4:56Now PlayingRepublicans are so angry about the endorsement from Taylor Swift to the Harris-Walz campaign that they are now begging people to stop listening to celebrities. And, to make the issue even more ironic, they are having their right wing celebrities beg people to stop listening to them. During a recent appearance on Newsmax, actor Dean Cain made a plea for viewers to stop listening to celebrities like him, completely unaware of the irony of that statement. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Republicans are still freaking out over the fact that Taylor Swift came out last week and endorsed Kamala Harris and Tim Walls, and now they are begging people to, please don't get your political advice from a celebrity. How dumb is that? They're telling us and Newsmax, in order to drive the point home, that you shouldn't listen to celebrities about politics brought on actor Dean Kain to tell people why they shouldn't listen to people like Dean Kain about politics. I wish I were making this up. Like this is something out of the onion at this point. Like right wing celebrities tell people don't listen to celebrities about politics. That seems farcical. That seems so absurd that there's no way it's true, but it happened. Here's the way it went down. Newsmax host brings on Dean Kane to talk about why do people listen to celebrities? Let's ask a celebrity or you know, a d-list celebrity, but the host asks the appeal to low information voters. You know, I get it, but what's your sense? Do people vote based on what their favorite rapper, their bubblegum music artist says?
So in your own question, you're admitting that people who listen to celebrities are low information voters and you're asking that to a celebrity. Do you not see the irony here? Are you genuinely That's to, are you that low information? Why would people listen to celebrities? They must be low information. I should ask a celebrity. Oh my God, that level of stupidity. I mean, look, we have seen some dumb crap over the last few years from Republicans. This takes the cake. Uh, this was by the way, uh, Chris, uh, Salcito, I guess is how you pronounce his name. Uh, gotta be the dumbest person in the media to ask that question without even the irony getting into your dull little brain. You're the dumbest person in the media without a doubt. But Dean Kane responded. It, it kind of doubled down too. He's like, yeah, don't listen to me.
Here's what he says. I sure hope they don't. And that's the same thing when I endorse a candidate. Look, don't, don't listen to me. Alright, fair enough. Done. Right. But he continues do your research. And fortunately Taylor says that, she says, go do your research. Yeah. 'cause you don't wanna get on her bad side. You don't wanna off the swifties. 'cause you know, they will shut you down in a heartbeat because Taylor Swift has millions more fans than Dean Kane has ever had cumulatively over his career. And then he continued. But apparently like 300,000 plus people have gone on and have checked out the voter registration sites since she talked about it. You know, that's great. That's a great number. Good for her. But don't, I mean, honestly, don't listen to your favorite celebrity, myself included, or anybody else like that. Do your research. Figure it out. Look, I agree.
Do your research. A hundred percent. Do your research by the way, on everything. Not just who to vote for. Why don't you look into stories a little bit more and make sure that the media outlets that you're, you know, utilizing like newsmax are even telling the truth. You can do research on that too, people, and you should be. But again, who are the party? Who is the party, I guess I should say, uh, that repeatedly brings on celebrities to talk about the news of the day. It's the Republicans. You guys bring on Dean Kane. You bring out Scott Bayo, you had Hulk Hogan introduce Trump at the RNC. You bring on whoever that wrestler is that always brings the belt onto Fox News. The big fat guy, uh, kid Rock, you have him on the news shows talking about news of the day, Ted Nugent.
