MSNBC interviewed one No Kings organizer on Saturday who said that if people like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) want to rip the protestors as Antifa members, she will wear it as a badge of honor, because she is “proud” to say the attendees are fighting back against President Donald Trump’s “fascist government.”
Reporter Nnamdi Egwuonwu, during a live hit from Houston on MSNBC Reports, spoke to a woman only identified as “Bethany,” who is an organizer with 50501, one of the groups spearheading the nationwide No Kings rallies.
Egwuonwuasked Bethany for her “response” to Republicans who said the attendees were “anti-American” and members of Antifa. Bethany laughed, said that is “silly,” but that yes, according to the “definition” of it, the protestors were certainly Antifa.
“Obviously, if you look at the definition of it, Antifa, anti-fascist — I’ve spoke to a couple of veterans who said that’s literally what they fought against. They are anti-fascist. So I think I should be proud to say that the people out here are Antifa,” Bethany said. “We don’t agree with the fascist government.”
Bethany did not mention what aspects of the Trump Administration in particular she believed were fascist.
MSNBC’s question for her — and Bethany’s response — comes a few days after Johnson mockingly dubbed the protests as the “We Hate America Rally.” Johnson predicted the second No Kings event — just like the first one back in June — would be littered with a bunch of communists and terrorist supporters who loathe their own country.
“I encourage you to watch — we call it the ‘Hate America Rally’ — that’ll happen Saturday,” Johnson said on Wednesday. “Let’s see who shows up for that. I bet ya see pro-Hamas supporters, I bet you you see Antifa-types, I bet ya see the Marxists in full display. The people who don’t want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.”
The 50501 group’s website said it is dedicated to protests that are against the “anti-democratic and illegal actions of the Trump administration and its plutocratic allies.” The featured image on its site includes a picture of a protest where one attendee is holding a sign with Trump’s picture on it that said “impeach the b*tch,” and another sign that said “Trump: enemy of the people.”
