Don Lemon, an independent journalist who formerly worked for CNN, has pled not guilty to charges of violating federal civil rights protections when a protest interrupted a worship service in a Minnesota church in January, the Associated Press reports.

Lemon appeared in court Friday as one of five people arraigned in the case. He entered a not guilty plea.

He later issued a statement through his attorneys:

"The events before my arrest, and what’s happened since, show that people are finally realizing what this Administration is all about. For them, the process is the punishment. Like all of you here in Minnesota, I will not be intimidated, I will not back down, and I will fight these baseless charges," he said.

They are such assholes. He had already made it clear that he would voluntarily turn himself in, and yet ALL FOR SHOW, they had to send agents to arrest him publicly.
