Former Punk Rock Singer Ditches Democrats: I ‘Fell’ For ‘Their Lies’
Daily Fetched ^ | April 26, 2024 | Jason Walsh

Former Runaways front-woman Cheri Currie has denounced the Democrat Party in a lengthy rant on X, admitting she had fallen for their “lies.”

Best known as the lead vocalist for the 1970s teenage punk band, Currie embodied the anti-establishment mentality of that era, and had voted Democrat, until now.

Currie told her followers:

“It used to be PUNK, R&R to vote Democrat. I fell for it.”

Currie, who had previously advocated for the wearing of face masks in 2020, seems to have woken up to the reality that freedoms are being ripped away from Americans on a daily basis.

Curries continued:

“But when your party demands you live in fear, [squalor], beyond your means by just buying groceries, gasoline, disrespecting our veterans, our police, our elderly, supporting CRIMINALS, chaos, riots, Hamas, FAILING Israel, demeaning us at every turn!”

Currie then doubled down, writing:

“HURTING our CHILDREN! Wasting OUR MONEY. Ineptitude with every policy! Lies and more lies.. NO MORE! The Democrat Party can KISS MY A**. They don’t give a damn. That’s true.”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that things have become much worse for the average American since Joe Biden took office.

Currie’s rant is reflective of what most Americans are feeling.

She concluded:

“Voting Dem used to be cool. But now, it just makes you a FOOL.”

Currie’s post received positive responses.

One user commented:

“Punk to me was always anti-government and ‘the man’ democrats were always about more government. That hypocritical dichotomy always bothered me.”

Another wrote:

“Voting D used to mean that you are a free spirit. Now Democrats are the party of control.”

Supporting leftist ideology used to be “cool” because it was seen as anti-establishment.

However, in 2024, the complete opposite is true. Voting for Democrats makes you a freedom-hating, communist-loving tyrant.

I am glad she woke up, but the fact is you were ALWAYS a fool to vote for a Democrat.

The problem with most who vote Democrat is that they actually like being lied to.

Cherie Currie in 2010
Cherie Ann Currie The Runaways (Picture obviously dated as she's now 59)

Currie was born to Don Currie and actress Marie Harmon. She was raised in Encino, California. She has an identical twin sister, Marie Currie, an elder sister, actress Sondra Currie, and a brother, Don Currie Jr.

I personally have never heard of any of them.

I never complain when someone picks the red pill and discovers reality. But it could be that she’s still just being counter-cultural and that the culture has changed, not her.

The Runaways were pretty talented, but probably better after she left the band. She was an ok vocalist, but her cheesy lingerie outfits were part of the reason the band wansn’t taken seriously. The rest of the band, including Joan Jett and Lita Ford all rocked hard.

you’re pretty much in Orwellian territory when you’ve lost the punkers.

I had to deep search my memory banks to even remember who
The Runaways were.

So, she has a twin sister, who’s name is
“Marie Currie”, just like that very famous French Chemist
Marie Curie. The chemist Curie discovered elements Radium, Polonium, and made big contributions to finding treatments for cancer.

The Runaways was Joan Jett's original band as well.

Here are both Joan and Cherie, from back in the day.

They’re just willfully ignorant and naïve.
