QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you agree with the ‘No Kings’ protesters?
Matthew Sanders
Protests took place in multiple Mid-Missouri cities on Saturday to coincide with a military parade held on President Donald Trump’s birthday.
“No Kings” protests were held nationwide and in local cities including Columbia, Jefferson City, Boonville and Fayette. The events drew crowds with signs bearing anti-Trump slogans. In Columbia, hundreds chanted and marched in downtown.
The protests were organized to oppose what Trump’s opponents see as his authoritarian actions, symbolized by the military parade. The president’s backers say those concerns are overblown.
