Mike Johnson slams leftists’ ‘hate America rally’ amid ongoing protests
The first wave of the protest, held in June, was organized against President Donald Trump’s parade marking the 25th anniversary of the US Army, during which demonstrators stayed away from Washington, DC.

However, this time, many protesters showed up on the National Mall dressed in brightly colored costumes. During a press conference on October 10, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said that leftists would be engaging in the “hate America rally” over the weekend, referring to the protests.
Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end." pic.twitter.com/9du1GED0z2

He said Americans could expect to see “the Marxists, the socialists, the Antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far-left Democrat Party,” whom he collectively described as “the modern Democratic Party.”
“That’s where they’ve gone, and the hate America rally is the common theme among all those groups. Listen to the language they use themselves. Many of them don’t like living in America. They hate capitalism. They hate our free enterprise system.
They hate our principles. They hate the ideas that we come in to work every day to fight for, to preserve the greatest nation in the history of the world,” he added.
