Kamala Harris Raises Campaign Funds for Democrats at Home of Disney Exec
On Monday night, Vice President Kamala Harris and husband Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff headlined a fundraiser in the private Brentwood home of Walt Disney Television’s Chairman of Entertainment Dana Walden and producer husband Matt Walden.
The evening raised $1 million dollars for the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund, with money going to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and state party committees.
Harris’ trip to Los Angeles to raise cash for the Democrats reflected “the gradual return to normalcy of the Hollywood ATM,” in the words of Deadline Magazine.
Vacuuming up money from Hollywood elites appears to be the one role in which Harris does not publicly humiliate herself.
Tickets for the fundraiser were between $50,000 and $100,000. The bash was attended by thirty people, including Star Wars movie franchise wrecker J.J. Abrams, Glee producer Ryan Murphy and Marvel Comics Black Panther writer Reggie Hudlin.
Host Dana Walden made headlines last year for admitting during a Women in Focus panel discussion that she rejected “incredibly well-written scripts” for failing to meet “inclusion” standards. During the panel discussion, she proudly stated that she passed on one script merely because it was about a white family.
