No Kings protesters reject nonpartisan rules and openly push Democrat agenda

Clear Facts

• Protesters at official No Kings events in Alexandria, Virginia and Washington D.C. openly called for voters to support Democrats and reject President Trump.
• National organizers claimed the protests were nonpartisan to comply with nonprofit election laws, yet participants ignored these restrictions.
• The movement involves over 300 organizations with $2.5 billion in combined revenues, including major Democratic-aligned groups.

Participants at the October 17 demonstrations made clear their partisan intentions despite the official guidelines. One protester, environmental engineer Nayely Cruz Hernandez, declared that the goal was to “take the power away from Trump, from the Republicans.”

She explicitly urged voters to “win the House” and “win the Senate” across the country, directly contradicting the organizers’ written rules against endorsing candidates or promoting partisan outcomes.

“The No King … organizers can say whatever,” Hernandez said. “But I’m saying vote blue, because why are we here? Who’s in the House? Who’s in the Senate? Who is the President? It’s red, it’s Republicans, and it’s Trump.”

Signs at the events included calls for a “Big Beautiful BLUE WAVE” and demands that “TRUMP MUST GO NOW.” Another displayed the message “86 47,” which federal prosecutors have deemed an overt threat against President Trump.

Protester Nadine Seiler, who described herself as a “professional protester,” openly rejected the nonpartisan claim when questioned by Fox News Digital.

“No, no, the people who agree with Trump are not out here,” Seiler said. “So it’s never gonna be non-partisan if it’s a resistance to the fascist regime.”

“Yeah, so this is as partisan as you can get,” she concluded.

National spokesperson Eunic Epstein-Ortiz attempted to maintain the nonpartisan narrative, stating that the movement brings Americans together to “stand up for democracy” and “reject authoritarianism.” However, she acknowledged that some partisan events were using the No Kings name.

The protest on South Washington Street was an official event advertised on the organizers’ website. Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin has openly discussed the movement’s electoral goals, stating that “Our candidates are quite good all around the country” while describing Republican candidates as “quite trash.”

These events reveal the true partisan nature of the No Kings movement, despite its leadership’s efforts to present a different image.
