Over the weekend, Doug Emhoff, husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, was spotted participating in a “No Kings” protest in Santa Monica, California. This event was part of a larger movement that spanned across the United States, with similar demonstrations taking place in major cities like Washington, D.C., and New York City.
In a post on X, Emhoff showed a photo of himself and his son, Cole Emhoff, at the “No Kings” protest.
Emhoff shared his involvement in the Santa Monica protest through a social media post simply captioned, “No Kings Santa Monica.” This indicates his alignment with the protest’s message, which has gained traction nationwide.
According to reports from Breitbart News’s Amy Furr, the Washington, D.C. protest featured participants in inflatable costumes, adding a unique visual element to the demonstration. These gatherings are part of a series of protests initially sparked in June, aimed at opposing former President Donald Trump’s military parade, which was intended to commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
Interestingly, during the initial wave of “No Kings” protests, demonstrators strategically avoided Washington, D.C. However, the recent events indicate a renewed vigor in taking their message directly to the nation’s capital, alongside other prominent urban centers across the country.
Emhoff’s post comes as “No Kings” protests took place across the United States in places such Washington, D.C., and New York City.
Breitbart News’s Amy Furr reported that at the “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., leftists dressed up in inflatable costumes.
During the “first round of the ‘No Kings’ protests” that occurred in June in protest of President Donald Trump’s parade to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, demonstrators avoided the District of Columbia:
When the first round of the “No Kings” protests happened, leftists avoided the nation’s capital. However, Saturday saw many of them show up on the National Mall in brightly-colored costumes.
One woman told the crowd, “If you are willing to be an inflatable dinosaur we need you! Who wants to be an inflatable dinosaur?”
Photos taken by Breitbart News showed protesters in costumes ranging from dinosaurs, bald eagles, frogs, peacocks, and lobsters.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) also posted photos of himself taking part in the “No Kings” protest in NYC.
“Today as millions of Americans rally across this country for No Kings Day: I proudly marched side-by-side with labor unions and so many more of our fellow citizens in NYC,” Schumer wrote in a post on X. “We have no dictators in America. And we won’t allow Trump to keep eroding our democracy.”
