Thousands of “No Kings” rallies were carried out nationwide on Saturday in protest of President Trump and his policies.
Some defiant Democrats have embraced this weekend’s protests, while GOP lawmakers have bashed the protests as “hate America” demonstrations.
“Showing up to express dissent against an out-of-control administration, that’s as American as motherhood, baseball and apple pie,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Friday.
Saturday’s protests follow a series of June marches that coincided with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary military parade in Washington, D.C., which also happened to be Trump’s 79th birthday.
The rallies have taken place amidst the government shutdown as well federal troop deployments across the country.
