Don Lemon, still reeling from his arrest on federal civil rights charges for disrupting a worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, has turned his ire on Vice President JD Vance. 

Lemon labeled Vance a “vile human being” for refusing to apologize over a reposted tweet, while insisting HE is the real Christian.

This latest outburst comes amid Lemon’s ongoing legal troubles, where prosecutors accuse him of conspiring to interfere with religious freedoms under the FACE Act. 

As detailed in our previous coverage, Lemon’s shift from weary race commentator to full-throated radical has landed him in hot water with the Trump DOJ, which is pushing for prison time.

Lemon’s attack on Vance stems from the vice president’s interview with a Daily Mail journalist, where Vance declined to apologize for reposting Stephen Miller’s tweet calling Alex Pretti an assassin. Vance’s straightforward response: “For what?”

Lemon ranted: “This is a vile human being. It’s not that hard, all he would have to say is I am sorry, no one should die that way. Why can’t you do that JD Vance? Do you have to kiss Donald Trump’s ring and his butt that much that you have to forgo your humanity?… It’s inhumane.”

“It’s really just vile and disgusting,” Lemon continued to froth, adding “He talks about Christianity so much — Christians don’t behave that way. Not real Christians.”

The hypocrisy didn’t go unnoticed on X. Users fired back, highlighting Lemon’s role in the church incident where protesters burst in, chanting against ICE and forcing families out into the cold.

These reactions underscore the backlash against Lemon, who once admitted fatigue with race narratives but now embodies the very identity politics he seemed to question. 

Attorney General Pam Bondi described the January 18 incident as a “coordinated attack” on the church, where an ICE official serves as pastor. 

Lemon, along with co-defendants like Georgia Fort, faces charges of conspiracy and interfering with religious rights. 

He was arrested in Los Angeles on January 30, claiming a dozen agents showed up despite his offer to surrender. Released without bond, his next court date is February 9 in Minneapolis.

Lemon has vowed to fight the charges, insisting he was merely covering the protest. But critics point to his livestreaming and embedding with agitators as active participation, not neutral reporting.

This episode with Vance highlights Lemon’s selective moral outrage. While decrying Vance’s supposed lack of humanity, Lemon ignores calls for his own apology to the traumatized congregation.
