They're trying to incite violence that's not funny. You don't mock a president who has already had two failed assassination attempts on his life. This is not a game."
"If you somehow missed it, the president, late on Saturday night, posted a 19-second clip of him bombing New York City protestors with a bunch of wet excrement to the sound of Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins, the theme song from Top Gun, of course. Johnson then pointed to a picture of Trump hanging in effigy at one of the No Kings rallies over the weekend, saying it was a prime example of protestors wanting to kill Trump."

Trump labeled nationwide protesters "whacked-out losers" and rejected the premise that he is a king.
