Former CNN host Don Lemon got hit with federal charges for reporting from an ICE protest, but he’s getting one-upped by CNN reporter Veronica Miracle … ’cause she just got hit with tear gas during her wild live shot from an ICE protest.

Check out this footage that just aired on CNN … Veronica is reporting live from an ICE protest Friday in downtown Los Angeles when all of a sudden the crowd is tear gassed … and she gets a face full of chemical irritants.

Veronica toughs it out and continues with her report … and it looks like she also got hit by a non-lethal round of some kind.

There was no tear gas or pepper spray when Don reported on an ICE protest that ripped through a Minnesota church … but he’s since been arrested and charged for being there, with the feds claiming he was more co-conspirator than journo.
