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.

Hurt my feelings is woke IMHO

Is this what Jesus would have done?

[Nextrush]

Tit for tat we are that low I guess.

[moviefan8]

I hope the churchgoer wins and gives it to the church.

Whatever you say, Karen.

[Nextrush]

I don’t identify as a “Karen”...

Along with that soulless commie freak William Kelly.

[No name given]

Big time.

Nowhere in the article does it claim the parishioner is suing because Don Lemon hurt her feelings so not sure where you’re getting that.

GOOD!

Give it back to the left good and hard.

[metmom]

Impatient, aren’t you? Is anyone good enough for you?

Doing something like that successfully takes time to pull it together, not to mention finding a decent lawyer who’s willing to handle it.

People get in enough trouble with spur of the moment knee jerk reactions to something instead of thinking it through and planning it out.

I don't think that's it at all.

I think it's just giving them a taste of their own medicine to try to give them reason to NOT do it again.

Sometimes you have to speak someone's language for them to understand and democrats are so used to nobody holding them accountable, they end up doing stuff like that church atrocity.

Evil flourishes when good men do nothing.

That's OK. Everybody knows you're a "Karen."

[Nextrush]

Revenge?

[Nextrush]

Sounds like that to me.

[bray]

Sue the smug off his face.

[citizen]

Yep, make it a class action, with triple damages awarded.

[nonliberal]

To me, this is a problem. Instead of walking up and knocking his ass out, this person has to show how weak they are. People like this are why I don’t go to church.

[SisterK]

No not woke. It defends the rest of the American church from similar antics.

Yes!

[GranTorino]

It could be the weak person is the one who resorts to violence in a house of worship.
They should of beat him up outside.😁

Or else let the law take care of it. Paging Juicy Smollett.

Sue The Lemon for all his assets!!
