GOP Rep. reveals Dem plot to cause chaos at 'No Kings Day' protests
Share and Follow

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., raised concerns on Friday about potential Democrat agitators infiltrating the upcoming ‘No Kings Day’ protests.

She is specifically worried about leftists impersonating Trump supporters and committing violence to make MAGA look bad.

In a social media post, Luna warned against attending the protests, claiming that there were reports of leftists planning to wear MAGA gear to spark disorder.

The ‘No Kings Day’ protests are scheduled to take place on Saturday in more than 2,000 locations across the US as a response to President Donald Trump’s military parade happening in Washington, D.C. on the same day.

Organizations involved with coordinating this large-scale resistance are strongly pushing back against what they describe as Trump’s march toward authoritarianism on issues such as immigration enforcement, civil rights and cuts to the federal government through DOGE.

The simple message people involved want to get across is that ‘we don’t do kings in America,’ Ezra Levin, the co-executive director of progressive organizing group Indivisible, told ABC News.

Organizers have also pointed out that the military parade, meant to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US Army, coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday. 

Trump has denied a connection between the parade’s timing and his birthday, pointing out how June 14 is Flag Day, a holiday that’s been around for over a century.

On Thursday, reporters gathered in the East Wing of the White House asked Trump his thoughts on the ‘No Kings Day’ protests.

‘I don’t feel like a king,’ he said. ‘I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.’ 

Trump was signing a resolution to roll back California’s electric vehicle mandate, a first-of-its-kind initiative that would have stopped the sale of gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. 

‘A king would have never had the California mandate … he wouldn’t have to call up Mike Johnson and Thune and say “fellas you’ve gotta pull this off” and after years get it done,’ Trump continued, name-checking House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune. 

Trump then added, ‘We’re not a king, we’re not a king at all, thank you very much,’ before moving onto the next question.

‘No Kings’ organizers have told potential demonstrators to actually stay away from Washington, D.C., which already has a heavy security presence thanks to the parade. 

Fencing was erected around the White House, the Capitol Building and parts of the National Mall ahead of Saturday’s event.

A group of anti-Trump veterans didn’t heed organizers’ advice, as 60 of them were arrested outside the US Capitol Building late Friday night.

By around 7pm, about 60 people left the group and migrated over to the Capitol, which was when officers established a perimeter (pictured) as a precaution, the statement said.

‘USCP is in the process of arresting approximately 60 demonstrators. All will be charged with unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line. Additional charges for some will include assault on a police officer and resisting arrest,’ according to the statement.

Capitol Police added that two people who were arrested had to be taken to a local hospital for their injuries.

Members of the organization Veterans for Peace were the ones behind the sit-in on the Capitol Steps, according to an Instagram post.

‘Approximately 60 veterans and military family members staged a sit-in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC to demand the military get off our city streets from LA to DC, and taxpayer money be directed towards real investments in housing, health care, and food — not political stunts or militarism,’ the group wrote.

The Secret Service, which is leading security for Trump’s military parade, told CNN they have planned for mass protests on Saturday.
