House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) responded to a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter's threat to kill the House Democratic leader by saying that violence was "triggered" by the recent No Kings protests opposing President Donald Trump.

House speaker says Trump was employing ‘satire’ when he posted a meme of himself wearing a crown and dumping a payload of apparent feces on protesters at the ‘No Kings’ rally

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Sunday said the “No Kings” protests against President Trump this weekend were a “stunt” created by Democrats because they needed “cover” amid the ongoing government

(January 6, 2021, the attack on Paul Pelosi, the murders of Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, the wounding of Minnesota state senator John Hoffman and his wife, the Tree of Life murders in Pittsburgh, the El Paso Walmart shootings, and the gunman who targeted Black shoppers at a Buffalo supermarket.)

Ahead of Saturday’s radical “No Kings” rallies, the speaker of the House provided a “ accurate description” to encapsulate the extremism that represents the “modern Democratic Party.” […]

A No Kings organizer said if Mike Johnson wants to brand them as Antifa, that's fine, because she is "proud" to fight back against Trump's "fascist government."

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday doubled down on his criticisms of millions of protesters who joined Saturday’s “No Kings” rallies across the nation, decrying the widely peaceful demonstrations as evidence of “a rise of Marxism in the Democratic Party.”

Mike Johnson just moved the goalposts because the rally was peaceful. Only the MAGA cult is allowed to use mean rhetoric.
