Partido Republicano emite comunicado en contra de Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift ya está pagando los platos rotos por haberse posicionado políticamente en los Estados Unidos, esto al declararse incapaz de votar por la candidata republicana Marsha Blackburn para el Congreso, y así, ha despertado la ira de los republicanos. El sitio web de Billboard informó el lunes (8/10) que el Comité del Senado Nacional Republicano emitió un comunicado de prensa llamando a la estrella del pop un elitista e hipócrita por apoyar al demócrata Phil Bredesen, ex gobernador de Tennessee.

«Si no han escuchado, la estrella pop multimillonaria Taylor Swift ha bajado de su torre de marfil para decirle a los ciudadanos trabajadores que voten por Phil Bredesen»

Decía el comunicado, señalando que su gobierno habría manipulado las denuncias de acoso sexual dentro del gobierno. Ese punto es el principal medio de ataque de los republicanos contra el demócrata, y como Taylor Swift ya ha sido acosada por un DJ, los republicanos la tildaron de «hipócrita»

La cantante, que nunca se había posicionado políticamente, ha decidido cambiar su postura esta vez porque Marsha Blackburn va en contra de sus creencias.

Por mucho que lo haya hecho en el pasado y me encantaría seguir votando por las mujeres en el cargo, no puedo apoyarla. Sus votos en el Congreso me sorprenden y me asustan. Ella votó en contra de la igualdad salarial para las mujeres. Ella votó en contra -Autorización de la Ley de Violencia contra la Mujer, una ley que busca proteger a las mujeres de la violencia doméstica, la persecución y la violación. Ella cree que las empresas tienen el derecho de rechazar el servicio a las parejas homosexuales. También cree que no deberían tener el derecho de casarse

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! ???
