You may know Batya Ungar Sargon from her many media appearances. She is the opinion editor of Newsweek and is known for being a former liberal who supports Trump.
During a recent appearance on CNN she absolutely skewered the ‘No Kings’ protests with utter perfection.
She points out that the ‘No Kings’ protests were actually anti-democracy, considering that Trump was democratically elected, won all of the swing states, and the popular vote and is carrying out the agenda he campaigned on for months.

They’re going to stop inviting Batya Ungar-Sargon onto CNN for numerous reasons, though the most likely one is that, like Scott Jennings, she wrecks Democratic Party narratives.

Watch the entire clip below, this is great:
“White boomers have the right to have a mass therapy session about the fact that Donald Trump won, but to call it a No Kings protest, to act like he is a king is so utterly preposterous.

That is just such a perfect breakdown of the protests and their absurdity. As Greg Gutfeld recently pointed out, the No Kings protests were an imaginary solution to an imaginary problem.
America already doesn’t have kings. Most Americans celebrate that fact by observing July 4th, our Independence Day. The left never even seemed to take that into account.
