Speaker Johnson critiques the ‘No Kings’ protests, revealing political contradictions behind the demonstrations.
Speaker Mike Johnson wasted no time dismantling the theatrics behind Saturday’s so-called «No Kings» protests, calling out the glaring contradictions in the left’s latest political stunt. Organized by activist groups and bolstered by prominent Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the demonstrations were pitched as a defense of democracy against President Trump’s supposed authoritarian impulses. Johnson wasn’t buying it, and he made sure everyone knew why.
Johnson took apart the entire premise during an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl.
“You called these hate America rallies,” Karl began. “What do you mean by that?”
He didn’t just call the protests ridiculous. He pointed out the obvious: if Trump really were the autocrat Democrats claim he is, none of those protests would have been possible in the first place. «If President Trump was a king, the government would be open right now», Johnson said. «If President Trump was a king, they would not have been able to engage in that free speech exercise out on the Mall.»
That remark reveals the fundamental contradiction at the heart of their hysteria. If these protesters genuinely believed Trump was acting like a king or becoming a dictator, they would already be silenced.
