody ready? So look, I want to thank everybody for their support. It really, it truly means the world to me. I have no idea what’s going on because obviously I haven’t seen anything. I’ve spent my entire career covering the news. I will not stop now. In fact, there is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable. Again, I will not stop now. I will not stop ever. Last night, the DOJ sent a team of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for something that I’ve been doing for the last 30 years, and that is covering the news. The First Amendment of the Constitution protects that work for me and for countless of other journalists who do what I do. I stand with all of them, and I will not be silenced. I look forward to my day in court. Thank you all.
