Stacey Dash #WalkAway

Actress Stacey Dash recounted for #WalkAway demonstrators gathered in the Washinton, DC, rain Saturday the backlash from her turn away from the Democrat Party under then-President Barack Obama.
“Make America great again!” she declared to the crowd. Dash spoke to the hundreds gathered from a remote location, but was broadcast live on a giant screen at the rally. “Thank god for Brandon Straka for unifying us,” she said of the #WalkAway organizer.

“it’s about our principles,” she told them, adding, “what better president do we have than Mr. Donald Trump?” She described president Trump as a man who doesn’t define people by the color of their skin.

“We’re asking you to walk away so you can be free,” she told the crowd.

“I was a Democrat, got talked into voting for Obama,” Dash recounted. “He divided us.” She called Obama the “trojan horse of the democratic party.”

“Then comes [2016 Democrat presidential nominee] Hillary Clinton? What, are we stupid?” she rhetorically asked the crowd. She then said what they did instead was ”we picked Donald Trump.”

“I just talked to a bunch of youth who are going to keep America great,” Dash said of her speech at the Young Black Leadership Summit.

“Have the courage to stand and understand this fear mongering is not going to wor … they’re not going to bully us,” she told the crowd.

Dash recounted tweeting out support in 2012 for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and the extreme backlash she received for it. “Everything changed, I was a house n*gga… I was blacklisted from Hollywood, I was called a black white supremacist by Chelsea Handler.”

“They’re not democratic, they’re democrats,” Dash clarified, adding that they’re not tolerant. “We have to be tolerant.”

“They play checkers, we play chess,” she said, saying Republicans have to be three moves ahead and have to “do it together.”

“We don’t want a bunch of free stuff. We want to work for it … that builds out character,” declared Dash. “Identity comes from what’s inside.”

Dash is a black American actress who has spoken out publicly on coming out as a Republican and the personal and professional retribution she faced for it. In 1995 she starred in the cult classic movie Clueless as Dionne. She is also the author of There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative.

Saturday’s #WalkAway March on Washington had been hyped for months by Fox News and other conservative outlets.

The event—organized by a gay man named Brandon Straka who claims he was a liberal until being converted to Republicanism by Donald Trump—drew what supporters called “thousands” but which appeared to be only a handful of people at some points during the event’s livestream. Speakers included Clueless co-star Stacey Dash.

The event ended fittingly, with a folk singer named J.T. Wilde singing a song about the QAnon conspiracy theory to a few dozen people, several of whom sang along to his chorus of “Where We Go One, We Go All” after his intense prompting.

“They call us deplorable/and we love the name/ the bodies are in the dirt/and they need someone to blame,” Wilde sang. “They call it a conspiracy/cuz it’s the one last lie/we know who they are/and we’ve got them in our sights.”

Why do you feel the need to describe the gentleman as being gay? @RodionRomanovitch

@jackjjackson I didn't , I copied and pasted it , just like you did.

You didn’t have to copy and paste that part. So are you a racist in addition to being a homphobe? 😲 @RodionRomanovitch

@jackjjackson Ooh I guess I must be then , thanks for pointing it out ..... I'd never have known otherwise.

Seriously though I predict that #WalkAway is the beginning of a huge movement. @RodionRomanovitch
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@jackjjackson I had heard that the whole #WalkAway thing was actually another Russian bot invention.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Sounds like a planned dem talking point. @RodionRomanovitch
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@jackjjackson I dunno. I heard it a long time ago but since have heard that maybe they weren't actually responsible for its creation but weren't slow either in jumping on the bandwagon. Whatever , going by that meagre audience today I don't see your prediction of a huge movement becoming true.

Seems reminiscent of the 2016 polling lol. @RodionRomanovitch
