Nicki Minaj went on Fox News to tell Americans to “vote red”—as if she’s some credible messenger on civic responsibility.Let’s be clear: Minaj is not a U.S. citizen, so she cannot vote in the election she’s trying to influence. She is married to a convicted sex offender who is ineligible to vote under California law while on parole, and her brother is serving 25 years to life after being convicted of predatory sexual assault against a child.That is not a moral indictment of a person for their relatives’ crimes. But it is absolutely relevant context when Fox News rolls out someone from this orbit to lecture the public about values, safety, crime, and “saving America.”The right has spent years pretending to be the party of law, order, family values, and protecting children—until a celebrity with a huge platform is willing to say “vote red.” Then the standards vanish. The hypocrisy becomes the whole point.They do not think you will look beyond the headline. They do not think you will notice that a nonvoter is being used to sell you a political agenda, or that outrage is selective, principles are disposable, and celebrity influence matters more to them than any value they claim to hold.How dumb do they think we are?View all 1,876 comments
