Critics Slam ‘Back To The Future’ Star For Shaming Pro-Trump ‘White Women’

Race- and gender-related issues continue to take center stage in the Democratic Party’s effort to push Kamala Harris across the finish line in next month’s presidential election.

When actress Lea Thompson sought to lecture her fellow “white women” on the topic of politics, however, she received significant social media backlash.

As the Daily Wire reported:

Thompson referenced the oft-repeated Democrat complaint that white women had been the primary drivers behind Trump’s 2016 victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and begged them not to make 2024 a repeat of that.

“Please please white women. Don’t do this again. Remember our grandmothers couldn’t vote. We couldn’t own land. Get a credit card. Birth control. We have already lost rights. It will not stop,” she pleaded.

Critics weren’t buying Thompson’s claims, however, and they took to X to suggest that if the past truly was prologue, her future predictions were a little off the mark.

The ensuing wave of criticism came in fast and furiously.

Please white women don’t use your freedom of choice to support any candidate you feel is best for you!

What a crock of shit!

Right? The last time Trump was president I had to stop voting, give up my land, they cut up my credit card, and took my birth control.

Totally. 🙄😂 https://t.co/D3lsYKQ90h

How freaking old are you that your grandmother couldn’t vote?

The 19th amendment was certified in 1920.

Thompson also spoke out against her former fiancé Dennis Quaid’s support of President Donald Trump.

As Yahoo reported:

Lea Thompson is looking back on her three-year engagement to Dennis Quaid rather regretfully following the latter’s appearance at a Donald Trump campaign event in Coachella, California on Saturday. Thompson tweeted, “I was engaged to him” alongside a thinking emoji and the hashtags “#VoteBlueToStopTheStupid” and another indicating crime is actually down under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Thompson and Quaid began dating in 1982 after they met as actors on the set of “Jaws 3-D.” They were engaged from 1984 until 1987. Thompson met her now-husband, Howard Deutch, on the set of “Some Kind of Wonderful” in 1986. Thompson has gone on to become a prolific TV director, while Quaid recently starred as Ronald Reagan in the poorly reviewed “Reagan” biopic.

While speaking at the campaign rally, Quaid told the crowd of Trump supporters that the time had come to “pick a side.” Pointing to the liberal tilt of the viral video platform, he asked, “Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?”

Here’s a clip of Quaid’s recent remarks:
