Cher trolled for supporting Kamala Harris after claiming she’ll leave the country if Trump is elected

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Singing icon Cher announced her endorsement of the Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, for the upcoming 2024 election late on Friday, October 18.

The Grammy winner took to social media to share her message, stating that she has been a longtime supporter of the vice president.

Cher is the latest to join the celebrity bandwagon backing Harris for the White House against her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, according to The Hill.

She has openly expressed her disdain for the business tycoon, telling The Guardian in an interview last year that she would consider leaving the United States if Trump were reinstated in the Oval Office.

“I almost got an ulcer the last time,” she said. “If he gets in, who knows? This time I will leave (the country).”

Cher's endorsement of Kamala Harris

In a video shared by Cher on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), she states, "I have followed Kamala Harris since she was my US senator. She fought for me then, and she is fighting for all of us now."

Harris represented California in the United States Senate from 2017 to 2021, after serving as the state's attorney general from 2011 to 2016, according to the Congress website.

"That's why I'm proudly voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz," continued Cher. "I know they will fight to protect our rights and I'm so grateful to be able to make my voice count this year. I hope you will too."

The caption to the post read, "I’m voting for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz, I hope you will too. Go to IWillVote.com to make a plan to vote. Go to go.kamalaharris.com to find ways to get involved."

Internet mocks Cher for backing Kamala Harris

Netizens, particularly conservatives, reacted to the news on X by trolling Cher over her announcement. The following tweets highlight the prevailing sentiments.

"(Cher) is an elite who doesn’t care what the hardworking American people are going through," wrote a user.

"Celebrities have an inflated value of their importance," shared another.

"She is old and senile... No wonder," said a user.

"78 years old and doesn’t have a clue what is going on," commented another user.

"Pardon me, but who cares who she is voting for?" mocked a user.

"Cher can afford Kamala, but most of us cannot afford another four years of Kamala," noted yet another.
