## Reactions

[edit]

Conservative political commentator Benny Johnson said about the protests, "Democrats are dragging around an effigy of President Trump in prison clothes with a noose around his neck at an anti-DOGE protest in DC. Inciting violence. Arrest them. Sick and deranged people."[128]

### Republican officials

[edit]

When asked about the protests, Representative Pete Stauber said “For the past four years, we saw the Biden administration allow millions of illegal immigrants into this country unchecked and spend enormous amounts of money on things the American people didn’t need and couldn’t afford. Today, we are dealing with the ramifications of those terrible decisions. President Trump was elected by the American people to shake up the status quo and enact real change, and that is exactly what he is doing. I am glad to see the Trump administration reexamine our country’s spending, secure the border, and negotiate better deals with our nation’s trading partners. We are entering a new American era marked by strength and prosperity, and I think all of us in northern Minnesota stand to benefit from his leadership.”[129]

When asked about the protest, the president of the Utah State Senate, Stuart Adams said, "I think people are a little frustrated, but I also think President Trump's moving forward, and it's not going to be business as usual. And I think some of it's actually refreshing that we've got a president who will hit issues head on, deal with them and try to try to get things changed.... I think we need to give him some time to see the results of his action. I think to actually criticize something before the policies actually have a chance to have the effect that they’re trying to achieve, I think is probably premature.".[130]

South Carolina governor, Henry McMaster commented “I don’t know what happened in other states, but I mean they were protesting, they were well-behaved. That’s how you do it”.[131]

### Democratic officials

[edit]

Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen announced that he would attend the 50501 rally in Annapolis while also pledging that he would, "defend critical services to the American people under threat by the Trump-Musk Administration."[132]
