Angie Harmon slammed by conservative fans over feminism shirt: 'You went to the dark side'


Cydney Henderson, USA TODAY Published 12:04 a.m. ET Aug. 28, 2019

Angie Harmon took to Instagram to celebrate Women’s Equality Day Monday, but her message was not well received by some in her conservative fan base.

Harmon – a Republican who spoke in support of President George W. Bush at the 2004 Republican National Convention – caught some heat from followers after posting a picture of herself wearing a T-shirt that reads, "Feminism is for everybody."

Although Harmon received praise from some fans, others took issue with her feminist ideology, even accusing her of going to the "dark side."

"So sad…I thought you were conservative. You went to the dark side," user @crusaderwade wrote, while @strongking86 added, "I believe Feminists hate men they’re jealous of men they wish that they were men."

willing to be an *anti-Trump* asshole, then I would happily embrace her... as an asshole who is nonetheless anti-Trump.

Good job, hypothetical anti-Trump Angie Harmon!

And if not... go f--k yourself, possibly pro-Trump allegedly-feminist Angie Harmon!

I have no idea why they call that 'news'.

I am not having a go at the OP for posting. At all.

I am having a go at USA Today for lazy lazy 'reporting'.

The author graduated from Arizona State University Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Somehow I do not think Cronkite would be stooping to this level of 'journalism.'


cynical rant /off
