Don Lemon’s arrest turned into a MAGA misfire

[Rocket-Powered Ha]

I think this whole situation is a total win for Don Lemon and the media community . The administration thought they could silence him with some fancy federal agents, but instead, it ended up making him a martyr . And let's be real, who wouldn't want to support a journalist who's not afraid to speak truth to power?

The fact that the right-wing media outlets are now looking like the villains is just cherry on top . It shows that when you try to silence someone, they only end up getting more attention and backing from people who actually care about a free press.

I'm also loving how Lemon's team turned this into an opportunity for him to speak out and raise awareness about the issues he covers . The whole YouTube telethon thing was genius . It just goes to show that when we work together, we can really make some noise and stand up against those who want to silence us

The whole thing with Don Lemon just goes to show how out of touch Trump is. Like, come on, arrest a journalist for doing his job? It's not like he was trying to incite violence or anything. I mean, you'd think someone in his position would have better things to do than try to silence the press.

And can we talk about how embarrassing it is for Trump that this backfired on him so badly? The whole "best thing that could happen" comment? Give me a break. At least Lemon turned it into an opportunity and used it to rally his team and the public's support. That takes a lot more class than trying to bully someone into silence.

It's also super telling that Trump is now admitting that maybe, just maybe, he made a mistake. It's about time he started listening to some people who might actually know what they're talking about.

lolol @ Don Lemon's arrest ! like, who tries to intimidate a journalist covering the Grammys? his team totally turned it around and now he's the one being celebrated ! trump is just mad that no one's buying his claims of ignorance . but seriously, this whole thing was just an attempt to silence journalists for doing their job . glad we live in a time where ppl are rallying around Don Lemon and showing support for the 4th estate !

man this whole situation with don lemon is wild he gets arrested by 24 federal agents for doing his job at a grammy party and it backfires so hard people are standing up for him left and right at pre-grammys parties and on social media... meanwhile trump is trying to spin it as a victory lap but really he's just looking foolish like, what's next? arresting other journalists for doing their thing? that's literally the opposite of how democracy is supposed to work
