MSNBC’s Chris Hayes took Republicans to the woodshed over their dangerous new lies about the upcoming No Kings protests.
HAYES: This week we’ve been watching protests gather across the country, large and small, planned and impromptu. We saw a massive crowd march through Chicago this week. We covered it live on the air here against the escalating lawlessness there by masked federal agents.
Tonight there was a growing crowd in New York to protest the indictment of State Attorney General Letitia James on direct orders from Donald Trump. More and bigger protests are coming because millions of Americans are appalled with the direction the country is going in and they refuse to be silenced as their communities are being torn apart.
And that explains the incredibly dishonest and downright dangerous new talking point being pushed by MAGA. Republicans on Capitol Hill are claiming that peaceful protesters are part of a terrorist network hell-bent on destroying America, and that Democrats shut down the government, the government Republicans control, to do the bidding of these evil, violent leftists.
After showing clips House Speaker Mike Johnson and various other Republicans calling the protests the “Hate America rally,” and accusing people who will be attending of being “professional protesters” paid by George Soros, Antifa, pro-Hamas and various other smears, Hayes let them have it.
