In a moment of astonishing self-incrimination, the organizer behind the storming of Cities Church didn’t just disappear into the fog of activist denial. She did the opposite. She publicly thanked everyone involved in disrupting the worship service—and then pinned the post to her profile, as if documenting the operation were some sort of badge of honor rather than evidence.
An unhinged liberal storms into a church in the middle of service, yelling at people as they try to worship. He repeatedly shouts, “stand with the Somalis, stand with the Latinos,” disrupting the entire service and confronting churchgoers as they exit.

Among those thanked were “independent journalists” Don Lemon and DawokeFarmer2, also known as William Kelly. Whatever the label, the footage Kelly himself has uploaded makes one thing clear: his role looked far less like journalism and far more like agitation. In one TikTok clip, Kelly berates the congregants inside the church as “fake Christians” for not protesting outside an ICE detention facility, lacing the tirade with insults and theatrical outrage. This was not observation. It was participation.
Kelly’s content goes further. In additional videos, he attempts to elevate the death of Renee Good into a George Floyd-style national cause, reviving slogans long since discredited and recycling narratives that collapse under even minimal scrutiny. The goal appears consistent: inflame, provoke, and radicalize—then film the reaction and call it reporting.
All this dude does is harass people.
He needs to be deported to Somalia.

After retreating from the scene, Kelly reportedly escalated his rhetoric, daring Attorney General Pam Bondi to “come after him” and hurling profane insults in the process. This wasn’t the language of someone concerned about civil liberties or press freedom. It was the bravado of someone convinced that chaos itself provides immunity.
This man, William Kelly, a ring leader for the mob that stormed a Southern Baptist Church yesterday, is part of a group that has so severely harassed Christ Church in DC that they sent a church member to the hospital w/ a shattered eardrum. Details

What’s especially revealing is the contrast between the rhetoric and the reality. Claims of starvation, concentration camps, and systemic terror are invoked constantly, yet the individuals pushing these narratives appear well-fed, well-equipped, and financially supported through donations that sustain their brand of “independent journalism.” There is no visible desperation—only performance.

This matters because the legal questions surrounding the Cities Church incident are not abstract. Federal authorities have already indicated that potential violations of the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act are under review. Those statutes exist precisely to address coordinated efforts to intimidate, disrupt, or deny Americans their civil and religious rights. When organizers publicly thank participants, identify collaborators, and celebrate the disruption of a worship service, they are not engaging in protected persuasion. They are documenting a campaign of intimidation.
