Well, well, well. Somewhere, Saul Alinsky is sitting back with a smug grin, sipping something dark and strong, watching his playbook get acted out word for word in the blue bubble formerly known as Minnesota. And leading the charge? None other than Keith Ellison — the state’s Attorney General, former Congressman, and current apologist-in-chief for political street theater disguised as protest.
You’d think the top law enforcement officer in the state might have something, anything, to say about a church getting stormed by radical anti-ICE protesters mid-service. You’d think, right? But nope. Instead, Ellison shows up on Don Lemon’s vanity livestream — which is one step above an Instagram rant, by the way — to rationalize the mob and wrap it all up in a neat little First Amendment bow. Because nothing says “freedom of expression” like crashing a worship service and intimidating people for… praying.
Let’s pause here. Just to recap: A group of radicals entered a church, disrupted services, terrified parishioners, and made it clear that in Minnesota, law-abiding Christians practicing their faith are fair game. All in the name of “protest.” And Ellison? He’s just shrugging it off like it’s a mildly annoying pop-up ad. His exact words: “It’s just something you’ve got to live with in a society.” Really, Keith? Does that rule apply to mosques, too? Or is that where the “tolerance” line gets drawn real quick?
Meanwhile, Don Lemon — CNN’s least-missed anchor — is playing journalist-turned-activist, having reportedly been on-site before the “ambush” and then spinning it like he just happened to wander into chaos with a microphone. As Harmeet Dhillon pointed out, that’s not journalism. That’s embedding with agitators in what might be a criminal conspiracy. If he coordinated with the mob, that’s not a scoop. That’s aiding and abetting.

It’s hard to overstate how dangerously slippery this slope is. The left’s tolerance for lawlessness — when it suits their ideological aims — is no longer a bug. It’s the feature. They don’t just permit chaos; they incentivize it. Churches being invaded mid-service? Not a problem if it’s the “right kind” of protest. Try that with a left-wing rally or a drag queen story hour, though, and see how quickly DHS shows up in tactical gear.
And don’t be fooled: Ellison knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s not stupid. He’s not confused. He’s just counting on the rest of us to be too shell-shocked to push back. This is Alinsky’s Rule 1 in action: “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.” The radicals have Ellison. They have Lemon. They have a press corps that will look the other way or frame the story as brave “resistance.” That’s power — at least for now.
But here’s a thought experiment: Let’s say a group of peaceful Christians decided to “lift their voices” inside Ellison’s mosque on a Friday afternoon. Just a little First Amendment expression, right? Maybe they hand out pamphlets, sing a hymn or two, you know, just “make their peace.” You think Ellison would tell Don Lemon, “It’s just something you’ve got to live with”? Please. You’d see law enforcement descend faster than a Twitter ban on a conservative account.

The double standard is the point. This is about creating fear — a soft totalitarianism wrapped in slogans about tolerance and free speech. They want churches to be afraid to speak out. They want citizens to be unsure whether the law will protect them or hang them out to dry. And they want prosecutors like Ellison to keep the radicals on the street while law-abiding Americans stay home, quiet and intimidated.
But this isn’t a one-way street. If Ellison’s terms are that protest now includes trespassing, intimidation, and disruption of worship, then fine. But don’t whine when the rules apply both ways. And they will. Eventually.
As for Don Lemon — the wandering prophet of protest chic — it’s almost too easy. “My Uncle Don,” the viral meme says, “thinks he’s a news anchor. If you see him, please bring him home.” Honestly, at this point, the man’s livestreams are just a series of sad monologues performed in front of a webcam like a divorced dad trying to win back his kids through TikTok videos. Tragic.
But let’s not lose the plot. This isn’t just about one church, one AG, or one washed-up anchor. This is about the progressive elite using chaos to push their agenda, ignoring the rule of law, and betting that we’ll do nothing. That bet, eventually, is going to cost them.
