A Fox News investigation links the “No Kings” protests to George Soros, and traces the $3 billion operation back to two billionaires

A Fox News investigation has found that the nationwide “No Kings” protests, the third wave of such rallies since President Donald Trump returned to office, are backed by a “$3 billion budget” and run by hundreds of organizations. Investigative journalist Asra Nomani broke the story on Saturday, the same day the latest demonstrations were taking place across the country. She stated that what many call “grassroots” is actually “100% astroturf.”

Nomani’s report on Fox News identified around 500 organizations behind the protests and pointed to two billionaires as the key funders: George Soros and Neville Roy Singham. She said, “You have two tycoons who are trying to upend the United States as we know it, trying to stop the Trump administration at every turn and it’s so important to follow the money and the ideology behind these.” 

She urged Americans to take this “really seriously” because it represents “an industry that is trying to basically challenge the Trump administration at every turn for very partisan reasons.” According to a copy of the permit for the main march in St. Paul, Minnesota, Indivisible, a Democratic political advocacy organization that receives money from George Soros, is leading coordination for that protest. 

The socialist and communist networks behind the protests have deep financial backing and clear political goals

Singham has spent nearly a decade funding activist groups that promote revolutionary socialist politics. These include the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition, and CodePink. CodePink’s co-founder, Jodie Evans, is married to Singham. These organizations also work closely with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

On Friday evening, March 27, in Minneapolis, members of the Twin Cities chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation were seen packing red protest signs outside the Dream Shop. The signs read “NO KINGS. NO WAR.” with “PARTY FOR SOCIALISM AND LIBERATION” at the bottom, and were prepared for distribution at the St. Paul protest. 

Across the country, groups from the Singham network were openly discussing how to use the demonstrations to spread what they call revolutionary organizing. One message circulating within these networks explained “Why socialists should mobilize to the No Kings protests this weekend.”  It read, “It’s the time to go out and join the people, get out our revolutionary message in front of them and turn a day of protest into long-term gains for the people’s movement.” 

Singham’s own rhetoric reportedly describes the United States as “fascism” and promotes organizing strategies based on Mao Zedong’s “People’s War” doctrine, which calls for revolutionary movements to embed within broader political struggles and radicalize them from within.  Beyond the funding networks, the rallies also drew Hollywood figures.

Actor Robert De Niro spoke at the New York City rally, demanding that “corrupt” President Trump be removed. The Taxi Driver star said, “There have been other presidents who have tested the constitutional limits of their power, but none have been such an existential threat to our freedoms and security – NONE – except Trump.”  Meanwhile, Trump himself responded to the protests by calling them a joke and targeting Soros by name, revealing what many see as his real concern about the movement’s backing.

As protests continue to grow, other cities have also seen rising tensions around policing and federal authority, with Chicago’s mayor granting local police sweeping new powers that have already drawn sharp pushback from Trump’s immigration enforcement agents.
