News Nation host Batya Ungar-Sargon mocked the weekend’s wave of “No Kings” protests, saying that what the people in the streets were actually protesting was not a king at all, but “American democracy” in practice.
Ungar-Sargon shared a clip of her appearance along with the caption referring to the mass protests — promoted and even joined by a number of elected Democrats — as “a mass therapy session” and arguing that President Donald Trump was simply doing what he’d been elected to do.
“I support white Boomers using their First Amendment rights to hold a mass therapy session about the fact that Trump won! But to call him a king is utterly preposterous. He won the popular vote. He is enacting the exact agenda he promised he would. They are actually protesting American democracy. The only appropriate response is to laugh!”

“I want to start by saying I totally support the protests,” Ungar-Sargon began. “I think this is a very important part of what it means to be an American, to raise up your voice in any form that you wish. We have these First Amendment rights and they are precious and dear. I also think that this was not indicative or representative even of the mainstream Democratic Party.”

“These protests were overwhelmingly white, they were overwhelmingly elderly, older people — again, white Boomers have the right to have a mass therapy session about the fact that Donald Trump won,” she continued. “But to call it a ‘No Kings’ protest, to act like he is a king, is so utterly preposterous. This is a man who won the popular vote, he won every swing state, he is a person who is enacting the exact agenda he promised he was going to enact while he was campaigning — and so what they are actually protesting is the absolute perfection of American democracy where a person campaigned on an agenda, won the popular vote, and is now enacting that agenda.”
“So it was actually a protest of democracy, all of which is to say the only way to greet such a preposterous proposition, calling this a ‘No Kings’ rally when it’s actually an anti-democracy rally, is to crap on it — I’m sorry — is to basically make fun of it,” she concluded.
