A Harris-Walz campaign ad with a Julia Roberts voiceover encourages women to vote how they choose, without anyone ever knowing, including their husbands. After all, women were given the right to vote when the 19th Amendment was ratified on August 26, 1920.
The Roberts ad, put out by Vote Common Good, has triggered MAGA bigly.
Fox News host Jessie Watters focused on the ad, whining about the sanctity of marriage, saying it would be D-Day if his wife voted for Harris.
Newt Gingrich, a totally amoral, corrupt a-hole, described how awful it is to lie to your spouse.
“These people are dishonest,” Gingrich responded. “And so, for them to tell people to lie is just one further example of the depth of their corruption. I mean, how do you run a country where you’re walking around saying, ‘Wives should lie to their husbands, husbands should lie to their wives’?”
Charlie Kirk bemoaned the downfall of the American family, which he feels is commandeered by a husband who works his tail off to give a wife a nice life.
But Nicole Wallace ends up with the last word in a Harry-Met-Sally moment:
And who is Liz Cheney anymore??

Vote for Common Good responded:
“The backlash from certain men who are horrified to think their wives might disagree with them actually proves our point. We know the MAGA movement is putting increased pressure on people, but we also know the strong will of Americans when they stand in the voting booth,” said Executive Director Doug Pagitt.
“Our work is all about helping people do the thing in the voting booth that they know in their heart they want to do. We’ve traveled the country and met people all over who have a higher calling for their vote than just what their political party or friends demand of them,” he added. “We know they’ll think about who they love the most when they vote and not just what their political party or religious community tells them to do.
“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.
