ALEXANDRIA, Va. — On South Washington Street, 26-year-old environmental engineer Nayely Cruz Hernandez had a straightforward message for voters as she joined a phalanx of protesters lining the street for nationwide "No Kings" protests against President Donald Trump: "Vote blue."
"We got to take the power away from Trump, from the Republicans," Hernandez told Fox News Digital. "So we got to win the House, we got to win the Senate, not only in Virginia, but across the country."
Standing beside her boyfriend, Noah Schwarzott, 25, their 13-year-old Maltese-poodle, Maybellene, in her arms, Hernandez acknowledged that national No Kings organizers had their own rules for the protests to be "nonpartisan," but she wasn't following orders.
"The No King ... organizers can say whatever," she said. "But I'm saying vote blue, because why are we here? Who's in the House? Who's in the Senate? Who is the President? It's red, it's Republicans, and it's Trump."
A Fox News Digital investigation documented about 300 organizations with $2.5 billion in combined annual revenues behind the "No Kings" protest network, including Democratic-aligned advocacy groups, major labor unions and nonprofits including MoveOn, the American Federation of Teachers and the ACLU.
Cruz Hernandez ended by introducing Maybellene and declaring that the dog was "telling you to vote for Don Beyer," a Democratic member of Congress who represents Alexandria, Arlington and other Northern Virginia communities.

well they’re cute ...
>> well they’re cute ...
They’re AWFUL!
With that name he already has enough problems.
No pictures but wonder if he makes David Hogg look manly and the female has streaked multicolor scraggly hair and is 70 pounds overweight in her twenties.
I happened to pass a local rally. Probably a total of 50 losers on corners of the intersection (leftover aging 60’s hippies and socialism loving young ones).
Last year there were maybe 5-600. Wonder if they’re running out of energy on their tofu and celery juice diets.
Talk about leftovers.
Maybe they’re not getting bussed in with free lunches?
I love what DOGE has done.

When these leftist protesters become violent (and they will) and their violence is an imminent threat to the lives and health of law enforcement and innocent people, their protests should come to a quick and forceful end.
Yes. To paraphrase their old statement about war:
What if they gave a No Kings Rally and nobody came.
Soros and other phonies outnumber energetic protestors.
SEND IN COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS NOW!
GRANTIFA is back at it.
GRANTIFA is back at it.
I don't know why he made me think of this thing I had as a kid:
“So we got to win the House, we got to win the Senate,…”
How about, “We need to learn grammar?!”
“So we got to win the House, we got to win the Senate,…”
How about, “We need to learn grammar?!”
“So we got to win the House, we got to win the Senate,…”
How about, “We need to learn grammar?!”
Why are my replies triple posting (and more?)??
“No Kings” is kind of a stupid thing for a band of ANGRY, MAN HATING Handjobmaiden Tails baseball hat princesses to say. ROTFL.
