Donald Trump has taken aim at actress Julia Roberts for her role in a campaign ad supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting that she will regret her involvement in the project. During an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Trump expressed his disappointment with Roberts, who narrated an ad created by the progressive group Vote Common Good. The ad promotes the idea that women should vote freely, regardless of their husbands’ preferences.
Trump stated, “I’m so disappointed at Julia Roberts. She’s going to look back on that and she’s going to cringe. ‘Did I really say that?’” He continued to criticize the premise of the ad, questioning the dynamics of relationships where spouses do not communicate about their voting decisions. “Can you imagine a wife not telling a husband who she’s voting for? Did you ever hear anything like that?” he asked, labeling the message as “ridiculous” and “stupid.”
In the Vote Common Good ad, one scene features a woman casting her vote for Harris while her husband appears to lean towards Trump. Roberts narrates, “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.” This statement underscores concerns about reproductive rights, particularly if Trump wins the presidency again.
As the ad progresses, the woman exits the voting booth, where her husband inquires, “Did you make the right choice?” She confidently replies, “Sure did, honey,” and shares a knowing look with her friend, suggesting that their voting choices are a private matter. Roberts concludes the ad with the phrase, “Remember, what happens in the booth, stays in the booth.”
