Trump cites female celebrity support for Harris as stinging him most; ‘She’ll look back and cringe’ | World news

Donald Trump focuses on one recommendation that he believes stings more than any other: that of Julia Roberts. Calling Fox & Friends on Saturday, Trump expressed frustration that Roberts narrated a pro-Harris ad designed to rally female supporters for his Democratic rival – even if that means doing so without the blessing of their husbands. “She’ll look back on that and cringe,” Trump noted, joking about her relationship advice. The Republican candidate stated that he was clearly “disappointed” with her support.

Donald Trump slams Julia Roberts

“I’m so disappointed in it Julia RobertsTrump said during his interview appearance after wrapping up one of his final campaign stops ahead of the Nov. 5 election. Referring to Roberts’ recent story about a Vote Common Good ad in support of Kamala Harris, a visibly disappointed Republican candidate noted, “She’ll look back on that and cringe.” “Did I really say that?” It doesn’t say much about her relationship, but I’m sure she has a great relationship.

Trump was shocked by what was in the ad and felt that it is not fair for a woman to hide her voting decision from her husband, especially if they do not get along. “But the women and the men, I don’t think that’s the way they interact. Can you imagine a woman not telling her husband who she is voting for? Have you ever heard anything like that?” He continued. “Even if you’ve had a terrible… if you’ve had a bad relationship, you’re going to tell your husband. It’s a ridiculous ad. So stupid. One day she will look back and say, “Did I really make that?”

All about Julia Roberts’ ad for Kamala Harris

Vote Common Good recently aired an ad, narrated by Julia Roberts, encouraging women to vote independently, regardless of what their husbands think. In the ad, after exchanging a knowing look with another, a woman votes for Kamala Harris. Roberts’ voiceover talks about abortion rights, saying, “In the only place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know.” At the end of the ad, her husband asks if she “made the right choice,” and she replies with a smile, “She sure did, honey.”

This also led to some conservative backlash, arguing that women should hide their political choices from their husbands. In a voiceover, Roberts says, “In the only place in America where women still have the right to choose, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know. Remember: what happens in the box, stays in the box. Vote for Harris/Walz.”

Growing support for Harris from Hollywood

Julia Roberts is the latest celebrity to join the wave of Hollywood support for Kamala Harris. She’s in the company of stars like Jennifer Lopez, who recently called out Trump’s team for offensive comments against Puerto Rico and the Latino community at a rally, and Cardi B, who headlined Harris’ rally in Wisconsin. Other big names including Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker and Mindy Kaling have also expressed their support.

While Harris has received support from influential figures such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence and Octavia Spencer, Trump has received support from celebrities such as Zachary Levi, Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan.
