Onerepublic's Ryan Tedder says the national “King No” protests on the 250th anniversary of the U.S. military are “superbummer”

Onerepublic singer and producer Ryan Tedder is not one of the celebrities who protested against the Trump administration during the thousands of “No Kings” protests across the United States on Saturday. In fact, the songwriter, who worked with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, brought to Instagram to protest, lamenting that they were getting rid of the celebrations that celebrated the U.S. Armed Forces.
“From the Revolutionary War (actually) to World War II/Korea, I have about 20 family members and grandparents. Apart from all the politics and gatherings and righteous indignation, it’s a superbummer, not the 250th anniversary of the U.S. military, all protesting in our protest… NME.

“I never had a card for political members on both sides and thought it was ridiculous 99% of the time at this point…” “But I want to thank all the active and retired Army service staff and those who gave their lives to protect our freedom… for protesting.”
Ted's comments were posted the same weekend, with President Trump overseeing his long-standing military parade on the streets of Washington, D.C., during which 6,000 soldiers marched with 128 tanks to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Army; unusual displays also coincided with Trump's 79th birthday.
In response to the Trump incident, an estimated three to five million Americans have flooded the streets in more than 2,100 “King-free” protests nationwide, often waving signs of blasphemy and listening to speeches condemning what critics call authoritarianism under Trump’s leadership.
Earlier this year, former public bassist Tim Myers announced the campaign for a California home seat held by longtime Republican Rep. Ken Calvert, who spoke about attempts to slow down Trump’s agenda. “The person in charge is just to make money,” he said in announcing the campaign. Trump, Musk and these clowns cut cancer research in Washington, health care and trade wars for veterans, making everything we buy more expensive. While giving billionaires tax cuts, they don't need to cut taxes.”
