Why the No Kings Protests Matter
The Trump administration fears mass, nonviolent protests. Recently, GOP leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Tom Emmer, and Secretary Sean Duffy, began describing the "No Kings" protests as "Hate America" protests.
They framed the demonstrations as "terrorist" and "Soros-funded" events, filled with "the antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists." This narrative is meant to undermine the protests, which organizers say could be one of the largest days of mass protest.
