Malia Obama joins Dakota Access pipeline protest at Sundance

Looks like the Obamas aren’t done with politics. The 18-year-old daughter of recent President Obama was praised by fellow protester, Shailene Woodley, who also attended the event at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

“It was amazing to see Malia,” the actress told Democracy Now.

“To witness a human being and a woman coming in to her own outside of her family and outside of the attachments that this country has on her, but someone who’s willing to participate in democracy because she chooses to,” Woodley said. “Because she recognizes, regardless of her last name, that if she doesn’t participate in democracy, there will be no world for her future children.”

Malia left her family’s Caribbean vacation to attend the festival, before starting her internship for producer Harvey Weinstein in February, according to the New York Daily News.

Woodley has been a mainstay at the protests, even getting arrested at one point.

I’d like to see someone try arresting Malia with her Secret Service detail standing there.

The proposed pipeline would cross a river near Native American land and opposition is concerned it could contaminate the drinking water and damage Native American cultural sites.

President Obama halted the project until an alternate route could be found. Earlier this week, President Trump signed an executive order allowing the construction to move forward as originally planned.

there will be no world for her future children

That assumes she will be "punished' with a baby.

I’m wondering, did these people get to the festival by bicycle or canoe? Or did they burn a whole lot of jet fuel and gasoline?

I'll always care about children, even those who are allowed to think that they're adults. It seems that Malia would have benefitted from a more hand-on kind of parenting in her later teens. It's not a racial thing....look at Miley Cyrus who had no grasp of all the advantages that weren't earned.

Malia is just out of HS. She's been in this environment since she was 10. She does not seem to have the judgement to be out there and be able to make responsible decisions. I can't imagine how she'll ever settle down to college after this "gap year" with too much freedom and not enough service to those less fortunate. It says a lot about the parents, doesn't it? I hope Sasha matures better....she always seemed to be the happier of the two.

Malia knows if she supports the barf-worthy celeb causes, combined with her last name, she’ll get to party with them. It must have already gone to her head. She’ll get exposed to all the best drugs...

I agree. I do not care what Malaria, Sushi, Buttcrack or Micheal are doing. I wish they would all just go away.

Seems to me Shailene Woodley has kinda porked out a bit based on some of the recent pictures I’ve seen of her.

Hypocrit, give up motorized transport and petrochemical lay raised food and grid electricity. Then tell us about oil pipelines.
