The Trump administration fears mass, nonviolent protests. Recently, GOP leadership introduced a narrative about the "No Kings" protests.
Leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson, Rep. Tom Emmer, and Secretary Sean Duffy describe the protests as "Hate America" and "terrorist" events.
They claim the gatherings are "Soros-funded" and filled with "the antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists."
Organizers expect millions to peacefully protest against the Trump administration's agenda.
This messaging aims to undermine the protests, which could be one of the largest days of mass protest.
