<div>Bill Maher’s face goes flat as an audience member voices APPROVAL of Don Lemon’s arrest.</div> <div> </div> <div>“Somebody went yes, like, good,” Maher said, taken aback.</div> <div> </div> <div>“It’s not good to arrest him,” he fired back.</div> <div> </div> <div>But Maher’s firm opposition to the arrest quickly eroded when MTG educated him on the FACE Act, shifting him from “How can possibly you think this is good” to “Can we just charge Don Lemon with not cool man?”</div> <div> </div> <div>MAHER: “They arrested Don Lemon. Somebody went yes, like, good. It’s not good to arrest him.”</div> <div> </div> <div>MTG: “Well, I’m going to say he violated the FACE Act. He went into a church, disrupted their worship, and then later in an interview, compared them to white supremacists. That’s not journalism. That’s activism.”</div> <div> </div> <div>MAHER: “But does it warrant getting arrested?”</div> <div> </div> <div>MTG: “Disrupting a worship service, stopping people’s right to worship God? That is violation of the FACE Act. And under the Biden administration, pro-lifers were sent to prison up to 11 years for praying in front of an abortion clinic, and they were convicted under the FACE Act. So I don’t think that’s journalism. That’s not First Amendment, going in and harassing people in the middle of church.”</div> <div> </div> <div>MAHER: “Okay, but can we just charge him with ‘not cool, man’?”</div> <div> </div> <div>MTG: “I completely support his arrest.”</div> ]]> Sat 31 Jan 2026 10:28:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610652/mtg-silences-bill-maher-over-the-don-lemon-arrest/
