Pharrell is correct, however if your opinion is swayed by a celebrity endorcement or criticism you should NOT be voting

[suegordon]

Good for Pharrell. There’s no need to preach about politics.

[gailcarey]

Play your sports, fly your planes, entertain your fans and keep your politics private.

[mikeb.]

Micheal Jordan said it best, Republicans buy just as many shoes as Democrats

[michelebell]

Although I applaud Pharrell for saying that, celebrities don’t know what us normal people go through every single day and absolutely no one should take their voting advice from any of them!

[paratrooperlane]

I will never use the words stars or do people idolized these kinds of people.

[samgrant]

A person who is in Hollywood should really keep their mouth shut because the door could shut on you.

[popajoekiller]

Holy shit. A man I can get behind. That’s a message for people (celebrities) to listen to.

[hhampton]

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANY CELEBRITY'S political opinions, any more than I want to know the political opinion of my plumber or mechanic. All I care about is that they are good at their job.

[raycosman]

Celebrities talking politics offend a good part of their audience.

[ozarked]

A political endorsement by a celebrity is the epitome of arrogance and narcissism. It means that you think that you are so important and informed that other people should follow your lead on supporting a candidate or an issue.

[AJackson_]

Thank God! One celebrity that actually has some sense🙏🏼

[MichelleMissyMartinezjunco]

Yes! That show last night with Opra was stupid!! Word salad!!

[TheVinegarden]

I quit watching awards shows probably 10 years ago. I used to love the Oscars and Emmys. Then it turned political. Everyone got on the soap box and had to preach their politics. I wanted to be entertained, get away from politics for a few brief hours. It is now shoved down your throat 24/7 from every angle. I just shut my TV off. I just can’t stand SJW, elitists preaching to us as if we are stupid or discriminatory. I’m over celebrities who make millions of dollars telling me what I need to think or believe. Go back to your mansions and shut your mouth. Vote how you want to vote. I will vote how I want to vote.

[mr.d.]

I would not hold Williams up as any kind of moral authority. He's made reprehensible statements in the past about whte people.

[Jm-Gonz]

For some reason celebrities think we care what they think
I may love how an actor plays a character in. A movie or tv show
That’s it. I can think for myself without their help

[cnD]

My parents always said don't share who you're voting for, now I know why, it causes so much division.

[nickyymartins-fbjt]

My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance!!.

[timmothy]

michael jordan said, "both sides buy my shoes"...ha...duh...

[jamessmith]

Whatever celebrities want you to support, go the other way and you're usually on good ground
