Yahoo Lifestyle Donald Trump Slams Julia Roberts for Narrating Ad Urging Wives to Vote for Kamala Harris: ‘She’s Going to Look Back at That and She’s Going to Cringe’
Donald Trump criticized Julia Roberts on “Fox & Friends” Saturday for narrating a Harris-Walz campaign ad that reminds women that their vote is their choice, regardless of how their husbands or anyone else may be voting.
“I’m so disappointed at Julia Roberts. She’s going to look back on that and she’s going to cringe. ‘Did I really say that?’” Trump said while calling into the show. “It doesn’t say much for her relationship, but I’m sure she has a great relationship. The wives and the husbands, I don’t think that’s the way they deal. Can you imagine a wife not telling a husband who she’s voting for? Did you ever hear anything like that? Even if you had a horrible — if you had a bad relationship, you’re going to tell your husband. It’s a ridiculous thing. So stupid.”

The Roberts-narrated ad was created by the progressive evangelical group Vote Common Good. In the video, one woman is seen voting for Harris in the booth, even though her husband appears to be leaning towards Trump.
“In the one place in America where women still have a right to choose, you can vote any way you want and no one will ever know,” Roberts says, nodding to how reproductive rights are in jeopardy if Trump is reelected president.
The woman in the ad who votes for Harris is seen leaving the voting booth and meeting her husband, who asks: “Did you make the right choice?” The wife answers, “Sure did, honey,” and then shares a glance with her female friend that makes it clear voting for Harris is their secret in the voting booth and their husbands will never know.
“Remember,” Roberts adds as the narrator, “what happens in the booth, stays in the booth.”
