Chappell Roan Clarifies Stance on Election: Not Voting for Trump, Will Stand Up for What's Right

“I have encouraged people to use critical thinking skills, learn about what they’re voting for, learn about who they’re voting for and ask questions,” she says at the start of the video, before stating what she previously said was being “completely taken out of context.
“There is nuance in what I say in interviews, and I think it’s important that people use critical thinking. I think it’s important for me to question authority and question world leaders, and question myself, question my algorithm, question if some person that tweeted something about someone else is even true,” she continued. “It’s important to question because that’s how I think we move forward. This is my third election in voting and the world is changing so rapidly, and I want to be part of the generation that changes things for good.”
“If you come to my shows, if you read my full interviews, if you literally know anything about what I stand for, you know that this is not lip service, this is not virtue signaling, that my actions have always paved the way for my project and the people who really know me,” Chappell said. “Actions speak louder than words and actions speak louder than an endorsement.”
After re-reading the full quote from the previous interview, and while not fully endorsing VP Kamala Harris, she reiterated, “Hear it from my mouth, if you’re still wondering. No, I’m not voting for Trump. And yes, I will always question those in power and those making decisions over other people, and I will stand up for what’s right and what I believe in, and it’s always at the forefront of my project.”
