An alleged Minnesota churchgoer filed a lawsuit against former CNN anchor Don Lemon and protesters for “emotional distress,” TMZ reported Tuesday.
Ann Doucette alleged in court documents that Lemon and protesters “unlawfully interfered” with her right to “freely exercise her religion in a private place of worship” when he stormed her church during a Jan. 18 service to protest federal immigration enforcement, according to TMZ. She claimed to suffer “severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety, and trauma” as a result of the protest, and is suing for an unspecified amount of money, according to the outlet.

Lawyers are a double edged sword. Of course, both edges get paid.
Thats great. Take all their money.
Commies hate it when you use their own tactics against them.
What a woke type of lawsuit IMHO?
Hopefully one of many to come for that clown
I can’t believe it has taken this long for victims of this idiocy to finally sue. Everyone in that church should sue, individually, bankrupt that clown.
Watch him set up a GoFundMe.
He’s entitled, and has no shame.
Love it!
A little taste of their own medicine, IMHO?
Good for her!
Daily Caller makes it sound like that's some kind of crime.
He had his arraignment, when does he go to court?
No not woke. It defends the rest of the American church from similar antics.
Waiting for a judge to say she has no standing.
Ditto !
Alleged churchgoer….so not a churchgoer until proven guilty?
You are exactly right, and I can’t believe I didn’t take note of it.
Each person should wait until one case is done, and sue him one after another, one at a time. Stretch it out for yeeeeeeears!
The process is part of the punishment, along with owing big bucks every time!
The membership should join together and hit him with a class action suit.
