“F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”
For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.
…
Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.
I read this morning that the Swift endorsement was not choreographed with the Harris/Walz champaign. They didn’t know it would happen until it did. Yet, they turned out and advertised a campaign friendship braclet within an hour. That is excellent digital marketing work.
Edited to add. They also sold out of them in an hour
I saw the look on Tim’s face as Rachael Maddow received a note on-air and read the tweet in total, live. Their absolute shit-eating grins showed total and genuine surprise. You could hear them internally screaming, “FUCKING JACKPOT!”
As to the bracelet, they knew she would endorse them at some point, I’m sure they had it ready for that eventuality.
Yeah, her war chest is pretty huge so a few thousand bracelets on the assumption Seift would eventually endorse seems pretty reasonable.
It took me a bit to find this video for anyone looking for it. The more I see interactions with Tim, really shows how wholesome of a person he is.
I love the implying the dems when they renew the office will do horrible things they have for some reason waited to do while they have office. Honestly it annoys me people take the what the canidate says they will do things with anything than a grain of salt when its clear the historical precidence has held. tax cuts for rich, deregulation, wars, outlaw abortion go republican. progressive taxes, corpo regulation and monopoly breakup, exiting wars, bodily autonomy go democrat. lambast fed to zero interest so stock market go burr republican, let fed set rates to keep a inflation at a low but not negative rate democrat. (for any repbulicans who don’t understand fed rates obama had them up then trump pushed them down to his term which is why we had the inflation we had which cooled down due to biden allowing for extreme fed action which further makes things bad as you want fed adjustments to be small but that can’t happen when a president spends his term pushing for them to be the opposite of where they should be.)
Megyn Kelly is nasty ~ Donald Trump
Megyn has that short term GOP memory. These people have no soul.
Also, fuck you too Megyn.
“Losing it” implies they ever had it
This woman has a TV show? She’s craaaazzzyyyy!
I must admit that I don’t get, why it’s such a big deal, that Taylor Swift supports Harris. But seeing the meltdown of the right wing grifters does put a smile on my face.
Megyn Kelly likes trump again now that NBC fired her?
Who?
;)
Why the hate They got the endorsment of quality stars like Kid rock, Kanye, Kevin sorbo, Hulk Hogan, Elon musk,
Al fine gentlemen /s
the richest man in the world “threatened to impregnate her” holy shit what bizarre world we are living in.
Yea jesus christ, that’s creepy af even for him.
I want to know which of his children he most wants to give up
I’m guessing he was trying to be funny. He so desperately wants to be seen as funny.
I hope swift just ignores him.
You just know that he has had a T-shirt printed with the “_ all the things!!!” meme, only captioned “Impregnate all the women”, for what he believes to be “epic lulz”
Hire a fucking comedian and hide him in a dungeon then or something. I don’t get why people with access to infinite resources don’t use them. With this degree of status why not have a social media proof reader? With this kind of money I’d be tempted to hire a dedicated butt wiper for Christ’s sake.
What I don’t understand is why so many people are pretending the breeding fetish dude is joking.
rich people who spend all their time talking to yes men will never have a connection to what makes things funny
That actually is weird.
It’s funny how Taylor Swift mattered when Trump faked her endorsement.
I’m sure MAGAts are having to do mental jumping jacks from approving of a fake endorsement for Trump to now saying that her endorsement for Harris doesn’t really matter and that she’s a nobody. The whole thing is dumb either way, but if a pop star’s endorsement is what it takes to hold off the fascists for at least 4 more years, then so be it.
If this is the leverage celebrities can do imagine if they would endorse third parties
Why would anyone do that?
Uh because they have freedom of speech and can think whatever they want
For example if i were a celebrity i would do that to support a third party that would offer a valid solution to the end of the genocide in gaza
That’s fair, but Harris is already better on that front than Biden. There just aren’t enough Americans in favor of a good solution.
Harris at least might bend to public outcry, if we can get more people on our side.
Instead of hoping that the vice president of a party supporting a genocide bend to public outcry you could agree that a celebrity endorsing a third party would actually be a good thing.
Celebrities do express support for third party candidates regularly
Haven’t see any, i guess the ones who do don’t make it to the front page
Let’s say Taylor Swift endorsed the Green Party, and then 500k swifties register to vote. Assume all of them vote for the Green Party.
Adding that to the Greens’ 2016 numbers, they would have gotten about 2M votes. In 2020, it’d be about 1M. Both are less than 2% of the total vote, so we’re not even talking about reaching the 5% threshold for federal funding of the next campaign.
Swift is one of the few with a large and highly devoted fanbase that could even come close to these numbers.
OTOH, 500k swifties voting for Democrats (not all of them will, but they will in the vast majority of cases) can matter a lot. It takes Harris from a close race where she might win the popular vote while losing the electoral college, and turning into a race with a comfortable lead where we don’t have to worry about that damn stupid technicality putting Trump in office.
I really doubt someone who takes a private jet multiple times a week is ever going to vote or endorse green. Anyway a bunch of celebrities like this endorsing third parties would probably be enough to break the narrative that third parties can’t win and they would get millions of votes.
we don’t have to worry
You don’t have to worry because you are not a kid living in gaza being bombed with US weapons
You don’t really get hypotheticals, do you?
The whataboutism on display in the comment you’re replying to is almost enough to make me block that person.
You know the world is fcked up when an election is drived by a Singer support
Trump threatened her for her endorsement. Anyone who thinks he has any redeeming qualities is beyond redemption.
