Phil Mickelson takes swipe at Biden administration in post mocking ‘No Kings’ rallies

WASHINGTON, DC: Golf legend Phil Mickelson appeared to take a subtle jab at former President Joe Biden and his administration while poking fun at the nationwide "No Kings" protests that took place on Saturday, October 18.

The six-time major champion, known for his outspoken conservative leanings, took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a post that blended humor with pointed criticism of the former president’s executive actions.

"On this special day as we all gather to fight against blanket auto pen pardons and executive orders, lawlessness, and stealing citizens’ resources for illegal non-citizens, I believe it has worked!! That is no longer happening so great job everyone," Mickelson wrote, referencing Biden’s frequent use of autopen.

The "No Kings" rallies were billed as a show of resistance against President Donald Trump and his policies. Mickelson has long been a visible supporter of Trump, frequently praising his policies and leadership style. 

Thousands gather nationwide for 'No Kings' demonstrations,

Millions gathered across the country on Saturday for the latest round of "No Kings" demonstrations, the second such event in recent months. Crowds filled Times Square in New York City, the National Mall in Washington, DC, and key city centers including Atlanta, Carrollton, Charlotte, and Arlington. Similar protests were reported outside the US Embassy in London.

While participants said the movement symbolized opposition to Trump’s political influence, several conservative commentators argued that the rallies were misguided and politically orchestrated.

In the state of Virginia, Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin deployed the National Guard as a precautionary measure, citing potential disruptions. Despite fears of unrest, demonstrations remained largely peaceful through the afternoon.

Republicans dismiss protests as political theater

Republican leaders, meanwhile, criticized the timing of the mass rallies, claiming they were intended to divert attention from the ongoing government funding standoff in Congress.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told FOX Business that he hoped Democrats attending the rallies would be “more willing to accept the GOP’s plan” once the protests concluded — though he admitted he was “not overly optimistic.”

The Louisiana Republican also labeled the demonstrations "Hate America" rallies, claiming that the participants were members of Antifa and were supporters of Hamas.
