Fox News Digital’s investigation into the “No Kings” protests reveals that the events were professionally produced, with an estimated $250,000 spent on logistical expenses. The protests, which took place across the country, were sponsored by about 500 organizations with an estimated $3 billion in annual revenues. The events featured concert-level equipment, including a massive mobile stage, jumbo screens, and high-speed internet. The investigation also found that a former Obama and Biden administration strategist, Roger Fisk, took credit for fine-tuning the “art and science” of throwing the protest.
