A significant event set to be hosted by First Lady Melania Trump had to be rescheduled after it emerged that leftists had planned a major protest that could disrupt it.
According to Newsweek, Melania Trump’s office announced that its 2025 Spring Garden Tours event was rescheduled out of an abundance of caution.
The first lady’s office noted the importance of keeping guests safe from a nearby “Hands Off” protest.
The report revealed that U.S. Secret Service and the National Park Service officials are working to accommodate all ticket holders.
It was noted that the first lady is no longer expected to attend the Spring Garden Tours.
The “Hands Off!” protest, which was scheduled to unfold across multiple cities, is a George Soros-funded coalition of groups, individuals, and organizations.
The protesters describe themselves as “pro-Democracy” and “pro-worker.”
Those involved in the protests are apparently angry at the efforts of President Donald Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer money.
The protesters claim Musk and President Trump are engaging in an “illegal power grab” equating to “a crisis we must stop.”
Newsweek noted:
“Hands Off! is meant literally in most instances, encouraging Americans to peacefully revolt against the gutting of services, price hikes and attempts to slash programs like Medicaid and Social Security.”
The event that was interrupted is a longstanding tradition at the White House.
It began in the 1970s when First Lady Pat Nixon opened the gardens to the public, and it has grown in popularity since then.
The outlet added:
“Tickets issued for Saturday’s White House Spring Garden Tour will now be honored on Sunday between 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., regardless of the originally assigned time slot.
“Those already holding tickets for Sunday should still arrive at scheduled times.”
From the Office of the First Lady:
