No Kings PROTESTS Turn VIOLENT—Body Count RISES!

While the Left was busy protesting President Trump’s supposed “tyranny,” a Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were assassinated by a man with “No Kings” flyers in his car—the irony of violent extremism hiding behind calls for “democracy” couldn’t be more stark.

At a Glance

• The nationwide “No Kings” protests against President Trump coincided with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
• In a horrific act of political violence, Minnesota Democratic State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated.
• The suspect allegedly had “No Kings” protest flyers in his car, linking the murder to the anti-Trump movement.
• The White House has slammed the protests as an “utter failure with minuscule attendance.”
• Several other violent incidents marred the supposedly “peaceful” demonstrations nationwide.

Deadly “Democracy” in Action

While the mainstream media works overtime to paint the nationwide “No Kings” protests as a peaceful display, the body count tells a different story. Minnesota Democratic State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated, allegedly by a man named Vance Boelter, who had “No Kings” flyers in his car. Another Democratic lawmaker, State Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife were also shot and hospitalized in the attack.

So severe was the violence that organizers were forced to cancel all remaining “No Kings” events in Minnesota, issuing a statement “out of an abundance of caution and in adherence to guidance from Governor Walz.”

The Military Parade That Triggered the Left

What sparked this outrage? President Trump had the audacity to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary with a military parade. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung rightly called out the opposition in a report from Fox News. “It is sad Democrats and liberals would rather support criminals and illegals instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of our great U.S. Army and Flag Day,” he said.

The “No Kings” coalition, which includes groups like MoveOn and the ACLU, claimed massive participation, but as usual with left-wing movements, their definition of “peaceful” proved highly selective. In Los Angeles and Portland, police were forced to use tear gas and other crowd-control measures to contain agitated demonstrators.

The Real Face of the “No Kings” Movement

The violence wasn’t limited to Minnesota. According to a report from The Western Journal, the Texas Capitol was evacuated due to credible threats against lawmakers. In Palm Springs, California, a man was arrested for threatening violence at a local rally. In Culpeper, Virginia, a man drove his vehicle into a crowd of protesters. “We take all threats to public safety seriously,” said Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills.

The “No Kings” Coalition’s statement that “Americans stood in peaceful unity” rings particularly hollow when you consider the bloodshed that accompanied their demonstrations.

A Tale of Two Americas

What we witnessed this weekend was a stark illustration of the divide in our country. On one side, Americans celebrated the proud 250-year history of our military. On the other hand, protesters raged against imaginary tyranny while real violence erupted in their wake. When confronted with the “king” accusations, President Trump bluntly said, “I don’t feel like a king. I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.” That’s the reality—a president trying to govern while facing unprecedented opposition, not a monarch ruling by decree.
