Martha Stewart Gives Subtle Presidential Endorsement
Newsweek via MSN ^ | 09/15/24 | Sophie Hessekiel

After staying silent during the 2020 presidential election, Martha Stewart has announced that she will be voting for Kamala Harris in November.

While speaking to Joanna Coles of The Daily Beast at the 2024 Retail Influencer CEO Forum on Tuesday, September 10, the 83-year-old businesswoman and lifestyle icon said that unlike her opponent Donald Trump, Harris "doesn't hate New York" and "doesn't hate democracy."

Stewart endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2016, but in a 2020 interview with The New York Times spoke about her desire to remain neutral for the good of her magazine, Martha Stewart Living. "In terms of being the owner of the magazine," she asked the outlet, "how do you take sides when 50 percent of your readers might be on one side, and 50 percent on the other?"

Stewart did share that she would be voting for Harris, but declined to say much more on the subject. "I can't post anything about politics because first of all, the eyeballs of a parent company come and [I'll] get a call right away," she told Coles, the 62-year-old publishing executive.

Trump and Stewart were rivals in 2006, when they both hosted versions of reality series The Apprentice.

Per CNN, Stewart believed that she was going to "fire" Trump on air and take over as the only host of the show, but Trump decided to continue hosting. The businessman published an open letter in which he said Stewart "made this firing up," and that her "performance was terrible in that the show lacked mood, temperament and just about everything a show needs for success."

If she were so smart she wouldn’t need inside information to make money in the stock market.

I have never understood why she become some sort of icon. There is nothing special about her. Her products that Macy’s carried with her name on them were crap.

Cowardice.

No way they want her communistic tax increases

Or gun controls.

If I were Martha, I’d decry ALL Pols and their ilk for letting her go to prison for crimes they commit every day. Why she would pick a side would make me think logically which side she makes the most money from.

So she’s a victim who doesn’t care as long as she makes money. Ok.

I thought she had more brains, going from dumb to stupid. I hope some day someone will explain to me what is so intriguing about socialism.

Ms. Stewart...

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

She was a model. She had a cooking show. She had a magazine.
She was the ultimate image of the “perfect housewife” Stepford Wife.

My mother in law(now 80) subscribed to her magazine. I used to see it laying around their house.

I saw her Hinckley Picnic Boat in Seal Harbor up on Mount Desert Island last month.

Hey, Martha, shut up and cook!

Nobody want’s to hear a peep out of you!

unlike her opponent Donald Trump, Harris “doesn’t hate New York” and “doesn’t hate democracy.”

____________________________________________________

Trump doesn’t hate NY any where near as much as most Americans do. Although if anyone has a reason to hate NY (due to it’s corruption and judicial cronyism, it’s Trump). Secondly, there’s no single greater sign of Left-wing stupidity than the ill-considered phrase “Trump hates democracy”. No faction has done more to destroy political speech, the electoral process, and the value of a legitimate-citizens vote than the Democrat party.
