Fox News leads reports that Kamala paid celebrities millions for endorsements. If true, it begs the question: What price patriotism, and how much friggin’ money do they need?! This would also be a masterclass in A-list greed and political tone-deafness. And it might explain how this campaign could burn through $1 billion and still lose. But don’t be surprised if celebrities become to politics what Catholic priests have become to religion.
Whatever the case, the likes of Oprah, George Clooney, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, and even the Obamas owe it to their fans – and, frankly, their reputations – to set the record straight. It reeks of consciousness of guilt that none have tweeted indignant outrage and denial.
It’s bad enough that so many Kamala A-listers were upstaged by Trump Z-listers. But Kamala paying these stars so much for a lost cause would doom the value of fame. In politics, as in showbiz, reputation is everything. These celebrities must deny these reports – or be damned.
