The mainstream media attempted to establish a narrative that the third No Kings protest had the challenge of maintaining momentum.
No king has faced this challenge and surpassed it.
Organizers said that with 100 protests remaining, the estimated attendance was already more than 8 million people:
Organizers estimated before the protests that they could attract up to 9 million participants. The final estimate is not available, but it is likely that they met or exceeded this goal.

The bad news for Republicans and for the mainstream media that sold out to Trump is that No Kings continues to grow. The protest movement against this president and his party is growing.
Watch me talk about the No Kings protest:
A small correction is necessary. The No Kings protest is not the largest single-day political protest in U.S. history. Earth Day 1970 brought together 20 million protesters, making it the largest single-day political demonstration in the country’s history.
What No Kings has done is incredible, but the mainstream media is trying to shift the goalposts and label the movement a failure by redefining what it is. So let’s discuss the difference between a political movement and a protest movement.
The media also demonstrates a lack of understanding of the purpose of the No Kings protests.
