Stacey Dash Defends Mitt Romney Endorsement



Will the backlash Stacey Dash endured after voicing her support for Mitt Romney change her mind about voting for the Republican presidential nominee? As if!

The Clueless actress, 46, appeared on Piers Morgan Tonight October 9 to defend her October 7 tweet endorsing the politician, 65. (Dash called Romney "the only voice for your future" and posted a photo of herself in a red bathing suit standing in front of an American flag.)

"I really don't understand the fury," Dash said. "I don't understand it. I don't get it. I was shocked, saddened -- not angry. Saddened and really shocked. But you know what, you can't expect everyone to agree with you."

Indeed. One Twitter user told Dash she was "an unemployed black woman endorsing Mitt Romney. You're voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot." Another user told "the old hag" to "kill herself."

Dash, who said she voted for Democratic President Barack Obama in 2008, explained that she believes in Romney's vision for what the United States could be. "I watched him, the Governor and his wife, on Meet The Press. They spoke to me," she said. "They seemed authentic and genuine."

Luckily, not everyone is giving Dash the cold shoulder. "Had a great conversation with Stacey this afternoon," Paul Ryan, Romney's vice presidential running mate tweeted October 9. "Thank you for your support!"

stephaniebrown 10th-Oct-2012 03:57 pm (UTC)
why would any woman support Romney? especially a WOC...
deadtree 10th-Oct-2012 04:13 pm (UTC)
At this point I wonder why anyone who identifies as human would vote for him.
Corporations, sure.
crazyventures 10th-Oct-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
Didn't you hear? Romney thinks corporations are people, too. So does the Supreme Court but that's a whole different clusterfuck
xtinkerbellax 10th-Oct-2012 04:21 pm (UTC)
It's probably solely based on financial reasons.
satellite__eyes 10th-Oct-2012 04:39 pm (UTC)
Their own personal greed.
cityxpretty 10th-Oct-2012 04:46 pm (UTC)
That's what baffles me. I know quite a few college girls voting for him so I assume they don't know wtf they're supporting.

internalized misogyny, apathy for women's rights, or just genuine beliefs that women don't deserve equal rights or the right to choose

sad that there are women like that though ):
iciegurl89 11th-Oct-2012 12:44 am (UTC)
all 3 of my roommates except me. lol

They said they don't believe people should pay for healthcare if they can't afford it.

I don't know where to begin. Oh yeah they said people are voting for Obama just 'cause he's black umm NEWSFLASH people here (in TN) are voting for Romney just because he's republican/white duh.
honeebs 10th-Oct-2012 03:58 pm (UTC)
Ryan said laughing as he hung up the phone.
winniechili 10th-Oct-2012 03:59 pm (UTC)
They seemed authentic and genuine.

All that virgin's blood she's drinking is effecting her brain, cause she is stupid.
highd 10th-Oct-2012 03:59 pm (UTC)
I liked her tweet, it means I know who to not support at the box office.
kurai007 10th-Oct-2012 04:01 pm (UTC)
hahahaha
hoot 10th-Oct-2012 04:20 pm (UTC)
Has she been in a movie since Clueless?
highd 10th-Oct-2012 04:22 pm (UTC)
Don't really know, but I know I won't be adding money to her bank account anymore.
cickiz 10th-Oct-2012 03:59 pm (UTC)
people only like freedom of speech when they think it means they can say something and no one will criticize them for it.
niklaus 10th-Oct-2012 04:12 pm (UTC)
yep. that shit goes both ways.
sastra_fuss 10th-Oct-2012 04:16 pm (UTC)
yeah, but some people take their "criticism" too far. no need to call her an idiot or tell her to kill herself.
cickiz 10th-Oct-2012 04:40 pm (UTC)
yeah I agree. I didn't realize she got such awful tweets.
flying_pandas 10th-Oct-2012 04:44 pm (UTC)
oh - i don't mind the idiot part because if she uses "authentic" and "genuine" to describe the Romneys then she probably is one.

