‘I Will Not Back Down’: Don Lemon Enters Not Guilty Plea

Far left. Going your way here. How do you feel going in? This is what community looks like. Show me what community looks like. This is what community looks like. I wanted to say this isn’t just about me. This is about all journalists, especially here in the United States. For more than 30 years, I’ve been a journalist, and the power and protection of the First Amendment has been the underpinning of my work. The First Amendment, the freedom of the press, the bedrock of our democracy. I will not be intimidated. I will not back down. I will fight these baseless charges and I will not be silenced. Thank you very much. Thank you.
