No Kings Protests Spark All Across The U.S.

Thousands of anti-Trump protesters have gathered together across dozens of U.S. cities to protest the Trump administration.

The protests are being called the “No King” protests and are being held in Washington D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Arlington, Chicago, and many more cities.

Here are some videos of some of the protests:

Fox News provided more details on the demonstrations being held across the United States:

Millions of people are expected to gather across thousands of locations in the United States on Saturday for a nationwide “No Kings” protest challenging President Donald Trump and his GOP priorities.

Saturday’s demonstrations across the nation mark the second “No Kings” protest since Trump took office. Some Democratic members and candidates for Congress are expected to attend.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., did not provide a clear answer when asked if he would attend one of the rallies Saturday, telling reporters he hasn’t “finalized” his schedule. However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as well as House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., both told the press they would be in attendance Saturday.

Republicans have argued that this second mass “No Kings” protest event scheduled for Saturday is simply an effort to distract from the current government shutdown battle and appease their base. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told FOX Business he hoped that Democratic leaders who attended would be more willing to accept the GOP’s plan after the demonstrations were over — but he did not sound overly optimistic.

“It’ll be a collection of wild leftist policy priorities, and that’ll be on display for the whole country. After that’s over, I hope there’s a few Democrats over here who will come to their senses and return to governing the country,” Johnson said. “Right now, I don’t think — it’s my assumption and all of ours that they would not make that concession before that rally’s over because they don’t want to face the angry mob. I mean it’s sad, but that’s where we are.”

“My guess is if they don’t want a primary from the left, they’ll probably find a way to sneak [attending a rally] into their schedule,” Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, told Fox News Digital earlier this week. “The real question that’s going to be is, do they have the fortitude after Saturday to come back and open up the government?”

By around 10:30 a.m. ET, crowds had already begun gathering in New York City’s Times Square, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. and in Atlanta. By noon, significant crowds were seen in places like Carrollton, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina, Arlington, Virginia and the U.S. Embassy in London.

Bill Nye the Science Guy was in attendance at the Washington D.C. protest, per NBC News:

Bill Nye, known by his legions of fans as “Bill Nye the Science Guy,” compared President Trump to King George III — who ruled the United Kingdom during the loss of the American colonies — during an address to protesters in Washington, D.C.

The beloved children’s show host also slammed Trump and the members of his cabinet for failing to accept “basic scientific facts.” This presumably refers to a myriad of changes within the Department of Health and Human Services.

“They do not promote the progress of science. They suppress it, to the detriment of our health, well being, and international competitiveness,” he said. “It is a formula for failure.”

“No thrones! No crowns! No kings!” Nye added.
