Shania Twain apologizes for saying she would have voted for Donald Trump

Shania Twain apologized for her comments and clarified she does "not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President":

I would like to apologise to anybody I have offended in a recent interview with the Guardian relating to the American President. The question caught me off guard. As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context

I am passionately against discrimination of any kind and hope it’s clear from the choices I have made, and the people I stand with, that I do not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President

I was trying to explain, in response to a question about the election, that my limited understanding was that the President talked to a portion of America like an accessible person they could relate to

My answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values nor does it mean I endorse him. I make music to bring people together. My path will always be one of inclusivity, as my history shows.

Country star, Canadian citizen and Swiss resident Shania Twain did not vote in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, but she has indicated that she would have voted for Donald Trump if she had the opportunity to do so.

The singer discussed her long absence from recording and performing in the 2000s and an abrupt shift to American politics when she mentioned her vote would've gone to Trump.

"I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest," she says of Trump. "Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don’t want bulls---. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent."

Another coward. I wish these people would stop speaking something they obviously believe and then apologize after the bullies on the left go after them. Seriously, they need to just shut up in the first place.

Not much worse than fellow Canadian Jordan Peterson on the Bill Maher show.

Somehow Canadians seem to think you must first stipulate the rank racism and evil and craziness of Trump to have any credibility in speaking on US politics.

In so many cases, as in this one, the apology does far more damage than just allowing the original statement to stand.

I guess her hairdresser got to her. Say ‘good-night’ Shania.

Who can blame her? I blame her - she shouldn’t open her big, ugly mouth if she isn’t going to stand by her convictions. For that matter, singers and actors should just keep their mouths shut and sing and act.

I don’t think she had any or has any political convictions. She’s a nice singer, and has mostly kept her mouth shut when it comes to political talk.

Sweet kid.

She didn't expect the tidal wave of PC nonsense.

“Otherwise I would say she just ‘Dixie-Chicked’ herself.”

My thoughts too. She was on a down hill slide before her comments, her remarks just sent her to the bottom a little quicker.

She’s just too dumb to know it.

Never apologize when you’re right. Once you apologize, they rush in for the kill. Give them the finger.
