Supporters of former President Trump are voicing significant opposition to the planned 'No Kings' protests set for October 18. Key Republican figures, including Representative Mike Johnson and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, have characterized potential demonstrators as extremists, using labels such as 'America-haters' and 'terrorists.' This backlash seems to be part of a strategy orchestrated by Stephen Miller, who aims to undermine the legitimacy of the protests. Ironically, this negative attention may lead to increased attendance, as Democrats and event organizers are utilizing the GOP's strong rhetoric to rally support. Additionally, actor Robert De Niro has publicly urged people to participate, sparking further debate on platforms like Fox News regarding the significance of these upcoming protests.
