They’re getting zesty over Lemon.
The White House gloated on social media over former CNN anchor – and prominent President Trump critic – Don Lemon’s arrest Friday morning for allegedly attacking a Twin Cities church with anti-ICE protesters.
“When life gives you lemons…” the official White House X account captioned a picture of Lemon with details of his apprehension.
The pun-laced post came after Lemon was nabbed in Los Angeles on federal charges in connection with a controversial protest that stormed a Twin Cities church service Jan. 18.
Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023, has contended he only went into the church as a journalist covering the protesters, who swarmed the service after reports that the pastor was an ICE agent.
He was in Los Angeles covering the Grammy Awards when the feds took him into custody – an arrest that Mayor Karen Bass blasted as an “egregious assault” on the former anchor’s First Amendment rights as a journalist.
Another journalist who chronicled the mob – Georgia Fort – livestreamed her own arrest Friday morning and likewise raised constitutional concerns.
“It’s hard to understand how we have a Constitution, Constitutional rights, when we can just be arrested for being a member of the press,” Fort said during the dramatic livestream.
Lemon had just bragged Thursday night about his “fearless” brand of journalism and partied with rapper Busta Rhymes before the feds arrested him.
While Trump’s White House celebrated Lemon’s woes on social media, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche refused to be drawn into the party.
“What do you want me to do? Jump up and down?,” he said during a press conference at the Justice Department in Washington, DC, where he announced the release of more Jeffrey Epstein files.
