“A vote for Republicans is a vote for fascism,” Trump said.
Mary Trump, the niece of former President Donald Trump, said actress Susan Sarandon is a “complete idiot” for suggesting there is no point in voting for the Democratic party.
“She’s a complete idiot. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about, and if someone with a straight face can say the Democrats are the problem, then I don’t know what to tell them,” Trump said as he appeared on MeidasTouch Podcast on Thursday.
“She was pretty decent in a few movies a few decades ago, but politically she’s an idiot,” Trump said.
Sarandon, who has a long track record of leftist activism, has become increasingly critical of the Democratic Party. in a recent tweet, the actress accused them of “sitting on their hands for the past two years” and “fearing you to vote blue”.
“I can’t even tell you how furious I am,” Trump said on the MeidasTouch Podcast. “She’s an idiot, but she thinks she’s a wise shaman or something.”
Trump said the actress is a victim of the “Dunning-Kruger effect” — a cognitive bias in which low-income people overestimate their abilities.
“If we can make it as simple as possible, a vote for Republicans is a vote for fascism,” Trump said.
Trump appeared on the podcast to discuss the leaked US Supreme Court draft vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling protecting abortion rights.
sen. Mitch McConnell said Saturday that a national abortion ban would be “possible” if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Trump said the only way to stop the anti-abortion momentum was to prevent them from winning Congress in the November midterm elections.
Mary Trump criticized the draft abortion advisory, noting that the Supreme Court has a majority of GOP-appointed judges.
She also criticized the wave of restrictive abortion laws proposed in several Republican-led states, some of which allow rapists’ families and friends to sue a rape victim for having an abortion, such as in Tennessee and Idaho,
“These laws that are being passed, and now that the Supreme Court is federalizing, are not just pro-incest, they are pro-rapist… If your rapist has more rights than you, that seems problematic to me,” she said. †
Several Republican senators would not confirm whether they support rape and incest exceptions to abortion bans, Insider previously reported.
