Mark Ruffalo Slams Elon Musk, Mandy Patinkin Sings ‘Over the Rainbow’ in Yiddish at ‘Kamala-Con’

Mark Ruffalo, Mandy Patinkin, and more joined the 'Kamala-Con' #Heroes4Harris livestream to speak with "real-life superheroes" on Sunday.

With 57 days to the election and two days before the first presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, actors who portrayed fictional superheroes including Mark Ruffalo(who has portrayed Bruce Banner/Hulk in the MCU franchise since 2012), Mandy Patinkin(who played Inigo Montoya from Princess Bride), and more teamed up with “real-life superheroes.” Whistleblowers Alexander Vindman and Jessica Denson, as well as climate activist Bill McKibben, and more luminaries shared their true stories alongside the fictionalized heroes’ journeys and how this relates to the American story, a shared interconnectedness, and what’s at stake from the lens of the Democratic side as they fundraise for the Harris-Walz campaign. Co-hosted by commentator-comedian Baratunde Thurston and actor Sean Astin (aka Samwise Gamgee in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which he quoted during the event), the livestream also featured guests beyond Hollywood, which included Reps. Adam Schiff and Justin Jones, Native Organizers Alliance’s Judith LeBlanc, and former Capitol police Sgt. “This is a song that I love singing because it was written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, and it was to honor their immigrant parents who came to this country for a new beginning,” he explained before launching into a moving rendition of “Over the Rainbow” in English and Yiddish.
