Bethesda protesters head to Hands Off! demonstration in D.C.
Protesters wrapped in Canadian and Ukrainian flags filed into Montgomery County Metro stations this morning. They were heading to the Hands Off! demonstration in Washington, D.C., where supporters are expecting 20,000 attendees. The protests are criticizing President Donald Trump, and the DOGE government waste initiative spearheaded by Elon Musk. Montgomery County Congressman Jamie Raskin and Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar are on the speaking list.
The event is sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign, the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Federation of Government Employees, Planned Parenthood, and the George Soros-funded Indivisible. A livestream of the event will be available on YouTube beginning at 12:00 PM today, April 5, 2025.

That’s not anywhere near the Bethesda station. That’s in DC. Prep the street signs in the background.
Every flag but our flag.
Raskin, Takoma Park's worst.
Trump ruins everything he touches, but we already knew that. This is year 5 of what is widely considered to be the worst presidency in American history, after all. It'd be nice if people actually got out and voted to stop Republicans BEFORE things go to crap instead of only being galvanized afterwards.
If they interrupt my SocSec checks, there WILL be hell to pay!!!!!!!
If Raskin is TP’s worst then TP must be full of super smart accomplished funny patriots
You clearly aren't here, liar.
9:34 - Off camera, they set Old Glory on fire.
10:40 is deaf dumb and blind as the last 4-years of Brandon was catastrophic an order of magnitude greater than any previous administration. The left can't even condemn MS13 gang members. Trump is saving even losers like Raskin who if left to decide things would turn MD into a 3rd world hellhole.
You were making a supreme effort to sound objective but then you took a sharp right turn into Crazytown when the Soros Derangement Syndrome kicked in.
I am all for getting rid of the deep state. Who was running the GOV the past 4 years. It wasn't Joe. Who writes these humongous bills that no one CAN read.
Some one has to take on the Military industrial complex.
I long for the Biden era every single day.
Yes, the last 4 years were sooooo bad. They were "sleepy!" Can you imagine a president doing absolute boring crap like focusing on infrastructure and clean energy and prescription costs? Who needs any of that? What I want is to take over Greenland and crash the global economy. THAT makes good TV and obviously that's what really matters!
P.S. You care about gang membership? Trump oversaw the largest increase in violent crime in over a century. Under Biden violent crime hit a 50 year low. Maybe if you educate yourself you'll realize you supported "Brandon" all along.
Trump is running the country like a business; i.e. strip mining it for parts and then declaring bankruptcy.
Paid anti-Trump protests are hilarious as his poll numbers improve. Liberals are in for a tough 4-years as America becomes great again!
We used to care about the Constitution. Now you’re complaining about a couple flags.
Who’s living in a bubble now?

7:25 - That's true. We did care about the US Constitution and it was followed until that walking fossil, Joe Biden, came along.
It was literally millions of protesters across hundreds of cities and you think they're paid? This isn't a Musk rally, guy. People aren't there for an oversized check. It just so happens some people still care about this country.
Smoking Crack must make things look different. Brandon spent his time during Obama enriching himself and the last four years stepping on the gas of grift for his entire family all while essentially open borders, no cash bail policies, DEI and allowing twisted sex education into elementary schools.
Trump is now the true representative of the working class as the democrats are the party of special interests while grifting the US taxpayers for themselves. Take a look at congressional wealth before and after holding office along with people like Raskin's wife and her transition into a cushy position after having pushed favorable policy as a government employee towards that same company that she works for now.
I hate to be a nitpicker but dragging a flag on the ground is disrespectful.
So these people see the millions - billions- wasted from our treasury - and want more of it? I don't get it.
I could list all the 501c3's behind these protests. I realize this is way above your pay grade but geo location analysis in Boston alone listed just over 7,900 individual cell phones, (protesters claimed 30K), of which over 90% of those same cell phones were in the exact same places during some Harris rallies and other protests around the country.
I'm sure that all those antifa-type losers can afford to fly around to every protest at a moments notice. That's why the left can't stand the defunding of unaudited NGO's. There's a new sheriff in town so fake stats and wishful leftist thinking is slightly less valuable than used toilet paper.
What’s with the large flags supporting middle eastern entities murdering and taking Americans and Israelis hostage?
Indeed, and they all seem to gravitate toward the County Council.
Look like a bunch of childish losers!
Agree! Now we have a bunch of crazed, Don the Con's TV hero's attempting to run our government. We are in the hands of drunks, methheads, and criminals, OH MY!
crying and screaming like a bunch of toddlers.
bunch of hypocrites
6:41 Probably a rough 8 to 12 years, if not forever. God bless the USA, George Will, where are you these days? Who?
We should give them all pacifiers !
As a former democrat, they are embarrassing to watch...I hope I never looked and acted like them!
While fiddling, Nero never had a Republican string section.
Where were you the last 4 years? Ignorance and apathy are no way to go through life.
