"Cheating on husbands"

Julia Roberts makes Trump voters furious

"Remember, what happens in the voting booth stays in the voting booth," Oscar winner Julia Roberts encourages women to make a personal, uninfluenced decision in the voting booth. This pisses off Trump supporters ...

Hollywood's A-list is (almost) united behind presidential hopeful Kamala Harris. Barbra Streisand, Leonardo DiCaprio and Taylor Swift - they have all already spoken out in favor of the 60-year-old. But Donald Trump's supporters have chosen "Pretty Woman" Julia Roberts as their target. The reason is a new election campaign video.

The video has Republicans fuming with rage. The clip's message allegedly incites female Trump voters to commit "voter fraud" against their husbands.

The background: as the curtailment of abortion rights is considered one of the most important issues in the presidential election, Harris is counting on a large majority of women's votes in the country. As Trump will unite the majority of men behind him, the Democrat is now trying to win over Republican women to her side.

This is precisely the aim of a video circulating on social media (see above), which was produced by the non-profit organization "Vote Common Good".

It shows a polling station where a woman wearing a patriotic peaked cap steps up to the ballot box. Robert's voice can be heard in the background: "There is one place in America where women are still free to choose ... Who they vote for."

One of the waiting husbands asks his wife: "Did you make the right choice, darling?" The wife replies with a smile: "Definitely".

Then you can see how one of the two women is about to tick Donald Trump's name. Instead, she makes eye contact with the voter opposite her in the booth. Robert's voice rings out again: "No one will ever know."

"Did you make the right choice, honey?"
At the same time the women make their crosses at Kamala Harris, both go back to their waiting husbands. One asks: "Did you make the right choice, darling?" The wife replies with a smile: "Definitely." Roberts' voice is heard off-screen: "Remember, what happens in the voting booth, stays in the voting booth."

Conservative America is raging
"Fox News" presenter Jesse Watters rants: "If I found out my wife actually voted for Harris, it's like she's having an affair." The right-wing populist influencer and Trump ally Charlie Kirk criticized that the commercial made him "sick to his stomach". He then followed up with a sexist rant about X: "A husband works hard to finance his wife's lifestyle. And then this wife lies to him about who she voted for - thereby stabbing her husband in the back!"

On X, the comments column below the video was even more powerful. One man wrote: "If my wife does this, I'll kick her out!" And a commenter named Sha Kramer attacked the Harris page for "creating marital crises and undermining husbands".

"Donald Trump wants to protect us"
 But women are also complaining about the ad. Many female Trump supporters accused Roberts of spreading "left-wing prejudices against conservative wives as slaves to their husbands" and "hate propaganda against Donald Trump - who wants to protect us women".
