Jennifer Lawrence slams GOP candidate JD Vance in no uncertain terms
US Vogue. In an age when many celebrities are guarded about their political views, Lawrence did not hold back. She explains why she and her Republican-voting family in Kentucky are at loggerheads, and her views on a range of issues, from Roe v.
Wade to certain GOP candidates and lawmakers.First in the firing line was Ohio Senate hopeful J.D. Vance, the Trump-endorsed author of the book Hillbilly Elegy.“He’s not a hillbilly if he wrote a huge book,” said Lawrence of the rightwing venture capitalist.“Rich twat,” she continued. “I mean, I’m a rich twat, but I’m not running for office pretending that I’m not.”Lawrence said that in today’s deeply divided United States, it was impossible to sit on the fence and be apolitical.“I’ve tried to get over it and I really can’t.
I can’t. I’m sorry I’m just unleashing, but I can’t fuck with people who aren’t political anymore,” she continued.“You live in the United States of America.
You have to be political. It’s too dire. Politics are killing people.”Related: JD Vance blames his age for saying “stupid” things dissing TrumpLawrence supported the Democrats in 2016 and 2020.
