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 framing the "No Kings" protests as "Hate America" protests.
They described the gatherings as "terrorist" and "Soros-funded" events filled with "the antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists." However, organizers say these protests are First Amendment-protected rallies where millions of Americans will peacefully stand against the Trump administration's agenda.
These protests are expected to be one of the largest days of mass protest in the US.
