BREAKING: As the nation gears up for a significant wave of protests this weekend, Fox News host Jesse Watters has harshly criticized the Democratic Party’s effectiveness in mobilizing supporters. Just ahead of the upcoming No Kings protests, Watters expressed doubts about the Democrats’ ability to organize peaceful demonstrations.
During a segment on Friday, Watters stated, “The Democrats, every time they do gather together, it’s not mostly peaceful.” His comments come in the wake of the anticipated protests, which aim to challenge the policies of President Donald Trump and his administration’s perceived authoritarian approach. The No Kings rallies are set to unfold across the country on Saturday, October 7, 2023, with organizers expecting 2,500 protests—an increase of 500 rallies compared to June.
Watters referenced previous protests, including the Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations and other gatherings that resulted in violence. “Every time you guys get together, someone dies or there’s a lot of fires,” he remarked, drawing a stark contrast between what he termed “Democrat” protests and the historical Tea Party movement, which he depicted as a more legitimate grassroots effort.
The upcoming rallies are seen as a continuation of the protests that erupted in June, which drew an estimated 5 million people nationwide. Organizers have expressed that since those protests, Trump has intensified his “authoritarian agenda,” leading to increased ICE raids and targeting of political opponents.
In a related note, Republican Senator Roger Marshall has suggested that the No Kings protests could attract paid actors and political agitators. “We’ll have to get the National Guard out,” he stated, expressing skepticism about the potential for peaceful demonstrations.
While the No Kings movement seeks to galvanize anti-Trump sentiment, Watters remains unconvinced about their long-term impact. “I don’t know if this has legs,” he declared, questioning the sustainability of the protests.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on the protests this weekend. The outcomes of these gatherings could significantly influence the political landscape as the country approaches the next election cycle. Stay tuned for updates as the No Kings protests unfold across the nation.
