A viral clip has been making the rounds on the Right — purporting to show music superstar Usher, during an appearance on The View, declining to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. But the full video tells a very different story.
Turning Points USA founder Charlie Kirk posted the clip on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday afternoon, writing, “Here’s Joy Behar trying to get Usher to say he’s voting for Kamala, and he basically says ‘no thanks.’”
In the clip, Behar is shown asking Usher his opinion on whether entertainers should publicly take a stand on the 2024 election.
“This emergency that we’re in, I think it behooves artists to come out and speak for Kamala against Donald Trump because he is an existential threat to the country,” Behar said. “What do you say to that?”
“You know what? I don’t get too deep into politics,” Usher replied. “I didn’t get a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an individual choice. And I think that you’re right. You have to look at the reality of the country that we are, and the country that we want to be, and find the candidate that you feel both are who fits the category of where we want to be. And that’s it. And that’s what you vote based off of. Who you highlight and how you choose to highlight on whatever platform you have is your prerogative.”
Prominent Right-wing accounts shared Kirk’s clip — and applauded Usher for his comments.
“Usher declined to endorse Kamala on ‘The View’ today too despite Joy Behar trying to get him to do so,” Outkick’s Clay Travis said. “Also told people to do their own research and register to vote. Again, it feels like a big change going on here.”
