Political ad ignites conservative anger over women possibly hiding their votes from their husbands
A political video reminded women that they can vote for Vice President Kamala Harris without telling their husbands, enraging prominent conservatives and reigniting a fiery discourse that highlights the central role of gender in this year’s election.
A political video reminded women that they can vote for Vice President Kamala Harris without telling their husbands, enraging prominent conservatives and reigniting a fiery discourse that highlights the central role of gender in this year’s election.
The video, which began circulating last week, opens with a woman about to enter the polling booth after her husband, looking nervously back at him before she makes her choice. She locks eyes with another woman as they fill out their ballots for Harris.
“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose,” actor Julia Roberts narrates, alluding to an ongoing partisan battle over reproductive rights, “you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know.”
The women then leave the polling booth to meet their husbands, who presumably cast their votes for former President Donald Trump.
“Did you make the right choice?” one of the husbands asks.
