'No Kings' protest organizer responds to Republican attacks: 'It's gonna be fun'

Ezra Levin, the executive co-director of the organization behind “No Kings Day,” called Indivisible, said Monday that people shouldn’t worry about taking to the streets for the upcoming “No Kings Day” on Saturday.

“Let me tell you: It’s gonna be fun,” he told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on “The Rachel Maddow Show.” “It’s gonna be powerful, and it’s gonna be a part of history.”

Levin lambasted the Trump administration and President Trump’s allies for criticizing the protests and for not even calling “No Kings Day” by its name. To this point, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) referred to “No Kings Day” as “a Hate America rally” in a Fox News interview on Friday. House GOP Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) said the same thing when he spoke with Fox Business Network on Saturday.

“They’ve got to make some other name up for it because they understand, if they say ‘No Kings,’ how is that objectionable?” Levin told Maddow. “How could anybody say that that’s anything other than the most American thing since apple pie? But I do think we have to hold two things in our head at the same time.
