Republicans are ridiculing 'No Kings.' A striking new poll shows Americans aren't laughing [View all]

Republicans have spent many days trying to marginalize the massive anti-Trump “No Kings” rallies held across the country over the weekend.

They’ve argued the people involved were extremists and even predicted they would be violent (which turned out not to be true). They’ve claimed the protesters hate America. And they’ve argued that the “No Kings” message itself is nonsensical, given President Donald Trump is a democratically elected president who sometimes works with Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson added Monday night on Fox News that the protesters’ messages were “completely the opposite of what America was founded upon.”

New polling, though, reinforces how much the thrust of the “No Kings” message has resonated with much of the American public.
