Why the No Kings Protests Matter
The Trump administration fears mass, nonviolent protests, and has started a narrative about the "No Kings" protests.
Top GOP leadership, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Tom Emmer, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, describe the protests as "Hate America" events, filled with "the antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists."
Republican leadership is framing the upcoming demonstrations as "terrorist" and "Soros-funded" events.
Organizers expect millions of Americans to peacefully stand against the Trump administration's agenda in what could be one of the largest days of mass protest.
The protests are First Amendment-protected rallies, but the GOP narrative aims to discredit them.
