Chappell Roan Faces MASSIVE Backlash Over Her Refusal To Endorse

"Amid online backlash over her recent criticism of the Democratic and Republican parties ahead of the presidential election, singer Chappell Roan said on TikTok on Wednesday that she’ll vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

However, Roan said she wouldn’t endorse Harris, criticizing the Democratic Party’s views on transgender rights and the Israel-Gaza war."

There was nothing wrong with what she said.

[insidetheuniverse]

Roan should’ve just not been political, but here she is smh 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Mr.H-zujc]

As far as I’m concerned, saying “I’m voting for so-and-so” is an endorsement.

[BillCarson-zngx]

I used to always vote who Meatloaf endorsed. Now I don't know what to do. I'm lost

[pinkpearl]

BOTH SIDES ?!?!?!?
PLEASE, ONE SIDE IS CLEARLY WORSE!

[Freeden]

I think people are dumb for caring how she votes and who she supports.

[davidhiestand]

I remember the 2012 presidential election where Cenk said that he was going to vote for Obama but refused to endorse him. If you are telling people that you are going to vote for someone then that is at least a tacit endorsement.

[Hepler-sb]

See this is part of that voting shaming that drives me crazy. She doesn't need to endorse someone if she doesn't feel it's right to necessarily tell others to vote. Especially when she realizes that people that have decided not to vote for Kamala, have reached that conclusion based on their own feelings.

[MrRumcup]

O ...M...G!! This is BIG!
We're not just talking about some nobody like Taylor Swift or Oprah. We're talking CHAPPELL ROAN people!
Kamala NEEDS her endorsement!!

[atarileaf]

Democrats aren't voting for Harris they're voting against trump. Why endorse her?

[deadname...]

So simply voting for Kamala isn't dumb enough for liberals ?

[WarRogers]

Saying who you're voting for is an endorsement.

[stephenbailey]

Who cares what she says?? Who the hell is she ??

[wsb]

I'm not familiar with her work, I gather from comments that she's talented, respected, and popular.

But I can't figure out why any artist should feel compelled to publicly endorse any candidate. Why hound her about it, that's ridiculous.

[BowlSoHard]

If she’s voting for kamala she’s endorsing her. End of the story. Why is this a story

[edub]

Why even come out & say anything then. For someone who claims she doesn't crave attention she sure does bring a lot of it to herself

[kevinmurphy]

I appreciate her for giving her input. Gotta do what you think its right. But just because she's a celebrity doesn't mean she needs to endorse a politician.

[ElevenHymn]

No one forced her to make those stupid both sides comments. Democrats didn't force her to do that; if she wanted to stay out of the political talk she could have just not said anything. Equating the Democratic and Republican parties when it comes to Trans Rights is beyond moronic, and she made the choice to do that.

[GPFaster]

Who is Chappell Roam???

Regards,
Everyone.

[annadrift]

Honestly, I don't want to know who anyone votes for. Not family, friends, musicians, or randos on the street.
