"The guy in Baltimore, the paper there said, we struggled to, our photographer to find a picture of black people in this march. I'm okay with that. I didn't go and I feel like, well, you talk. Well, we had a meeting, Steele joked as the audience laughed. And let's just say it didn't go too well for white folks."
"That is a distraction for me to go down that road because the No Kings piece is very different from another piece that that question I think gets to. And that is the relationship that broke with Democrats and the African-American community in the last cycle, particularly with Black women. And so I think the no-kings thing, I would set that aside because, you know, you look at the fact that in the first version of that, five million Americans showed up,"
The No Kings anti-Trump rallies drew more than seven million attendees nationwide and were reported to be predominantly white, with some newsrooms struggling to photograph Black participants. Attention to racial composition was characterized as a distraction from a broader turnout trend that rose from roughly five million in a prior version to over seven million in the latest events. Others suggested that concerns about surveillance and potential workplace identification could have made Black people less willing to attend publicly. Audience reactions included laughter at a remark that a prior meeting had not gone well for white participants.
