Culpeper man Joseph Checklick Jr. has been arrested after police say he drove through a "No Kings Day" protest Saturday and struck at least one person.

Protesters held signs that read, “No kings since 1776,” “Bad Things Happen When Good People Do Nothing,” “Stop the Parade Fund Medicaid,” “When cruelty becomes normal compassion looks radical” and “Make Orwell Fiction Again.”

The backlash comes after Walmart heiress Christy Walton reportedly paid for a 'No Kings,' ad, which has been perceived as being anti-Trump.

Retailer Walmart Inc WMT has been battling with the Donald Trump administration over tariffs and may have a new fight on its hands with Trump fans thanks to an heiress of the company's founding family.

The ad was placed by Christy Walton, heiress to the Walmart fortune. It clearly stated that the opinions expressed were hers alone.

"No Kings" protests against the Trump administration are taking place today in and around New York City as part of nationwide demonstrations. Fifth Avenue was closed to traffic from 42nd Street to 23rd Street in Manhattan as protesters marched from Bryant Park.
