Malibu Rally Draws Celebs and Political Voices
Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice‑President Kamala Harris, stepped into a sprawling “No Kings” rally in Malibu, joining a wave of activists and celebrities united against the current administration’s policies.
A Star‑Studded Crowd
The protest drew a diverse mix of performers and political figures:
- Kathy Griffin – the outspoken comedian who has long opposed Trump, praised the turnout on Instagram.
- Sam Elliott, Kristen Johnston, and Nancy Lee Grahn – celebrated actors lending their voices.
- Elliott (likely referring to the actor), famed for “The Big Lebowski” and “A Star Is Born,” wore a shirt that read “Vote the bum out.”
Griffin’s Instagram post called the turnout “great” and urged people to stand up for their rights.
Focus on Key Issues
Signs across the rally highlighted:
- Immigration policy criticisms.
- The war in Iran and its implications for U.S. foreign policy.
Emhoff, who has been politically active since his wife’s 2024 campaign, used the platform to voice concerns about decisions he believed conflicted with democratic principles.
Other “No Kings” Events
The Malibu rally was part of a series of Southern California protests, with the largest expected in downtown Los Angeles. Additional events included:
- Studio City – featuring actors Annette Bening and Edward James Olmos.
- Bening displayed a humorous sign comparing Trump to Mary Poppins.
- Olmos marched beside an inverted American flag.
A New Home for the First Family
Beyond politics, Emhoff’s new Malibu residence has attracted attention. The 4,000‑square‑foot mansion boasts a heated pool and panoramic ocean views, costing over $8 million. It sits among other celebrity homes in the area.
Community and Protest
The rally’s atmosphere blended spirited protest with a sense of community, illustrating how public figures and everyday citizens can unite over shared concerns.
