Race- and gender-related issues continue to take center stage in the Democratic Party’s effort to push Kamala Harris across the finish line in next month’s presidential election.
When actress Lea Thompson sought to lecture her fellow “white women” on the topic of politics, however, she received significant social media backlash.
As the Daily Wire reported:
Thompson referenced the oft-repeated Democrat complaint that white women had been the primary drivers behind Trump’s 2016 victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and begged them not to make 2024 a repeat of that.
“Please please white women. Don’t do this again. Remember our grandmothers couldn’t vote. We couldn’t own land. Get a credit card. Birth control. We have already lost rights. It will not stop,” she pleaded.
Critics weren’t buying Thompson’s claims, however, and they took to X to suggest that if the past truly was prologue, her future predictions were a little off the mark.
The ensuing wave of criticism came in fast and furiously.
Please white women don’t use your freedom of choice to support any candidate you feel is best for you!
What a crock of shit!
