“No Kings” protesters took to the streets this weekend across the U.S. and even across the pond in London, England, with the same bizarre antics.
In Atlanta, self-described “interdisciplinary artist, activist, educator, and DOGEWALKER” Jessica Blinkhorn shared a video of herself wearing a leather tube top and mask while people dressed up as President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance followed behind her on leashes.
Meanwhile, Jersey boy Bruce Springsteen cosplayed as a Midwesterner during a performance in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy headed west a day after the Senate broke for recess to join embattled late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on the streets of Los Angeles.
On Monday’s show, Megyn was joined by Stu Burguiere, host of Predictable with Stu, to discuss the absurd protests and what it reveals about the left.
St. Paul
Springsteen serenaded those gathered in St. Paul on Saturday with a performance of his new song about immigration enforcement in the North Star State called “Streets of Minnesota” – but not before pontificating about the “death and terror” brought by “federal troops.”
“This past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. Well, they picked the wrong city. The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis, of Minnesota, was an inspiration to the entire country,” Springsteen claimed while attempting his best Midwestern accent on the pronunciation of “Minnesota.”
“Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. This reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand,” he continued. “You gave us hope. You gave us courage, and for those who gave their lives, Renee Good, mother of three, brutally murdered. Alex Pretti, VA nurse, executed by ICE, shot in the back, and left to die in the street without even the decency of our lawless government investigating their deaths.”
Megyn accused Springsteen of pulling a Kamala Harris with the obvious affect. “I love how he even puts on the fake Midwestern accent. He’s from New Jersey. That’s not how New Jerseyans sound or talk,” she said. “Why do all these Dems use their fake accents when they go out to various neighborhoods to try to sound like they’re from the hood?”
She also said she won’t hold her breath for a song about 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman, who is from the tri-state area and was murdered by an illegal immigrant in Chicago earlier this month.
“Where is his song for Sheridan Gorman… who, by the way, is from closer to his real home than anybody in Minneapolis is,” Megyn asked. “He has time to go out there and pay homage to Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two agitators who inserted themselves willingly into a dangerous situation they never should have been involved in to begin with. But no words for Sheridan… The elite snobbery of it… How dare he forget her in the name of two agitators as he condemns the very men and women who are trying to keep the next Sheridan Gorman safe from illegals.”
Los Angeles
On the left coast, Kimmel, who is trying to clean up his much maligned ‘joke’ about newly sworn-in Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s background running his family’s plumbing business, made it a family affair at the No Kings protest in L.A.
The Jimmy Kimmel Live host was photographed alongside two of his children and his father. He was carrying a poster that said “Enough Already” and included an image of President Trump wearing a crown, while his old man was wearing a “Barack Obama” hat while holding a sign that read “Deport ICE.” Kimmel cheered the “great turnout” in an Instagram post.
But that wasn’t Kimmel’s only company. Murphy apparently got lost on his way back to Connecticut from D.C., posting a photo of himself with the late-night host on X with the caption: “Look who I ran into at the No Kings rally in Torrance, California.”
“What is Chris Murphy doing at a No Kings protest in California,” Megyn asked. “Get back to Connecticut and do your job. We have our own problems. He shouldn’t be out in California marching with the losers out there. We got plenty of losers of our own right here who need your help.”
Burguiere, however, implored Megyn to reconsider. “I grew up in Connecticut… I have tons of relatives that are still there. How dare you try to bring Chris Murphy back to that state one day earlier than he needs to,” he quipped. “Please, stay in California forever, Chris. You’re doing a great job out there. Don’t come back… Stay there forever. It’ll be great.”
New York City
And then there was Robert De Niro, who was fresh off of shedding a tear over President Trump with MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace, when he struggled to get through his prepared remarks at a press conference in New York City.
The 82 year old dropped an f-bomb and read from a piece of paper as he stumbled and stammered his way through accusing Congress and members of the Trump administration of being “bound to” the president over fears of “losing their own jobs” and “powers.”
“It’s diabolical. How can this be happening? Look at the power of the No Kings national uprising,” De Niro said before losing his place and having to re-read the sentence.
“Line,” Burguiere joked as the Oscar winner fumbled.
Megyn said the performance called to mind another bumbling Dem. “Okay, Karine Jean Pierre,” she quipped. “He had to read every word of that and still couldn’t spit it out. Isn’t he one of our most storied actors? He is able to memorize a few lines, or at least used to be able to… It is kind of sad, really.”
The Takeaway
From the Iran war to the economy the poll numbers heading into the November midterms are not in President Trump or the GOP’s favor at the moment. But Burguiere said demonstrations like the No Kings events offer a welcome reminder for Republicans.
“The biggest thing that Donald Trump has going for him is he has the most pathetic enemies politically possible,” he noted. “These people… [are] who we’re going against, and the American people can’t stand those people. Every time they’re facing the opportunity between going their way or any other way, they choose the other direction… So, the more ‘No Kings’ the better. Because if that is the face of what the opposition is, we’ve got… a real possibility of holding on.”
