‘No Kings’ protesters spurn organizers’ rules: ‘This is as partisan as you can get’

At official “No Kings” protests in Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington, DC, some demonstrators openly urged voters to support Democrats, despite organisers’ instructions to keep the events nonpartisan. Their remarks and signs highlighted a gap between the movement’s stated rules and the political messages displayed at events opposing President Donald Trump.

Organiser spokesperson Eunic Epstein-Ortiz said the movement was nonpartisan and peaceful, and argued that some partisan events using its name were not officially affiliated. The article says the Alexandria protest was listed on the official website, and cites a Fox News Digital investigation that identified about 300 organisations with combined annual revenues of $2.5 billion behind the protest network. The account also describes a protester in Washington who rejected the nonpartisan label.
