House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was mocked for his defense of President Donald Trump’s social media attack against those protesting his administration.

On Saturday, Trump posted what appeared to be an AI-generated video of him flying a fighter jet over the United States while dumping feces on “No Kings” protesters. During a press conference on Monday, Johnson was asked what message Trump intended to send with that video.

Johnson brushed off the video as “satire,” just moments after he accused “No Kings” protesters of calling for the death of politicians they disagreed with.

The protests were largely peaceful, with law enforcement reporting no significant incidents.
