Live updates: Protesters gather nationwide against Trump at ‘No Kings’ rallies
Thousands of “No Kings” rallies are kicking off nationwide on Saturday against President Trump and his policies.
Defiant Democrats have embraced this weekend's protests, while GOP lawmakers bash the protests as "hate America" demonstrations.
“Showing up to express dissent against an out-of-control administration, that's as American as motherhood, baseball and apple pie,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Friday.
Saturday's protests follow a series of June marches that coincided with the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary military parade in Washington, D.C., which also happened to be Trump’s 79th birthday.
The rallies are taking place amidst the government shutdown as well federal troop deployments across the country.
