Amber Rose, once known as the girlfriend of Kanye West, surprised many with her recent political stance.
The model and TV personality took the stage at the Republican National Convention (RNC), endorsing Donald Trump and claiming the media has misrepresented him.
Rose addressed the crowd on the first day of the convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, shortly after Trump made a dramatic entrance with a bandaged ear following an assassination attempt.
Trump also announced Ohio Senator JD Vance as his vice-presidential pick. Rose passionately said,
I'm here tonight to tell you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United States.
In her speech, Rose criticized the media, stating,
I care about the truth, and the truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump.
She admitted she once believed the negative portrayals of Trump but changed her mind after attending his rallies and meeting his supporters.
I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're Black, white, gay, or straight. It's all love,
she said.
And that's when it hit me: These are my people. This is where I belong.
Rose described overcoming her fear of judgment and openly supporting Trump. She shared an anecdote about meeting Trump and former first lady Melania, calling them ''kind and generous and funny as hell'' and ''gracious and smart.''
Rose asserted that the economy was better under Trump, saying,
When you go to the store to buy food for your family, you're shocked; when you fill up your gas tank, you're p***ed. I know I am. And when you turn on the news, you are just exhausted, inflation is out of control.
Rose's endorsement is notable given her past criticisms of Trump. In 2016, she called him a ''f****** idiot'' and hoped he wouldn't become president. Yet, in May this year, she endorsed Trump for the 2024 election, even sharing a photo with him and Melania on Instagram.
Sarafina Chitika, a spokesperson for the Biden-Harris campaign, responded to Rose's speech, stating,
Amber Rose is right about one thing: research is important. Since we're talking about facts, we brought receipts: Rose said American families were better off when Trump was president � and if she's talking about his billionaire donors, she's right. But for Black communities, it's the opposite story: Black unemployment, Black uninsured rates, and crime rates skyrocketed under Trump's leadership, because the truth is simple � Donald Trump doesn't care about us, our lives, or our livelihoods. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to line the pockets of millionaires like Rose at the expense of actual Black communities, and those are the facts.
Rose's support for Trump has sparked intense debate, especially given her activism against sexual violence, including the Los Angeles "SlutWalk." Her endorsement has shocked many and highlighted her significant shift in political views.
