America’s two-tiered justice system appears to be alive and well even under the conservative Trump administration.

Conservative independent reporter Kaitlan Bennett has been doing on-the-ground interviews of leftist activists for years, and just revealed she’s been charged with a “federal crime” for doing so.

“I was charged with a FEDERAL CRIME by @NatlParkService in St. Augustine, Florida, for committing the GRAVE offense of asking Democrats questions on public property! Keep federal agents out of our cities… unless they’re locking up conservatives for different opinions! 🤔,” Bennet stated on X.

Bennett noted that she was slapped with the charges before leftist activist, “journalist” Don Lemon, who’s under fire for storming a Minneapolis church and intimidating the congregation.

“I got federally charged before Don Lemon, and I was just talking to people on the grass in a public park! @PamBondi @TheJusticeDept should look into this matter,” she further stated on X.

Bennett posted the scene when she was cited on YouTube and can be watched below:

It didn’t take long for Bennett’s news to travel, and X users sounded off with plenty of criticism for the park ranger who issued the ticket:

Wow, and in Florida. Hey @GovRonDeSantis, what’s up with this?

How is this even possible in FLORIDA? One of the many reasons I love living in FL so you don’t have to deal with dumb shit like this. @RonDeSantis @AGJamesUthmeier

He gave you this ticket based on his emotions and ego, not the law. You’ll win, and this guy should have retired yesterday.

That’s the thing. He’s not a cop, he’s a park ranger that thinks he’s one!

There was plenty of outrage over the two-tiered justice, too:

@POTUS How could @KaitMarieox be federally charged for standing on public property asking questions when nothing is happening to those screaming threats and profanity at anyone who looks conservative in MN?

On public’s spaces Liberals can scream anything they want but if she…

Can someone go wake Pam Bondi up.. She’s been on her lunch break for the entire shift.

Pretty sad isn’t it? The guy could not even articulate what federal law/lawful order was broken. And here is Don Lemon and goons 4 days ago storming a Baptist Church and terrorizing its patrons and all we hear from Pam Bondi is “No one is above the law” crap.

Perhaps the Bondi critics will be relieved to learn that she did announce the first arrest in the Minnesota church attack, nearly simultaneously as the Bennett story was breaking.

Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota.

So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

We will share more updates as they…

It remains to be seen if Lemon will face the same fate.
