"They have a Hate America' rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall, the House speaker, Mike Johnson, said on Fox News on Friday. It's all the pro-Hamas wing and, you know, the antifa people. They're all coming out. The Republican Minnesota congressman Tom Emmer said the party's terrorist wing was holding the Hate America rally. Democrats want to keep the government shut down to show all those people that are going to come here and express their hatred towards this country that they're fighting President Trump, said the House majority leader, Steve Scalise."
"These people are, of course, slandering the second round of No Kings marches, following those on 14 June, which dwarfed Trump's pitiful birthday party military parade. This time the events more than 2,500 of them, according to organizers, planned for every state promise to be even larger. Trump's allies are trying to overwrite the patriotic, historically resonant words No Kings with insinuations of treasonous violence. Everyone participating in the protests must prove them wrong. Nonviolence, both rigorously disciplined and open-hearted, must define 18 October."
Republican officials characterized the October 18 National Mall demonstrations as a 'Hate America' rally and alleged involvement of pro-Hamas, antifa, and paid protesters. House leaders accused Democrats of using a shutdown to support protesters and questioned who was funding the demonstrations. Organizers planned more than 2,500 No Kings events nationwide, aiming to surpass June turnout and defending the phrase No Kings against insinuations of treasonous violence. Organizers urged that nonviolence, both rigorously disciplined and open-hearted, must define 18 October. National security measures and restricted briefings have linked protest activity to domestic extremist concerns and information campaigns.
