Conservative Furor Over Julia Roberts Voting Autonomy Ad

A new Harris-Walz campaign ad voiced by actor Julia Roberts encourages women to vote for Vice President Harris in the presidential election, even if their husbands are backing former President Trump. Republicans have responded to the video with outrage, with some claiming that a wife lying about her vote is as bad as an affair.

"In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. And no one will ever know," Roberts says in the ad as a woman on screen meets up with her husband after casting her ballot for Harris.

The voter winks at a fellow female voter as her husband asks if she made the "right choice."

"If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that's the same thing as having an affair," Fox News host Jesse Watters said on air Wednesday in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

Other GOP members including Charlie Kirk said the thought was "nauseating."

In criticizing the ad, he discussed a husband working hard to afford his wife's lifestyle, and then said a wife who lied to her husband about whom she backed would amount to undermining her husband.

"Kamala Harris and her team believe that there will be millions of women that undermine their husbands and do so in a way that it's not detectable in the polling," he added.

In response to his statements, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) called Kirk a "twit."

White male privilege personified. Can Trumphumping men be any more snowflake? Do these troglodytes actually think that they're entitled to know how their wives vote, and if she deceives them it's the same as having an affair?

There's gonna be a lot of divorces started around next weekend if that's how the majority of GOP husbands think. Women are outvoting men so far by up to 13 points in the swing states and the majority aren't turning out because they want Trump to grab their privates. Just the opposite. They don't want to let Trump make them second class citizens and have the states dictate how, when, and where they can receive healthcare services that might just save their lives.

The ides of Roevember are upon us.

They do.

The absurdity is mind boggling.
