Singer Gloria Gaynor‘s recent financial support for Republican politicians seemingly made her the perfect candidate for the upcoming Kennedy Center Honors hosted by President Donald Trump.
According to Federal Election Commission records, the Grammy winner known for the disco anthem “I Will Survive” donated nearly $22,000 to right-wing politicians and groups from August 2023 to June of this year. The records show Gaynor — under her birth name Gloria Fowles — donated hundreds or thousands of dollars to the campaigns for Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, among others.
Primarily using the Republican fundraising platform WinRed, Gaynor also made contributions to groups such as the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the Black, conservative New Journey Political Action Committee. Prior to 2023, the records show Gaynor’s only other donation was in 2016 to Ben Carson’s presidential campaign, right before he dropped out of the race.

She will survive!
WOW, she deserves an award!
Left wing Yahoo is throwing mud on Gaynor’s nomination. Despicable. Yahoo never looked into how much was donated by Biden’s nominees.
Good for her. To the Democrats, she’s essentially saying, “Go. Walk out the door. Turn around. You’re not welcome anymore.”
Remember in the minds of commies you are not really black unless you vote commie
I’m sure KISS did too, and I would wager that the other Kennedy Center Award winners did too. So your point is what?
It appears they are honoring talented people and logical thinkers. Refreshing that we are not honoring kooks per usual.
Yes, instead of mediocrity.
What a songbird! 🙂🙂 I remember when Mike Huckabee interviewed Gloria Gaynor on his old show on Fox. She’s a truly classy lady
She’s just too good to be true!
Hey! Hey!
Funny and ironic at the same time....i was never a fan of that song yet noticed if it was played at a club or a wedding i was at, the chicks on hand loved that song- it was kind of an anthem for them....
Yet here we are- a woman that sang a song that was an anthem for other women giving tons of $$$ to Donald Trump and MAGA- because you know- as the left and media tell everyone- we hate women!!
“. . . donated nearly $22,000 to right-wing politicians and groups . . ..”
RIGHT-WING? How about simply conservatives or Republicans (not necessarily the same things)?
One of the pairs in the Winter Olympics (I don’t recall whether it was pairs figures or ice dancing) used that song.
Their choreography didn’t seem to match the song at all.
At the end they embraced and held their arms up (as most if not all do).
It would have been a refreshing change of pace if she had slapped him across the face at the end.
We could always publish all of the “talents” that donate to communists (pretty much all of the Demoncraps).
Can we imagine a similar breathy report about all those previous lefty Kennedy honorees?
My only recollection of Gloria Gaynor was that she had great legs......or was that Mitzi Gaynor?
That would be Tina Turner!
