WASHINGTON — Thousands gathered in the nation’s capital on Saturday, rallying and repeating one refrain: “No kings.”

They joined thousands of other gatherings around the country organized by Democratic groups and activists to protest President Donald Trump and his administration with a second round of “No Kings” rallies following an initial nationwide day of protest in June.

While many protesters spoke to NBC News about their dissatisfaction with Trump, a plethora of left-leaning and liberal protesters also made one more thing clear: They’re not happy with their Democratic leaders, either.

“I don’t have a lot of faith in the Democrats right now,” Alex, a construction worker who traveled to Washington from northern Virginia on Saturday and declined to provide his last name, told NBC News. “They don’t have — they don’t seem to have a lot of spine or a single message.

Oh my, the "construction" worker took the DC metro to get to the "protest".

I guess Alex didn't like what he was paid to "protest".

Pure astroturf, by the radical liberal socialist democrats.

These are the people most normal people ignore and shun. Complain about everything and nothing is good to them.

Not worth your time or effort...

One has to admit the protests were effective. The last I heard, we don’t have a king.

There should have been a “No Queens” protest when the DemonKKKrats crowned Kamala Harris their candidate for president.

RE: These people are “unhappy” with everything.

I saw Booker on a clip today smiling at a rally.

That should never, ever happen.
