Nicole Scherzinger Under Fire For 'Coming Out As A Trump Supporter' On Russell Brand's MAGA Post
Fans think Nicole Scherzinger has come out as a Donald Trump supporter over a comment she made under Russell Brand's Instagram post.
Although the former "Pussycat Dolls" member didn't publicly endorse any candidates before the elections, she seemingly approved the comedian's post where he showed off a MAGA-like red hat.
Russell Brand, on the other hand, is a known Trump supporter and had previously slammed liberals for their "snobbery, contempt and condemnation" of Trump supporters.
Nicole Scherzinger Slammed For 'Coming Out As A Trump Supporter'
The 46-year-old singer and dancer was in awe of Brand's "Make Jesus First Again" cap, and she didn't shy away from letting it known.
Brand had taken to his Instagram account on election day to show off the red cap, and captioned it, "God Bless America."
Soon after, Scherzinger took to the comment section of the post to show her love for the MAGA-resembling accessory and wrote, "Where do I get this hat!!!?" along with the prayer hands and red heart emojis.
She didn't appear to have "liked" the image, but her fondness for the hat surprised many of her fans even though she didn't officially endorse any candidate before the elections.
Fans Are Divided On The Singer's Comment On Russell Brand's Post
Several fans took to the comment section of her post to pen their disapproval of what they think means she's a Trump supporter.
A fan wrote, "Why would she openly admit this? Does she realize the consequences are huge, considering we're in an era of social media?"
Another said, "The flop to conservative pipeline needs to be studied."
"F-king hell, Nicole, not this," a third person commented, while another added, "Well, the Best Actress Tony race just got a little less competitive."
One suspicious fan said, "Nicole Scherzinger coming out as a trump supporter makes perfect sense."
"And that's why she was hated in the Pussycat Dolls, and now she's gonna be hated even more. Good luck for a lifetime of hate," another person claimed.
Meanwhile, other fans on X came to her defense as some pointed out that she meant no harm.
"Leave that girl alone. She has the same right to her opinions & who she wants to support as anyone else," a fan said. "I get someone may not like a politician & that's fine! Say what you want about that politician."
The fan added, "Is she out there attacking a Kamala supporter for having a different opinion? I doubt it. People need to learn to agree to disagree & move on."
Russell Brand Supports Donald Trump
Unlike Scherzinger, Brand has been a known MAGA supporter and has been outspoken about it even before the elections.
Back in June, before Joe Biden stepped down as the flag bearer of the Democratic party, paving the way for Kamala Harris to run, Brand shared that he found it difficult to understand why "freedom-loving" Americans would choose to vote for Biden over Trump, per the Daily Mail.
In an episode of his podcast, "Stay Free With Russell Brand," he expressed his dissatisfaction with the buildup to the elections, saying he feels "concerned" about the "snobbery, contempt and condemnation" by liberals of Trump supporters who are "plainly held by his detractors," adding that they have been responsible for the "weaponization of the legal system."
"In a straight choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don't know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can't," Brand said.
Russell Brand Claims Liberals Act Like A Vote For The Billionaire Is A Vote For 'Armageddon'
Elsewhere in his quip, the English comedian seemingly slammed liberals, accusing them of not being doers of what they preach.
He went on to say that "they act as if a vote for [Trump] is almost like you're directly voting for Armageddon, like you see hysterical performances outside of courtrooms, endless MSNBC bombast," he shared.
"But I'm starting to think that no, a greater threat to democracy is this kind of technological feudalism that tells you that it cares about you and that it's protecting vulnerable people, all the while increasing censorship, increasing the funding of wars, increasing the division between ordinary Americans," he added.
Donald Trump Vows To Bring On The 'Golden Age' Of America
The President-elect has since addressed his supporters after securing more than 270 electoral votes in the 2024 presidential election.
Standing before an energized crowd just after 2:30 a.m., Trump said, "This was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time. There's never been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond. And now it's going to reach a new level of importance because we're going to help our country heal."
He emphasized the challenges ahead: "We're going to help our country heal. We have a country that needs help, and it needs help very badly. We're going to fix our borders. We're going to fix everything about our country, and we've made history for a reason tonight. And the reason is going to be just that. We overcame obstacles that nobody thought possible."
In his speech, Trump promised to usher in what he called the "golden age of America," claiming he would fight to protect Americans and their future and "make America great again."
