Reuters Is Very Excited That Some Celebs Are Getting Political Ahead Of The Midterms

Reuters has a big ol’ article out, all about celebs “getting political” ahead of the midterms.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – On a recent Thursday night, more than 100 people in Hollywood turned their attention to politics. They mingled with Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti inside a hip piano bar lighted by a sign that screamed “OMG WTF.”

Of course Michael Avenatti was there. OF COURSE.

The sign stands for a political action committee that supports Democrats running for state posts in Republican-controlled Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas and Florida – OMG WTF being the first letters of each state.

I found this part the most perplexing…

Now, the entertainment industry is using its star power and creativity to support down-ballot candidates in the Nov. 6 elections. Down-ballot races are typically state and local positions that are listed on voting ballots below national posts.

They’re acting as if that’s new. Were these people around in 2016? Remember Katy Perry and Lena Dunham going all in for Hillz? THIS IS NOT BRAND NEW. Celebs have BEEN voicing their opinions.

I'm sure you broke your necks to try and find celebrities that will speak in favor of Republicans, not.

Should We really be concerned about everything what CELEBRITIES think or say? They think we are all stupid so..

The sad thing is, some people base their votes that way.
