Summary
Democrats who recently participated in “No Kings” protests were criticized for welcoming King Charles III to Congress with a royal welcome. The contrast between their anti-monarchy rhetoric and their warm reception of the British monarch was highlighted by Republicans. Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., called out Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., for hypocrisy, saying he cheered Charles after speaking at a “No Kings” protest. Other Democrats, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, were also accused of hypocrisy for their warm welcome of the king. The “No Kings” movement has been criticized for its perceived hypocrisy and lack of consistency.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Democrats who rallied against kings now welcome one with open arms. The “No Kings” crowd cheers for King Charles III. Rep. Don Beyer and Sen. Jon Ossoff, who spoke at “No Kings” protests, now smile and clap for the British monarch. The contrast is striking, but not surprising. The ritual of welcoming a king is too familiar to be disrupted by a little thing like consistency.
It’s just another day in the performance of politics, where words are cheap and actions are louder.
