Infuriating. Millions marched in events held in cities and towns across America, including an estimated 80,000 in Philadelphia. But more must be done to turn a one-day event into a sustained movement. In fact, while millions of average citizens spent the day fighting for democracy at the No Kings protests, many Democratic leaders including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and former presidential candidate Kamala Harris were in the Hamptons for the wedding of billionaire donor George Soros son, Alex, and Huma Abedin, the former political aide to Hillary Clinton. The lavish affair which featured truffle agnolotti, American Wagyu bavette, and grilled prawns underscored how the Democrats remain out of touch with average Americans. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/editorials/no-kings-day-protests-democrats-soros-trump-parade-20250617.html