familiardevil 10th-Oct-2012 09:14 pm (UTC)
tbh calling her an idiot is rude and in some ways uncalled for but imo a lot of people are stupid for voting for Romney - like they are actively voting against their own benefit - so I feel okay calling them an idiot or seeing other people calling them an idiot.

telling her to kill herself is disgusting however
myblackass 10th-Oct-2012 04:18 pm (UTC)
Exactly.

everyone has the right to vote for whoever they want, sure she's wrong and her choice sucks, but she's still free to vote for her flop choice

IA and the misogyny and death threats are not qt
expromqueen 10th-Oct-2012 04:48 pm (UTC)
ppl get death threats on twitter just from being on twitter. she must be new to the site or something
thelovehater 10th-Oct-2012 04:08 pm (UTC)
Exactly.
orangeandblack 10th-Oct-2012 04:08 pm (UTC)
Exactly. When people do this shit, I'm just like "Good for you, bye." and unfollow their ignorant wrong asses. I don't start sending death threats and calling them names. Being grown up is HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD.
sadisticsidhe 10th-Oct-2012 04:10 pm (UTC)

brucelynn 10th-Oct-2012 04:11 pm (UTC)
That is fine

but she is also a self hating bigot and lowkey birther

she deserves to be called on it
steph313 10th-Oct-2012 04:13 pm (UTC)
This. I'm surround by Republicans at work, and they're constantly on me about my liberal choices being uninformed and naive--which, what? Makes me want to suddenly vote for your guy? No, if anything it makes me resent them and their candidate more.

It's the same on either side of the fence. People have really idiotic reasons for making their choice, but the name calling and the bullying isn't changing anyone's mind. It's fueling the fire.
chuk_is_dazzled 10th-Oct-2012 04:14 pm (UTC)
yep
tobiveil12 10th-Oct-2012 04:14 pm (UTC)
I feel like people don't understand freedom sometimes. No one is actually forcing her to vote un Romney. She still has freedom, but that doesn't mean people cant criticse her for her choice.
scriptedending 10th-Oct-2012 04:21 pm (UTC)
ita
satellite__eyes 10th-Oct-2012 04:26 pm (UTC)
She has the freedom to vote for whomever and I have the freedom to let her know how fucking wrong I think her choice is.

MUUUUUUURICA!
noxonesxlooking 10th-Oct-2012 04:29 pm (UTC)
i agree. I dont like mitt romney but i think its bullshit for ostracizing someone for their political beliefs.
haverchuck_bill 10th-Oct-2012 04:38 pm (UTC)
Yep. I just know who to start ignoring. But lbr, Stacy Dash wasn't on my radar anyway.
karinette001 10th-Oct-2012 04:53 pm (UTC)
yup :s
oohasparklie 10th-Oct-2012 05:26 pm (UTC)
Seriously. I am really tired of the way people treat each other over politics in this country right now. She may be misguided, but she's not "OMG THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD EVER WE MUST GANG UP AND HATE HER HATE HER HATE HERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

The internet is ridiculous.
my_private_muse 10th-Oct-2012 03:59 pm (UTC)
Still so pressed about this betch's opinion.

Fellow WOC, so fucking disappoint.

On what planet do Romney and his wife seem authentic and genuine?

It's scary how bad people are at reading others. IDK maybe I'm just really decent at it but sometimes I don't get how people can't see past someone's bullshit.

lbr, ANY politician. This is why I fucking can't stand politics, even the general subject of it. It's all so fake, and it's the quickest way to get people pissed at one another. ugh
goldengal1193 10th-Oct-2012 04:00 pm (UTC)
She is entitled to her opinion.


But......


"They seemed authentic and genuine."


LOOOOOOOOOOL. Stop! Hahahaha.

I don't agree with her at all, but I feel like she should be able to support who she wants.
