Lady Gaga took aim at Donald Trump for his comments about “grabbing” women while appearing at a Joe Biden rally on Monday (2 November).
The day before the US headed to the polls for the US presidential election, the “Born This Way” singer appeared on the Democratic campaign trail with Biden in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
“Vote like your life depends on it, or vote like your children’s lives depends on it, because they do,” Gaga told the crowds.
The singer explicitly referenced to the infamous 2005 Access Hollywood tapes, in which Trump is heard boasting that “when you’re a star… you can do anything… grab ’em by the p***y”.
“To all the women, to all the men with daughters and sisters and mothers. Everybody, no matter how you identify, now is your chance to vote against Donald Trump, a man who believes his fame gives him the right to grab one of your daughters, or sisters, or mothers or wives by any part of their bodies,” Gaga implored the crowds.
“Vote for Joe. He’s a good person.”
Gaga officially shared her support for Biden on Saturday (31 October), after releasing a clip to Twitter dressed in military fatigues and leaning on a huge truck.
“I’m voting for America, which means I’m voting for Joe Biden,” she said in the clip.
In response to her partnership with Biden, Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh called Gaga an “anti-fracking activist”, with Trump telling his supporters on Monday: “Lady Gaga, oh, I could tell you a few stories about her… Lady Gaga is not too good.”
