Republican Rep Spars With CNN's Pamela Brown Over No Kings Protestors: 'Standing for Communism'

"They're standing for communism. They're standing for anti-semitism. Just take a look at the rallies, right? This is the party the Republicans are the party of law and order. We don't believe in anti-semitism. Take a look at the speakers that they have at the rally. Take a look at what they're fighting for. They're fighting to defund the police, defund ICE."

"Brown pushed back, saying CNN had reporters at the protests, talking to attendees. Some of the ones we talked to had very moderate views on this. They say they love America, Brown said. They are very concerned that America is sliding into an autocracy. They look at the prosecutions of the president's critics, limits on press access in the Pentagon, the push to put the National Guard in American cities, and to these protestors, that concerns them."

Rep. Lisa McClain characterized No Kings rally attendees as standing for communism, anti‑Semitism, defunding police and ICE, and opposing capitalism and law and order. McClain framed the rallies as contrary to America‑first and core national principles and contrasted Republican support for law and order with Democratic positions. CNN's Pamela Brown reported that network reporters encountered attendees with moderate views who said they love America and voiced concern about perceived democratic erosion. Brown cited fears about prosecutions of presidential critics, limits on press access in the Pentagon, and the deployment of the National Guard in cities. Organizers reported roughly 7 million attendees.
