Growing Pains actor Kirk Cameron has led hundreds of maskless Californians in a massive caroling event during a 'peaceful protest' against Governor Gavin Newsom's lockdown measures.
Cameron, 50, had been teaming up with Sing It Louder USA to do the demonstrations over the last two Sundays, voicing his frustration that Gov. Newsom has banned mass gatherings like caroling into the holiday season.
The latest took place in the parking lot of the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, California.
Footage shows hundreds of protesters singing to their heart's content. Many can be seen not wearing masks and in close proximity to each other. Carolers could be heard singing Jingle Bells and Angels We Have Heard on High.
The demonstrations comes as the state continues to be ravaged by the coronavirus.
Prior to the 'peaceful protest,' Cameron shared a post telling people to come out for the demonstration at the mall and telling others of how successful a previous event had gone.
'Have you ever sung Christmas Carols by candlelight at a time where your state governor has prohibited that in America,' he said in a video where he stood in front of an American flag hoisted onto a building. 'Well this is actually happening, you can't make this up.'
Sources in law enforcement explained to TMZ (https://www.tmz.com/2020/12/15/growing-pains-star-kirk-cameron-chistmas-carol-gathering/) that mall security did call the police, with officers from the Thousand Oaks PD responding to the scene.
Those sources added that the officers just told the carolers that it was important to wear masks. No one was arrested at the scene, despite orders from the governor.
Newsom has caught a lot of flack in recent weeks as a 'Recall Gavin 2020' campaign gains thousands of signatures.
On November 6, it was revealed that Governor Newsom, 53, dined indoors with 22 people at the upscale French Laundry restaurant in Yountville, the Napa Valley region of California.
This was just days after mandating only outdoor dining for the state's 40 million residents, with restrictions of the number of people and households that can sit together.
He has recently caught flack for shelling out $80 million for public health billboards relating to the Covid-19 pandemic while ignoring the needs of small businesses suffering due to shutdowns.
Newsom has shuttered schools across the state, while his four children attend an in-person private tuition.
His Plumpjack Winery in Napa Valley remains open for reservations and in person tasting despite statewide shutdown of restaurants.
