Multiple MAGA commentators noted an abundance of older people protesting Donald Trump at "No Kings" protests across the country, leading one ex-MSNBC host to call them out.
Tony Ortiz (Current Revolt) posted a video on X on Saturday, writing, "Currently at the No Kings protest in Carrollton, TX and it’s almost exclusively old white people."
That led to Sen. Ted Cruz sharing the video along with laughing emojis and the words, "Boomers gotta boom…."
Democratic activist Michelle Kinney replied to Cruz, writing, "You ok pumpkin?
MAGA commentator Benny Johnson separately posted video of the protests, writing, "I’ve seen dozens of videos and I’m convinced there’s not a single person under 50 at these 'No Kings' protests."
Brian Mistrot, a "politically homeless conservative," replied to Johnson, writing, "At least 80% here are under 50. But keep telling yourself that."
Ex-MSNBC voice Mehdi Hasan noticed the pattern, writing on X, "Republicans are now complaining about old white people."
"Now I’ve seen everything lol," he added on Saturday. |
