Democrats who rallied at ‘No Kings’ protests applaud King Charles in Congress
Some Democratic lawmakers who previously participated in 'No Kings' protests criticizing perceived authoritarianism have drawn scrutiny for warmly welcoming King Charles III during his address to Congress. The contrast between their earlier anti-monarchy rhetoric and their reception of the British monarch has sparked criticism from Republican figures. The situation highlights a perceived inconsistency in messaging among certain Democrats and liberal activists.
- ▪Rep. Mike Collins criticized Sen. Jon Ossoff for speaking at a 'No Kings' protest and later applauding King Charles in Congress.
- ▪Rep. Ilhan Omar spoke at a 'No Kings' protest emphasizing allegiance to the Constitution, not a king.
- ▪Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer introduced the 'No Kings Act' in 2024 in response to a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
- ▪Rep. Don Beyer held a 'No Kings' protest in Virginia, framing it as a defense of free speech against Trump.
- ▪King Charles III received a standing ovation from many lawmakers, including some who supported anti-monarchy demonstrations.
