UPDATE: Fox News host Jesse Watters has launched a scathing critique of Democratic protests just as the nation braces for the anticipated No Kings rallies this weekend. As tensions rise, Watters expressed skepticism about the left’s ability to organize peaceful demonstrations, stating, “Every time they do gather together, it’s not mostly peaceful.”
The remarks come just ahead of an expected 2,500 anti-Trump rallies across the U.S. on Saturday, October 14, 2023, which marks a significant increase from June’s protests that saw over 5 million participants nationwide. Organizers of the No Kings movement claim the need for these protests is urgent, citing President Donald Trump‘s escalating authoritarian measures and increased ICE raids as key motivators.
Watters referenced past demonstrations, contrasting current Democratic gatherings with the historical Tea Party movement, which he labeled as “a legitimate protest.” He dismissed the upcoming protests as “a little more astroturfed,” suggesting that they lack the organic grassroots support seen in earlier movements.
The No Kings protests are poised to challenge the Trump administration’s actions and amplify voices against perceived injustices. Organizers emphasize that Trump has intensified his authoritarian agenda since the last demonstrations, prompting renewed calls for action.
Senator Roger Marshall has raised concerns about the potential for violence, claiming that the protests could attract “paid actors, agitators, Pro-Hamas, and Antifa members.” He cautioned that the National Guard may need to be deployed to ensure safety during the events, stating, “Hopefully it’ll be peaceful. I doubt it.”
As the No Kings rallies prepare to unfold, many are questioning the potential impact of these protests. Watters himself remarked, “I don’t know if this has legs,” casting doubt on the effectiveness of the movement.
With emotions running high and public sentiment divided, the nation watches closely as organizers prepare to take to the streets. The outcome of these protests may shape the political landscape in the coming months, making it crucial for citizens to stay informed and engaged.
Stay tuned for live updates as the situation develops throughout the day.
