Golf legend Phil Mickelson made a ‘No Kings Day’-themed social media post on Saturday, mocking the movement while subtly criticizing decisions made under former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Republicans have argued that this second mass « No Kings » protest event scheduled for Saturday is simply an effort to distract from the current government shutdown battle and appease their base.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told FOX Business he hoped that Democratic leaders who attended would be more willing to accept the GOP’s plan after the demonstrations were over — but he did not sound overly optimistic.
