Thousands of New Yorkers turned out on Saturday for the third nationwide No Kings protest. For a while at the No Kings rally in Park Slope, it seemed like the loudest person might be its lone counterprotester.
Wearing a black "Latinos For Trump" hoodie and a smile, a man who identified himself as Sam shouted praise for President Donald Trump in the faces of wave after wave of bemused No Kings protesters. Those protesters held homemade signs bearing puns opposing the president—one butterfly-decorated poster read, "The only orange monarch I want"—and politely ignored Sam as they made their way down Prospect Park West.
The Park Slope No Kings protest, just one of thousands of concurrent marches across the country, was peppered with signs held by volunteers that reminded protesters that they were at a "march, not a rally"; instructed them to stay off private property; and asked them to use their "inside voice" out of respect for their neighbors.
