David Muir's ABC show halted in major blow to Donald Trump amid huge host shakeup
ABC World News Tonight was interrupted for a breaking news announcement in a huge set back for President Donald Trump as Mary Bruce stepped in for the show's usual hosts
It was a jammed packed show for ABC World News Tonight on Sunday as Mary Bruce stood in for David Muir's usual weekend replacement Linsey Davis.
Things were going smoothly until Mary halted the show to deliver a "breaking news" announcment on the No Kings protests that were attended by millions all over the nation, including the likes of A-list celebs like Pedro Pascal.
Speaking directly to the camera, Mary began, "Now to the No Kings protests, millions of Americans from New York to Georgia to Texas and California and many other states and cities in between, taking to the streets to protest the Trump administration's policies," before pointing out, "It may be the largest one day protests in the US in more than 50 years."
Mary concluded her part of the segment by passing on to her colleauge Andrew Dymburt, who had the latest on all the drama going down with the protests.
As clips played of the rallys happening all over the nation, Andrew explained, "Tonight, President Trump mocking the millions of Americans who took to the streets in peaceful protest on Saturday and what has been described as one of the largest single day demonstrations in US history."
He was refering to the AI generated video Trump's team shared, which showed the president wearing a crown while flying a military jet over American cities and dumping feces onto "No Kings" protesters. The reporter continued, "An estimated seven million people gathered across some 2700 no kings rallies in cities from coast to coast."
A clip of the breaking news segment was shared to the long-running news programs Instagram account, along with the caption, "Activists and advocacy groups staged a second round of “No Kings” protests across the country in response to what they call abuse of power by Pres. Trump and his admin., including his immigration crackdown and the sending of troops into American cities. @dym_stagram reports."
Fans were quick to dish their thoughts on the developing news story and ABC's coverage of it, like one user who pointed out, "Weird how they left the part of the video off where Trump dumps sewage all over the protestors below."
A second person however gushed, "So proud of our country yesterday…... So happy to see people waking up to what this man is really about…God speed to us all."
"Yes, let’s all unite against Trump and fascism!!!" someone else declared followed by several clapping hand emojis, with a fouth adding, "What an accomplishment and we still have no kings in this country. Good job everyone."
