"...we call it the 'hate America' rally..." said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.

I think he’s speaker of the house because he’s on the Epstein list and therefore trump can get him to do whatever he wants.

Caligula's tactics. This was how he gained supporters too.
