Donald Trump did not appreciate an advertisement in favor of his opponent, Kamala Harris, broadcast in the last days of the presidential campaign – the election is being held on Tuesday, November 5. Produced by the organization Vote Common Good which targets religious conservatives hostile to the Republican candidate, the thirty-second video, with the voice of actress Julia Roberts, features a woman in front of a polling station.

Invited by her husband to follow her civic duty, she chose once in the voting booth to check the Democratic box, then assuring her husband, who had clearly spoken in favor of the other candidate, that she had well voted. “In the only place in America where women still have the right to choose”a transparent allusion to the suppression of the right to abortion decided by the Supreme Court with a conservative majority in 2022, “you can vote however you want and no one will ever know”provides the voice of the actress.

“I am very disappointed in Julia Roberts. She’s going to think about it again and she’s going to bite her fingersassured Donald Trump during an interminable intervention in the morning show on the conservative channel Fox News, Saturday, November 2. Can you imagine a woman who doesn’t tell her husband who she’s going to vote for? Have you ever heard such a thing? Even if you had a horrible, if you had a bad relationship with him, you’re going to tell your husband. It’s ridiculous. It’s so stupid. »

The Republican candidate added his voice to a chorus of conservative protests. Three days earlier, a host from the same channel, Jesse Watters, had estimated that if his wife Emma behaved in this way, it would be “the same as having an extramarital affair”. “This is a violation of the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she hiding from me? What is she lying about? »he asked himself.

Charlie Kirk, a young star of the conservative movement, also found the clip “really disgusting”. All the more “nauseating”according to him, that the woman on the screen is wearing a cap with the American flag. “She comes with her nice husband who probably works like crazy to make sure that she can have, you know, a good life, and provide for the family, and then she lies to him and says, ‘Oh, yeah , I’m going to vote for Trump” and then she votes for Kamala Harris”he protested.
