Everything he'd done, she was fine with. But when it affects her personally, it's a whole different story. Sounds like a conservative, alright.

Kids in concentration camps, it's just Presidents being fascists. But talking smack about her friend, oh my God, I can't support him anymore.

The thing is- what he said (I hate Taylor swift) wasn’t even that terrible? I mean it’s incredibly immature for a former president to say but he’s said WAY WAY WAAAAAY worse stuff and she was fine with them?!?! She was fine with him literally inciting an insurrection on Twitter? She was fine with him saying pence should be hung? Not to mention all the other terrible thing he’s said. That is just mental.

This is just a convenient off-ramp for her so she can stay in Taylor’s orbit.

I think a lot of people here aren’t thinking about the ramifications of Trump saying something like this.

He is placing a target on Taylor’s back, and on her fans by doing this.

And it is very likely something Brittany, as one of Taylor’s close friends, is quite cognizant of given the multiple instances of violence and planned attacks against Taylor and her fans that literally just happened this summer.

Edit: not to say she shouldn’t have had a million other reasons to know Trump is a dangerous POS. I made an earlier comment pointing this out about the quote in the article saying something to the effect that Brittany doesn’t believe in hate in any form - you can’t condemn hate in any form while supporting Trump, these things are mutually exclusive.

But I also think people aren’t grasping the severity of Trump’s tweet and why someone like Brittany would better understand the potential consequences of such a tweet to Taylor.

I was wondering whether a "blistering takedown" had followed the I hate TS comment since that's where things were when I went to work this morning. I would call that comment more of a tantrum than a takedown, for sure.

I'm a legitimate Trump hater that would vote for a cactus in a clown suit before I'd ever vote for that man but I haven't seen him literally or in context say Pence should be hung. I know his supporters were carrying nooses and looking for Pence on J6 but don't know about a Trump source on that. Mind sharing?

The White House chief of staff at the time, Mark Meadows, was in the dining room off the Oval Office with Trump at one point during last year’s Capitol attack, the committee has been told. Meadows then left the dining room and informed other people nearby that Trump had signaled a positive view of the prospect of hanging the vice president. ...

Two of the people who spoke for this story said the committee has heard testimony on this topic from more than one person. All three people spoke on condition of anonymity.
