Lady Gaga didn’t wait long to let everyone know where her political allegiances lay. The singer posted an Instagram endorsement of Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee.
“Nothing can keep a strong woman down,” Gaga captioned her picture. “VOTE for the first female US president in history. Shake it up America, this country needs a little rock n' roll.”
The responses on her Instagram are, um, slightly slanted towards Clinton’s still-running primary opponent. Though disappointing, they’re not exactly shocking. Sanders polls exceptionally well among young people, and Gaga’s supporters are primarily young people. Still, it’s a weird sight.
“As a feminist, and a liberal, I'm disappointed,” one user wrote. “$hillary is a shrew of a woman.”
“Sorry Lady the Bern is strong over here too,” another wrote. “I am a feminist and I can look at her equally as a person and see [s]he is not the one. War mongers who supports mass incarceration and fracking. Sorry I can't get behind her.”
“I'm a feminist & I'd love to finally have a female president but gender doesn't matter whoever would be the most suitable president is what we should primarily focus on,” another wrote.
Clinton herself released a little media earlier today in anticipation of her victory speech in New Jersey.
