Chairman Joe Powers Slams ‘No Kings’ Protests as Political Theater: “Stop Being a Useful Idiot”

News

Warwick, RI: "The so-called "No Kings" protests sweeping the country aren't about democracy, they're about distraction.

Let's get something straight, we don't have kings in America. We have laws. We have checks and balances. And we have citizens who should know better than to be played like pawns by the political left.

These protests aren't spontaneous, they're stage-managed by national activist groups that thrive on outrage. It's not civic engagement, it's political theater dressed up as virtue.

Here's the real question: what if all these protestors and their well-funded sponsors put this much energy into helping the homeless, supporting veterans, or fixing our broken education system? America would be a better place overnight.

Instead, we've got people marching with pre-printed signs and pre-scripted outrage, believing they're part of a movement when in reality, they're just part of someone else's marketing campaign.

To everyone out there shouting into the wind, stop being a useful idiot. Think for yourself. Ask who benefits from your outrage. Then get to work solving real problems instead of posing for cameras.

We believe in freedom, responsibility, and results not slogans and stunts. As Ronald Reagan once said, "We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone."

It's time to stop shouting about imaginary kings and start helping real Americans."
