GOP Faces Backlash as Protests Surge Against Trump Policies

URGENT UPDATE: Protests against the Trump administration are intensifying, with over 2,600 protest events planned across the nation, according to Indivisible organizer Ezra Levin. In an exclusive interview with CNN anchor Dana Bash, Levin revealed that the GOP is ramping up its attacks on protestors, fearing a loss of power as anti-Trump sentiment grows.

Levin’s comments come amid reports from the Wall Street Journal detailing the Trump administration’s plans to overhaul the IRS, specifically targeting left-wing groups like Indivisible. Levin stated, “They’re worried about peaceful, broad-based protests all around the country.” He emphasized that this reaction is typical of authoritarian regimes, which fear the mobilization of citizens against them.

Bash highlighted a clip of House Speaker Mike Johnson labeling protestors as the “Pro-Hamas wing” of the Democratic Party, showcasing the GOP’s escalating rhetoric against dissent. Levin questioned why the GOP is intensifying its hostility now, stating, “They are worried that they are losing their grip on power.”

The growing number of protests is a significant indicator of public sentiment, with Levin noting that the movement is gaining momentum. “Our numbers are skyrocketing,” he added, referring to the surge in RSVPs for protests compared to the June “No Kings” demonstrations.

Levin’s insights reveal a crucial moment in American politics as citizens across blue, red, and purple states unite against perceived authoritarianism. “The number one thing they fear is peaceful protests,” he declared, underscoring the power of collective action.

As this situation develops, all eyes will be on the upcoming protests and the potential responses from GOP officials. The urgency of these events resonates with citizens concerned about their rights and the democratic process, spotlighting a pivotal time in U.S. history.
