Conservatives outraged at Julia Roberts ad for Kamala Harris on spouse votes
From the October 31, 2024 article:
“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know,” Roberts says in the ad as a woman on screen meets up with her husband after casting her ballot for Harris.
The voter winks at a fellow female voter as her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”
Republicans have responded to the video with outrage, with some claiming that a wife lying about her vote is as bad as an affair.
“If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Fox News host Jesse Watters said on air Wednesday in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.
Other GOP members including Charlie Kirk said the thought was “nauseating.”
Reminder so it’s absolutely 100% clear: you can lie about who you voted for
Your dad threaten to kick you out if you don’t vote the way he wants you to, and you don’t vote that way? Lie. Or say you didn’t vote.
Your boss asks who you voted for? Lie. If you can ask if they think that’s appropriate to ask.
Your partner? Lie. Your vote is genuinely yours.
Hell, lie here. You don’t need to tell anyone who you voted for, and you don’t need to be honest about it.
But WAIT - don’t tell someone that you DIDN’T vote - this part of your vote is public record (in the US).
- Anyone can look up your voting record and see WHEN you voted.
- But no one can see HOW you voted.
