Democrats rally at No Kings to protest Trump — but many say they're also unhappy with their own party
Democratic voters at the Washington No Kings rally voiced concerns about the Democratic Party's opposition to the Trump administration as they spoke out against it during a nationwide day of protest.
WASHINGTON — Thousands gathered in the nation’s capital on Saturday, rallying and repeating one refrain: “No kings.”
They joined thousands of other gatherings around the country organized by Democratic groups and activists to protest President Donald Trump and his administration with a second round of “No Kings” rallies following an initial nationwide day of protest in June.
While many protesters spoke to NBC News about their dissatisfaction with Trump, a plethora of left-leaning and liberal protesters also made one more thing clear: They’re not happy with their Democratic leaders, either.
“I don’t have a lot of faith in the Democrats right now,” Alex, a construction worker who traveled to Washington from northern Virginia on Saturday and declined to provide his last name, told NBC News. “They don’t have — they don’t seem to have a lot of spine or a single message. They’re just too disorganized to put up a good fight against this bulls---.”
“It pains me to say it, but Trump’s goons are f-----g organized compared to the Dems right now,” he added.
