Jane Fonda Defends Don Lemon: ‘The Feds Arrested the Wrong Don… He Did Nothing Wrong!

Jane Fonda is speaking out after the federal government arrested the wrong Don, calling out the Trump administration for targeting Don Lemon instead of the real culprit. The iconic actress passionately defended the former CNN anchor outside the federal courthouse, where Lemon was attending a hearing after his arrest for allegedly disrupting a church service. Fonda urged the gathered protesters not to fall for what she called the government’s manipulation.

Fonda argued that Lemon was simply doing his job as a journalist—nothing more, nothing less—and insisted there was no reason for the feds to detain him. She encouraged people to keep raising their voices in protest against the government’s treatment of Lemon, vowing that she would continue to speak out in support of journalists like him.

She wrapped up her comments with a firm declaration: “They arrested the wrong Don!” — clearly signaling her frustration with the situation and implying that it’s the President who should be behind bars, not the former news anchor.

The federal government, however, disagrees with Fonda’s stance. In Lemon’s indictment, they argue that he wasn’t just a journalist but a protester at the St. Paul, Minnesota church, allegedly conspiring with other protestors to “injure, oppress, threaten, and intimidate” clergy and congregants. The indictment further claims Lemon failed to leave the church when asked and purposely withheld information about the location in collusion with the protesters.

Lemon faces charges of conspiracy against religious freedom and interfering with the exercise of that freedom at a place of worship.

The case has sparked widespread controversy, with protests erupting outside the courthouse, with some even accusing Lemon and the group he was with of terrorizing children. The debate is heating up, and the nation remains divided. Stay tuned for more updates.
