‘Oh here we go’: Adam Kinzinger rips Fox News after it tried to dig into the ‘No King’ protestors

He called the report for what it was- a reach.

Adam Kinzinger, a former GOP congressman from Illinois, just called out Fox News after the outlet published an article attempting to dig into the organization and funding behind the recent “No Kings” protests. Kinzinger posted a reaction on X, saying, “Oh here we go. Foxnews finds their outrage hook.”

The Fox News article claimed a massive network of around 500 groups, with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues, was behind the coordinated nationwide No Kings protests. It specifically highlighted participation from communist groups, alleging they were using the day to call for a “revolution.” 

According to the investigation, Indivisible, a Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, served as the lead coordinator for the flagship march in St. Paul, Minnesota. However, the article put a particular emphasis on identifying “key participation” by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations, funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and self-proclaimed communist who lives in China. 

Correlation and Causation are different

The report detailed how Singham has spent nearly a decade financing a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary socialist politics. The article stated these groups urged members to join the protests, with one in Minnesota even planning to bring a message of “revolution” to the flagship protest. 

The experts cited in the article explained how Singham’s own communist rhetoric matches the socialist revolutionary methods. To embed into a broader political struggle and radicalize from within. They used CodePink as an example to show how they use massive audiences and media attention to spread the messages and recruit activists. Evidently, CodePink also supported figures like Nicholas Maduro, the late Iranian Ayatollah, and President Xi Jinping.

However, many others pushed back against the Fox News article’s narrative. One X user, Matthew Skrzypczak, pointed out that discrediting major protests by focusing on their organizers is a historical tactic, citing examples from the Civil Rights marches, anti-Vietnam protests, and even the Boston Tea Party. The core argument here is that the validity of the cause, not just who organizes it, is what truly matters. 

When challenged about the idea of paid protestors, he noted that the Koch brothers funded the Tea Party, yet many on the right didn’t accept that as proof of paid actors. They urged the same standard to be applied. He then pointed out the purpose of the protest, to stand against the action of one man taken with power, not from merely being elected. Organizing protests, many argued, is simply how change happens in America.

The ‘No Kings’ movement began in June 2025 in response to the perceived authoritarianism and policies of the Trump Administration. It quickly grew to dominate the media as the primary protest against Trump. The march was held on 28th March, with the flagship in Minnesota, where it was headlined by Bruce Springsteen, who performed his tribute song for Renee Good and Alex Pretti, which, along with the Iran war, gave the protest a whole new meaning.
