Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson said the No Kings protesters “aren’t actually” opposed to oligarchy or authoritarianism if the tyrant behind it supports their beliefs.

The third nationwide No Kings protests were held on Saturday, where numerous lawmakers such as Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) delivered speeches. Benson said the protests are a “pressure valve” for the Democratic Party, and spotlighted the speech Sanders delivered where he rejected “authoritarianism” and “oligarchy.”
