A pro-Donald Trump podcaster sparked outrage by appearing to suggest Taylor Swift could be raped or killed by Venezuelan gangs after the singer announced she would endorse Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race.
Dave Rubin, a political commentator whose YouTube channel has nearly 2.5 million subscribers, told his audience Wednesday that he thinks Swift should reconsider her endorsement of the Democrat, which was announced after Tuesday night’s debate. between Harris and the former president.
Rubin was commenting on an X post from Elon Musk in which the tech mogul responded to Swift, 34,’s lengthy Instagram post, which she captioned “cat lady with no kids” — a possible dig at the controversial comments made by Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance. interpreted by many as contempt for childless women.
“Fine Taylor… you win… I’ll give you a baby and guard your cats with my life,” Musk, 53, posted on X to his 197 million followers.
It was not clear whether Musk, who has often spoken of the need to increase the human population in light of declining birth rates, meant he would impregnate Swift or give her one of his 12 children. .
“So he’s making fun, he’s exposing the ridiculous,” Rubin said of Musk’s tweet.
“It’s like, Taylor Swift, you’re a young, beautiful girl. Do you know what Venezuelan gang members do with young and beautiful girls? It’s not pretty.”
Trump and his supporters have claimed that violent criminals have been released from prisons in Venezuela and immigrated to the United States, where they managed to enter the country under the Biden administration’s lax border policies.
Reactions on X were chilling, with one commenter writing: “This guy is crazy.”
Another X user wrote: “Between Dave Rubin and Elon Musk’s responses to Taylor Swift supporting Harris, they really aren’t getting over the weird creepy allegations.”
“Thank you Dave Rubin for helping motivate millions of Taylor Swift fans to get out and vote!” wrote another X poster.
The Post has sought comment from Rubin.
Swift posted an Instagram post on Tuesday saying she plans to vote for Harris because “she fights for rights and causes that I believe need a fighter to stand up for them.”
“I’ve done my research and made my choice. Your research is yours to do, and the choice is yours to make. I also want to say, especially for first-time voters: Remember that you must be registered to vote!”. Swift wrote to her 283 million followers.
“I also see that it is much easier to vote early. I will link where I register and find early voting dates and information in my history.”
