Matt Walsh is a conservative right wing pundit who runs the Daily Wire. He’s all in on MAGA and Trump.

In a new post to Twitter, Walsh warns Republicans that it’s useless for them trot out D list celebrities to help their cause.

Walsh is obviously referring to a few things that have just happened. One is Megan Thee Stallion performing at a Kamala Harris rally.

Also, night before last, a bunch of stars including Jeff Bridges and Mark Ruffalo helped the Harris campaign raise $4.4 million on their @DudesforHarris Zoom call that attracted 100,000 participants.

Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and other A list stars are lining up to help Harris and the Democrats. Julia Louis Dreyfus is using social media to support down ballot candidates.More and more of Hollywood is coming out for Harris — although George Clooney, who pushed to get Joe Biden to step away, hasn’t said a thing publicly. What’s up with that?

Walsh warns the GOP and MAGA, probably referring to the dreadful Lee Greenwood, as well as Ted Nugent, Scott Baio, Dennis Quaid, etc:

“Note for Republicans: Kamala has all of the big name entertainers on her side. All of them. And she hasn’t even pulled out the big guns yet (the Taylor Swift rally appearance will happen soon enough). Please do not try to counter this by parading around a bunch of washed up or obscure entertainers that nobody cares about. That just makes us look sad and irrelevant. Best to bow out of the celebrity competition and argue that we should focus on policy instead. It’s the only hand we have to play. It can work, but you undermine it if you make fun of Meghan Thee Stallion and then two days later start fan girling over some third rate celebrity endorsing Trump. We need consistent messaging on this.”
