Confrontations and Violence at the Nationwide No Kings Protests

Showing 9 No Kings Protest videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

This topic covers the No Kings protests held across major American cities and the confrontations, and in some cases violence, that resulted. Independent journalist Nick Shirley documented being followed and verbally confronted by demonstrators at New York City's Union Square No Kings rally after being identified as a Trump supporter, capturing both hostile exchanges and moments of more civil debate over immigration enforcement. Isabel Brown and Savanah Hernandez separately reported witnessing demonstrators openly discussing or celebrating political violence at various No Kings gatherings, including footage of a Chicago public school teacher mocking Charlie Kirk's assassination that drew widespread conservative criticism. In a serious escalation, a shooting at a Salt Lake City No Kings rally left one bystander dead, while separate incidents in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle saw drivers ramming vehicles through protesters blocking roadways at related anti-ICE demonstrations. Brandon Tatum and other commentators disputed the protests' portrayed scale, accusing some media coverage of using older footage from unrelated events, while journalist Nate Freedman argued alongside Charlie Kirk that a significant share of demonstrators attend such protests professionally and repeatedly rather than as spontaneous grassroots participants. Additional videos cover unrelated firsthand accounts from individuals present during Kirk's assassination at Utah Valley University.
