Vice President Kamala Harris is facing backlash for an ad that was released ahead of the presidential election that encouraged men to secretly vote Democrat. The progressive organization Vote Common Good shared the ad depicting a group of conservative men going to vote, when one of them has second thoughts and marks Harris on his ballot.
“Come on boys. Let’s make America great again,” one man says in the beginning of the ad to his bearded friend as they walk into a polling location. “Before you cast your vote in this election, think about how it’ll impact the people you care about the most,” the narrator says as the man contemplates his choice at the voting booth. “Remember, you can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know,” the ad continues.
The ad concludes, “What happens in the booth, stays in the booth.” Vote Common Good shared the video on X, writing, “It’s time to put your love of your family over your love of Trump. No one has to know what you do in the voting booth.” The Kamala Harris campaign has caught backlash for similar ads encouraging secrecy and deceit among American voters.
The American Tribune reported on another ad from Vote Common Good that drew criticism for being “dishonest.” The ad featured a voiceover from actress Julia Roberts and showed a husband and wife interacting before going to vote. The wife then locks eyes with another woman, and they give each other a “knowing” look.
Roberts said, “In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want. Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth.” The ad then shows the woman’s husband asking, “Did you do the right thing, honey?” She says enthusiastically, “I sure did!”
Speaking about the controversial ad, Fox News host Laura Ingraham stated, “Alright, Democrats have a really cool new strategy to win over women. When it comes to time to vote, lie to your husbands and your boyfriends. Someone actually got paid to write that script for Julia Roberts. Is it any wonder that male voters can’t stand Kamala with messaging like this?”
The host added, “That men are somehow bullying or threatening the women in their lives who vote for Kamala Harris? Now, I don’t get offended by much anymore. I’ve been in Washington for too long, but that even offends me.” Former NASCAR driver and Trump supporter Danic Patrick sounded off on the ad for encouraging dishonesty.
Watch the ad below:
“You know, obviously, that’s about lying,” Patrick said, before comparing the sentiment with comments coming from Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance who maintained that relationships should not be destroyed over politics. The Ohio senator has promoted an agenda that is focused on strengthening the family unit.
Patrick continued, “On the other side, JD Vance said something beautiful. He said, ‘You shouldn’t be losing close relationships with people based on who you vote for and this election.’ So, I think that, really, if this is the truth about how you feel, and that you can’t tell your significant other about how you voted, it might reflect a little bit more on the depth of your relationship, because this is a core value.”
