GOP furious over Julia Roberts ad
A new Harris-Walz campaign ad encourages women to vote for Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris — even if their husbands are backing her Republican opponent Donald Trump.
Voiced by actor Julia Roberts, it was put out by the group Vote Common Good.
It alludes to abortion rights, which is seen as a pivotal issue in a race that has seen Trump with big polling leads among male voters, and Harris with a large lead among female voters.
Roberts says in the ad: “In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know.”
It then shows a woman on screen meeting up with her husband after casting her ballot for Harris.
The voter winks at a fellow female voter as her husband asks if she made the “right choice.”
Republicans have responded to the video with outrage.
Some, like Fox News host Jesse Waters, claimed on Wednesday, that a wife lying about her vote is as bad as an affair.
Other GOP members including Charlie Kirk said the thought was “nauseating.”
