An ad from the Common Good PAC, approved by Kamala Harris’s campaign and narrated by actress Julia Roberts, has stirred controversy by encouraging women to hide their votes from their husbands.
In the ad, two women are shown heading to the voting booth alongside their husbands, exchanging knowing smiles as they prepare to vote one way while planning to tell their husbands they voted another.
The ad implies that women might face pressure or conflict over their political choices within their marriages, presenting secrecy as a solution.
This message has drawn sharp criticism from conservatives and others who argue that marriage should be built on trust and honesty.
Among the critics is conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who called the ad “repulsive” and said it promotes dishonesty in marriage.
“Kamala Harris and her team believe that there’ll be millions of women that undermine their husbands and do so in a way that it’s not detectable in the polling,” Kirk said on a podcast with Megyn Kelly.
He called the campaign “nauseating,” seeing it as a symbol of what he views as a decline in American family values.
