Over the weekend, Washington D.C., and New York City were rocked by coordinated anti-Trump protests that openly featured support for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Video captured by Loomer Unleashed shows demonstrators outside the White House chanting “Allahu Akbar” while waving the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In New York City, similar demonstrations stretched across Manhattan from Union Square to Gracie Mansion, where the unrest coincided with an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack attempt. Flyers promoting both events reveal that the Palestinian Youth Movement, a group operating under nonprofit status in the United States, played a central role in organizing the protests outside the White House and in Union Square.
Footage obtained by Loomer Unleashed shows protesters outside the White House shouting “Allahu Akbar” while carrying Iranian regime flags and anti-Trump propaganda signs reading “Hands Off Iran,” “Trump Epstein,” and “Abolish ICE.”
Even more disturbing were chants of “No more Jews” shouted by individuals waving Iranian flags in front of the White House. The footage underscores the growing overlap between radical anti-Israel activism, anti-Trump agitation, and open displays of support for America’s adversaries.
Before the protest began, Loomer Unleashed captured organizers unloading stacks of professionally printed signs bearing the logo of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. The exact same signs appeared later that day in New York City during demonstrations in Manhattan.
At one point, protesters turned toward St. John’s Church, the historic church located across from the White House that was nearly burned down during the 2020 BLM riots. After chanting “Allahu Akbar,” demonstrators directed their chants toward the church and began shouting anti-American slogans including, “Iran is a lion, you are a mouse, we will drive Americans out.”
Tensions escalated when Loomer Unleashed D.C. correspondent Charles Downs confronted a protester wearing a Hezbollah headband, a keffiyeh covering his face, and a military-style backpack while waving the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
When Downs asked the man to explain the meaning of the slogan on his headband, the protester falsely claimed:
“It says Amak Mell Villa, which is an essential slogan for Islam.”
The claim was false. The phrase printed on the headband, “Labbaik ya Hussein,” translates to “At your service, O Hussein,” a Shia Islamic slogan invoking Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The phrase is widely used in demonstrations by Hezbollah supporters and other Iran-aligned militant groups as a declaration of loyalty and resistance.
The same protester then launched into a personal attack against President Trump, accusing him of being a pedophile and claiming, “I think he is someone who can’t control his sexual desires with little girls.”
Downs then asked whether the protester supported Congressman Thomas Massie, whose recent rhetoric on Iran mirrored some of the talking points being circulated among anti-Trump activists.
The protester replied that he “aligned” with Massie on certain issues.
Massie recently posted the following message on his official congressional X account on March 1:
“PSA: Bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away, any more than the Dow going above 50,000 will.”
Massie’s position has drawn public praise from Representative Ilhan Omar, who supported his effort to limit President Trump’s war powers. Omar even voted in favor of Massie’s resolution.
When confronted on Capitol Hill about his alignment with Omar, Massie struggled to explain why he was collaborating with one of Congress’s most outspoken critics of Israel and U.S. foreign policy. Omar, for her part, has refused to condemn the anti-Trump protesters who were openly waving Iranian regime flags outside the White House. Everytime we confront her about antisemitic comments or issues related to Islamic terrorism, she demurs. Every. Single. Time.
Meanwhile, New York City, now under the political influence of Marxist Islamist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a figure who has also received support from Omar, experienced its own wave of unrest on Saturday.
From roughly noon until 5 p.m. EST, Manhattan saw multiple anti-Trump demonstrations organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation alongside the Palestinian Youth Movement. The protests included a large demonstration in Union Square and the attempted ISIS-inspired attack outside Gracie Mansion. A bomb was lit and thrown towards anti-Muslim demonstrators. Everyone there was lucky it did not explode. It was built in the same style as the bomb that killed and maimed dozens at the Islamist terrorist attack on Boston Marathon runners and viewers several years ago.
Rather than addressing the growing extremism inside his city, Mayor Mamdani responded by lecturing New Yorkers about Islamophobia and white supremacy.
The scenes that unfolded this weekend in Washington D.C. and New York City should serve as a warning to the American public.
In the nation’s capital, protesters waved the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran outside the White House while chanting anti-American slogans. In New York City, left-wing activist groups mobilized crowds in the streets while the city dealt with the fallout of an ISIS-inspired attack attempt.
These coordinated, well-funded events happened in Democrat-controlled cities, organized by radical activist networks that increasingly operate in sync with anti-Trump political messaging.
As the country moves closer to November, the choice facing American voters is becoming clearer. One political movement continues to tolerate, excuse, and in many cases amplify the forces pushing radical anti-American ideology into the streets. The other is led by President Donald Trump and a Republican coalition determined to confront those threats and defend the United States against both foreign adversaries and the radical movements aligned with them.
Soon, the American people will decide which direction the country takes.
