To the editor:
If Democrats won’t protect Christians, Trump should! A mob of three dozen activists overran a Southern Baptist church in St. Paul, Minn., this month, shouting and otherwise disrupting congregants at their worship service and leaving young children frightened and crying. Instead of properly condemning this intrusion, Minnesota’s top law enforcement praised it as First Amendment activity.
We Christians have the freedom to worship where we want to! Minnesota officials refuse to protect Christians from the mob. Trump must step in and prosecute those involved!
These militants reportedly targeted Cities Church because they believed one of its pastors was an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, although this has not been confirmed.
One of the militants who invaded the service was former CNN anchor Don Lemon, who was fired from the network in 2023 for harassing female colleagues. What a “jerk” he is! Multiple videos show that he and his fellow activists succeeded in making people uncomfortable, particularly children in the church who were seen crying while the Lemon gang was in the sanctuary.
The protesters have the legal right to stand outside any building, even a church, and shout their slogans, but they don’t have the right to enter the church and disrupt services. That is trespassing, it is illegal, and it should be prosecuted!
It is a stain on the state of Minnesota that its chief law enforcement officer, Keith Ellison, does not know this. Ellison, a Muslim, will not do his job.
“They’re getting tender about a church service now,” Ellison joked to Lemon.
Democrats preach tolerance until Christians happen to be in law enforcement. Then, they think they have a right not to tolerate peaceful worship. In Minnesota, religious liberty depends on whether the ruling party approves of your faith. If state officials won’t enforce the law, the federal government can, and should!
