Alveda King is done staying quiet.
The gospel singer, evangelist, and senior advisor in President Trump’s administration unloaded on Don Lemon and anti-ICE activists after a jaw-dropping Sunday spectacle in Minnesota — where protesters stormed a church, terrified families, and drove worshippers out of the sanctuary.
And King says they dare to invoke Martin Luther King Jr. while doing it?
“Absolutely not,” she told The Christian Post. “My uncle preached peace. He trained us to protest without violence, without hate, and without destroying the spirit of community. What happened in that church was the opposite.”
The Twin Cities have erupted following two ICE-related shootings, including the death of 37-year-old Renee Good. But what started as street marches has morphed into something far more aggressive — including the unbelievable moment activists marched into Cities Church in St. Paul, where a pastor also serves as acting director of ICE’s regional field office.
This time, they didn’t chant outside.
They barged in.
They recorded worshippers.
They yelled at pastors.
Children cried as families tried to flee.
And at the center of the chaos?
Don Lemon — livestreaming the confrontation as if it were a badge of honor.
“These people might be uncomfortable and traumatized,” Lemon shrugged on video. “That’s what protesting is about.”
To King, the comment was stunning.
“Traumatizing families inside a church? Seriously?” she said. “Don Lemon completely misunderstands the Civil Rights Movement. Uncle Martin would have condemned this — loudly.”
President Trump’s Justice Department is wasting no time. Investigators are reviewing whether the protesters violated federal law, including the FACE Act, which protects Americans’ right to worship without harassment, intimidation, or obstruction.
A senior official told reporters the church invasion “crosses several red lines.”
King said her uncle understood something activists today refuse to admit:
freedom requires both peaceful protest and strong law enforcement.
“Uncle Martin supported peaceful marches. But he also recognized there were moments when the National Guard was needed to restore order,” she said. “People forget that because it doesn’t fit their narrative.”
If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today at 97, King says he’d issue a dire warning about the country’s current path.
“He would beg America to stop tearing itself apart,” she said. “He would say again, ‘We must learn to live together as brothers — and as sisters — or perish together as fools.’ And right now? We’re flirting with the latter.”
She added that her uncle anchored every message in Scripture, especially the call to servant leadership.
“He believed greatness came from humility,” she said. “Not rage. Not intimidation. Not storming churches.”
Despite the rising tension, King insists America is still redeemable — with God’s help.
“George Wallace was one of the most racist governors in America’s history. Yet he repented. He changed. If he can change, anyone can,” she said.
Her prescription for national healing is blunt:
• Faith in God
• Prayer
• Forgiveness — even when it’s hard
“Mark 11 tells us exactly what to do,” she said. “Pray, believe, forgive. We cannot fix America while clinging to grudges.”

Lemon is little more than a self-promoting crackpot and was entirely complicit in the attack on the church. He most certainly is not, and never should be refereed to, as a journalist.
