Bill Nye warned No Kings protesters they are facing a possible “end of our republic” thanks to President Donald Trump and his “group of confederates.”

Nye was one of the speakers at a Washington, D.C. No Kings rally. The former host of the educational series Bill Nye the Science Guy received big applause from the crowd when he was introduced at the anti-Trump event, and he went on to accuse the current administration of not accepting “scientific fact.”

“We are confronting the possible end to our republic,” Nye told the crowd.

He continued:

We are here to tell our lawmakers that what’s going on in our government is wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. This president and his associates cannot tolerate dissent. To them, our free speech is frightening. They are arresting people and denying due process in courts. They’ve tried to silence television hosts. They’re trying to fire our indict civil servants, prosecutors, judges, even their own cabinet members. But in this land, these sorts of actions are not new. In 1776, our ancestors had had enough.

Nye went on to compare Trump to King George III, whom the founding fathers fought against during the American Revolution.

He said:

Although it was conceived 249 years ago, the Declaration of Independence describes a train of abuses connected with an absolute authority, a king with absolute power. No thrones! No crowns! No kings@ Their king had refused to honor the law. Their king has refused to let lawmakers be elected. The king had made court judges dependent on his will. They cited the king sending, quote, swarms of officers to harass our people. Their language referred to, quote, cruelty and faithlessness scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous of ages. Their king was trying to, quote, render the military independent and superior to civil power. Our founders even censured King George for cutting off trade with all parts of the world. Did these actions sound familiar?

Nye claimed Trump and his administration “fail to accept scientific facts” and referred to some on the president’s side as “confederates” destroying American traditions.

He argued:

Contrary to Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, they do not promote the progress of science. They suppress it to the detriment of our health, well-being, and international competitiveness. It is a formula for failure. How did we get here? It hasn’t been one instance of abuse of the power of executive order by this president. It hasn’t been just one twist in a court ruling. Instead, it has been years in the making. Enabled by this President, a group of confederates has worked together to undo many of our traditions and understandings of fairness and of citizens’ rights. And they’ve done this through an odd legal tactic to overwhelm our court system with legal game after legal game.
