Don Lemon has said Nicki Minaj is “out of her depth” and should “sit the f*** down” when it comes to politics after she called him a homophobic slur over his report on ICE protests at a Minneapolis church.
The former CNN anchor took to the social media app BlueSky on Sunday (January 18) to share footage of protestors interrupting a church service in Minneapolis. One of the church’s pastors is reportedly a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in St. Paul, Minnesota.
