鲁迪·朱利安尼、迈克尔·拉帕波特及共和党议员借此揭露民主党人对英国君主的态度转变，民主党人曾为此饱受嘲讽

就在几周前还与自由派活动人士一起在全国范围内参与“反对君主”抗议的民主党人，如今却在国会及其他场合为英国国王查尔斯三世献上王室级别的欢迎，这一转变让他们饱受嘲讽。
查尔斯的国会演讲凸显了一个矛盾：民主党人此前的反君主言论和公开抗议，与他们对这位英国君主极尽喧闹的欢迎形成鲜明对比。
佐治亚州共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯批评了同州民主党参议员乔恩·奥索夫，称后者几周前刚在萨凡纳参加“反对君主”抗议，转头就为查尔斯欢呼。
“等等，这不就是那个几周前还在集会上大喊‘反对君主’的乔恩·奥索夫吗……他可以整天喊‘反对君主’，但国王一来，嘿，他立马就搞到了前排座位。”这位来自杰克逊的议员说道。

“我本来是去听真正的国王演讲的，”佛罗里达州共和党众议员格雷格·斯特鲁贝在查尔斯发表演讲后发表声明称，“有意思的是，‘反对君主’那帮人连影子都见不着。看来愤怒与否，全看说话的是谁？”
在3月29日明尼苏达州的一场“反对君主”抗议活动中，明尼阿波利斯的民主党众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔在佛蒙特州参议员伯尼·桑德斯主持的活动上发表讲话，告诉人群美国效忠的是“宪法，而非国王”。
就在前一天，弗吉尼亚州民主党众议员唐·拜尔在当地一场“反对君主”抗议活动中向媒体发言，称民众正在行使言论自由权抗议特朗普，并在其社交媒体主页上将这段视频配文“反对君主，现在不，永远不”。
参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默曾在2024年提出《反对君主法案》，以抗议最高法院作出的总统在任期间基于宪法职权行事享有绝对刑事豁免权的裁决。
“‘反对君主’抗议活动的组织者们起立鼓掌欢迎查尔斯国王，这剧本都编不出来，”前纽约市市长鲁迪·朱利安尼调侃道，当时电视台切出的查尔斯国会演讲画面显示，包括拜尔在内的多名持“反对君主”立场的民主党人正面带微笑鼓掌。
“反对君主”自称无领袖，但内部文件却道出截然不同的真相
“看看谁见到国王这么兴奋——‘反对君主’女士，”亲以色列的自由派演员迈克尔·拉帕波特调侃道，他还附上了奥马尔用手机给查尔斯拍照的咧嘴笑脸照片。
佛罗里达州参议员阿什利·穆迪也就王室访美一事揭露所谓的虚伪言行：
“我刚刚怎么看到国会里所有民主党人都站起来为真正的国王鼓掌？”她说道，并附上了福克斯新闻频道众议院会议厅直播的截图。
“‘反对君主’群体起立鼓掌欢迎查尔斯国王，”右翼X平台评论员“EndWokeness”写道。
“本世纪最大的造假大师，”评论员罗比·斯塔巴克补充道。
前弗吉尼亚州总检察长肯·库奇内利分享了另一段查尔斯演讲的备用镜头，将民主党人的立场概括为“‘反对君主’±1”。
特朗普本人也在“反对君主”议题上发表了看法：CBS记者诺拉·奥唐奈询问他有关希尔顿暗杀案嫌疑人科尔·艾伦在加州参加此类抗议活动的问题，特朗普随即回应。
特朗普回应“反对君主”抗议：“我不是国王，我拼命干活”
“反对君主？是啊……要是我是国王，才不会跟你打交道，”特朗普反驳道。
查尔斯启程返回伦敦后，代表前总统乔治·华盛顿长期居住地的民主党议员抨击特朗普对国王作出所谓的让步。
特朗普周五宣布，他同意了查尔斯的一项明显请求，取消对威士忌的贸易限制，以帮助苏格兰与肯塔基州的酒类企业开展合作——苏格兰酒厂会使用肯塔基州的用过的酒桶。
“现在我们居然要听从英国国王的指令了，”弗吉尼亚州参议院多数党领袖、来自芒特弗农的民主党人斯科特·萨罗维尔说道。
“乔治·华盛顿怕是要在墓里翻身了。”

Democrats who rallied at ‘No Kings’ protests applaud King Charles in Congress
Rudolph Giuliani, Michael Rapaport and GOP lawmakers highlighted the contrast as Democrats clapped for the British monarch
May 2, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
Democrats who rallied with liberal activists at nationwide “No Kings” protests just weeks ago were widely mocked for pivoting to offer the United Kingdom’s King Charles III a royal welcome in Congress and elsewhere.
Charles’ speech highlighted a contradiction between anti-monarchy rhetoric and public protests involving Democrats and the raucous welcome extended to the British monarch during his address to Congress.
Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., criticized Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., whom he said hypocritically cheered Charles several months after speaking at a “No Kings” protest in Savannah.
“Hold on a minute, wasn’t this the same Jon Ossoff who was just out there a few weeks ago hooting and hollering about ‘No Kings’ at his rally… He’ll shout ‘No Kings’ all day, but once the king comes around, man, he’s got him a front-row seat,” the Jackson lawmaker said.

“I was on my way to hear an actual King speak,” Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., said in a statement after Charles’ address. “Funny how the ‘No Kings’ crowd is nowhere to be found. Guess the outrage depends on who’s talking?”
At a March 29 “No Kings” protest in Minnesota, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minneapolis spoke at an event headlined by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, telling the crowd that the U.S. pledges allegiance to the “Constitution, not a King.”
The day prior, Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., spoke to the press at a “No Kings” protest in his area, saying that the crowd was exercising its freedom of speech against Trump while titling the clip on his social media page “No Kings, not now, not ever.”
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., authored the “No Kings Act” in 2024 in rebuke of the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents have absolute immunity from criminal prosecution stemming from actions taken under their constitutional authority while in office.
“‘No Kings’ protest leaders welcome KING CHARLES with a standing ovation; you can’t make this up,” quipped former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, as press cutaway shots of Charles’ address to Congress showed multiple ‘No Kings’ Democrats like Beyer smiling or clapping.

“Look who was elated to see the king – Ms. No Kings,” quipped liberal pro-Israel actor Michael Rapaport, who included photos of a grinning Omar taking photographs of Charles on her phone.
Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., also called out alleged hypocrisy from the royals’ trip:
“Why did I just watch every Democrat in Congress stand and clap for an actual King?” she said, featuring screenshots from Fox News Channel’s House chamber feed.
“‘No Kings’ crowd greets King Charles with a standing ovation,” added right-wing X commentator “EndWokeness.”
“Biggest bull**** artists of the century,” added commentator Robby Starbuck.
Former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli shared another clip from b-roll of Charles’ speech, characterizing Democrats’ position as “No Kings +/- 1.”
Trump himself weighed in on the “No Kings” aspect during an interview with CBS’ Norah O’Donnell after she asked him about Hilton assassination suspect Cole Allen attending such a protest in California.

“No Kings, yeah… If I was a king, I wouldn’t be dealing with you,” Trump retorted.
After Charles departed for London, the Democrat representing former President George Washington’s longtime home lambasted Trump for what he characterized as a concession to the king.
Trump announced Friday he agreed to an apparent request from Charles to remove trade restrictions on whiskey to help Scotland work with Kentucky’s liquor businesses, as the former utilizes the latter’s used barrels.
“Now we’re taking orders from the King of England,” said Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell, D-Mount Vernon.
“George Washington just rolled over.”
