Amber Rose, still talking politics.
00:03
This was not just, and she said this, this was not a one-off her appearance at the Republican
00:08
National Convention.
00:10
She is really interested in the issues and she is paying attention and has continued
00:14
to pay attention throughout the campaign season.
00:17
So maybe not fully.
00:19
She's paying attention.
00:20
I guess the question is, to what?
00:21
Is she paying attention to the right things?
00:23
This is the discussion that, she was at LAX yesterday and a photographer went up to her
00:28
and wanted to talk to her about knowing that she is a Trump supporter, asking her what
00:34
she felt about people saying that Donald Trump and JD Vance are racist because of this.
00:39
The cats and dogs.
00:40
The cats and dogs being eaten in Springfield, Ohio by Haitian immigrants.
00:44
Which is not true.
00:45
Which is not true.
00:46
And even they have backed off of saying it publicly as much because it has been shot
00:50
down every time they bring it up.
00:53
Here was Amber's reaction when this photographer tried to bring this up with her.
00:58
That is not racist.
01:00
When something is true, it's worth saying it online.
01:03
It just so happens to be Haitians who are like, oh, that's racist.
01:06
And if they're actually eating cats, how is that racist?
01:09
Because that's people of their color.
01:11
But because it's online, it doesn't make it true, right?
01:13
I mean, anybody can post anything online.
01:15
People have that argument, right?
01:16
But if people are saying, hey, I had a cat and I saw my cat, my cat was dead, hanging
01:22
from someone's house, right, then that is their, that makes them see their own cat.
01:26
I know my own pets.
01:27
I've never seen any proof and that's where I'm just, that's where I'm stuck here, you
01:31
know?
01:32
We never took any proof online, but love God for the day, pray to God every day.
01:39
How do you even respond?
01:40
Look, again, by the way, you should go to the website, it's a much longer clip.
01:45
It went on, it actually got a little contentious at times, but yeah, I felt for the photographer
01:51
because I was thinking he was trying to be gentle in what he said, but it just wasn't
01:56
cutting through.
01:57
I mean, this is not a political thing in terms of supporting one candidate or the other,
02:01
but that's just not, it's not true about the cats and dogs, eating cats and dogs.
02:06
And there's no proof of it.
02:08
And she's saying, well, when she says, you haven't seen God either, but you got to believe
02:12
in God, it's like, how does that align?
02:15
Okay, that metaphor aside, I think there's something.
02:16
Well, the metaphor is important.
02:18
But there's something she said there that I think is really critical for the remainder
02:22
of this campaign season.
02:24
She is saying that she believes this because she's seen on social media that there are
02:29
people who are saying things and you heard the photographer say, yeah, but they're just
02:34
saying it.
02:35
There's no proof of this.
02:36
And if you're just going to believe everything that you read online and not actually dig
02:42
into where it's coming from and find some actual proof.
02:45
I think she's digging in because she doesn't want to say Trump and Vance were wrong.
02:51
And if you know, it's really interesting because I do watch cable news and they have even on
02:57
like CNN.
02:58
Well, not an MSNBC because they don't have Republicans on it, but on CNN, they do have
03:04
some Republicans on and they break with Trump on certain issues, even if they support it.
03:10
Right.
03:11
And it makes them more effective.
03:12
I think the problem here is that this is and and it actually is is hurt the Republicans
03:18
because it's allowed the Democrats to say, hey, that's not true, specifically talking
03:22
about the cats and dogs.
03:23
There is an actual issue that is happening in Springfield and a lot of other immigration.
03:28
Exactly.
03:29
That you have you have taken, you know, tens of thousands of people from a different country
03:33
and dropped them into one place.
03:35
And that has had real world impact.
03:37
So I think the Republicans here and Donald Trump did a disservice in in making this just
03:43
about the cats and dogs because it's allowed the Democrats to say, hey, that's not true.
03:47
That's right.
03:48
There's a real issue here and should have attention paid to it.
03:51
But it's not the cats and the dogs here from Georgia.
03:55
When Amaral speaks, honestly, my ears close.
03:58
I don't see how you could say something so strongly with zero proof.
04:03
She wants people to do research when it's clear that she hasn't done any herself, because
04:07
the question she asks, she can Google and see that she's wrong.
04:12
And she can also see why the rhetoric is racist.
04:15
The problem is when you say people say, do your research.
04:18
Well, some people think that research is scrolling through Instagram.
04:21
Right.
04:22
And it's.
04:23
And especially when it's devoid.
04:25
I mean, sometimes sometimes Instagram can have.
04:28
Sometimes it is accurate, but not here.
04:30
But you've got to go somewhere else to independently confirm it.
