As Anyone Could Have Predicted, Fox News Slams the “No Kings” Participants

Fox News host Jesse Watters has slammed No Kings protesters as ignorant trend-chasers who had “no idea why they’re there” — after admitting that his own mother was among their ranks.

Here’s a question: Out of the ~7 million participants, does it ring true that these people fail to understand what the phrase “No Kings” means?

I think the average eight- or nine-year-old has learned in school what the American Revolution was all about.  The colonists were sick of being ruled by–that’s right–a king.

Most Americans don’t want a president who, like a king, is above the law, especially one who:

• Pardons violent criminals who happen to support him.

• Illegally gathers power into the executive branch by diminishing the power of the legislative and judiciary branches.

• Uses the Justice Department to punish his enemies.

• Appoints completely unqualified people to cabinet positions.

• Destroys our country’s efforts to clean up our energy and transportation sectors while supporting megadonors in fossil fuels.

• Dismantles all aspects of the federal government that provide help to the common American.

• Kick tens of millions of American citizens off healthcare.

• Jeopardize all Americans’ health and wellbeing by doing violence to government departments that study disease, research cancer, administer vaccines, etc.

It’s easy to see why Trump’s approval is tanking; Americans have lost their taste for an authoritarian, especially this conman.  It’s as simple as that.
