MAGA is straight up losing it after Taylor Swift’s Harris endorsement
All’s well that ends well, but MAGA’s in a new hell.
“F you, Taylor Swift!” shouted Megyn Kelly, “and f all of the people who want to see these children have body parts chopped off.”
For those not fluent in Republican crazy-speak, Kelly’s meltdown was triggered by Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris the night before, barely one hour after Trump all but face-planted on the debate stage. Kelly was especially triggered by Swift highlighting her appreciation for vice presidential nominee Tim Walz’s support of LGBTQ+ rights.
…
Other right-wing commentators, like Ben Shapiro, took another approach: making fun of Swifties. “Note: if you vote for a particular candidate because your favorite singer is doing so, please don’t vote. You are too stupid to vote,” wrote Shapiro on X. Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, threatened to impregnate her.
You're viewing a single thread.
I read this morning that the Swift endorsement was not choreographed with the Harris/Walz champaign. They didn't know it would happen until it did. Yet, they turned out and advertised a campaign friendship braclet within an hour. That is excellent digital marketing work.
Edited to add. They also sold out of them in an hour
I saw the look on Tim's face as Rachael Maddow received a note on-air and read the tweet in total, live. Their absolute shit-eating grins showed total and genuine surprise. You could hear them internally screaming, "FUCKING JACKPOT!"
As to the bracelet, they knew she would endorse them at some point, I'm sure they had it ready for that eventuality.
It took me a bit to find this video for anyone looking for it. The more I see interactions with Tim, really shows how wholesome of a person he is.
Yeah, her war chest is pretty huge so a few thousand bracelets on the assumption Seift would eventually endorse seems pretty reasonable.
The moment the right wing started pumping out AI pictures claiming Swift endorsed Trump, her endorsing Harris became basically inevitable
That's what happens when you have a great campaign staff.
Trump, otoh, sells the same red hat they've been selling for 8 years, plus some ridiculous "outlaw trump" posters
