Drea de Matteo Criticizes Wealthy Celebrities Supporting Biden
During a recent interview on Fox News, Drea de Matteo , famously known for her roles in "The Sopranos" and her presence on the platform OnlyFans , voiced strong criticisms against affluent celebrities endorsing President Joe Biden. Noted personalities such as George Clooney and Mark Hamill were specifically mentioned as being disconnected from the realities faced by the general public.
Concerns Over Celebrity Influence in Politics
In the conversation with "Fox and Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt , de Matteo articulated her concerns about whether celebrities truly comprehend everyday challenges like grocery shopping or paying for gas—essentials that weigh heavily on working-class Americans. She questioned the effectiveness of these celebrity endorsements in relating to average citizens and influencing their political views.
Encouragement for Political Independence
De Matteo emphasized the importance of not blindly following a political party but instead choosing leaders who genuinely address current societal and economic issues. She expressed her discontent with the approach of merely aligning with party politics without considering broader impacts.
Critique of COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
The actress also highlighted her opposition to mandated COVID-19 vaccinations for frontline workers, which she views as a breach of individual rights. She expressed solidarity with those, including military and healthcare workers, who faced resignations rather than comply with the vaccine mandates, underscoring the sacrifices made by these professionals during the pandemic's peak.
Relevance to Upcoming Elections
De Matteo suggested that the involvement of high-profile celebrities in political endorsements might not significantly sway the re-election prospects of President Biden. She has previously shared similar views on another Fox News program, "Gutfeld."
