Will Ferrell Stars in Campaign Video Threatening White Males Who Refuse to Vote for Harris to Keep Trump Out of Office
James Gordon, Daily Mail, November 3, 2024
Actor and comedian Will Ferrell has been recruited by the Harris campaign in a last ditch effort to convince voters to head out to the polls on Tuesday to vote for her.
In a short, 30 second clip, Ferrell attempts to use scare tactics as he states how during the 2020 presidential election Joe Biden only managed to keep Donald Trump out of office by just a ‘few thousand votes’.
It is the latest attempt by Kamala Harris to use A-list celebrities to help with her run for office which has seen some of the biggest names in entertainment come out to support her both online and at rallies including Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen.
‘This election is going to be one of the closest in history your vote will make the difference – that means you Gary…,’ Ferrell begins as he addresses the camera directly.
‘Last time only a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office and this time we will hold you personally responsible,’ Ferrell threatens, while seemingly addressing an apathetic voter by the name of Gary.
‘Gary don’t forget to vote Gary!’ he urges before the video ends.
Last week, Ferrell teamed up with comedian Billy Eichner as part of a final push for votes by the Harris campaign with the videos pulling in more than 100 million views so far.
Eichner and Ferrell took to the streets of New York as ‘loud white men for Kamala,’ wearing matching t-shirts.
The pair screamed in the faces of several New Yorkers walking down the streets asking them who they were voting for and if they would ‘sleep with a Trump voter.’
‘We are out here today to represent a very important voting demographic, loud white men for Kamala Harris,’ Eichner says as the video begins with Ferrell by his side.
The pair run around and screamed at several men and women who they ask to ‘join the call.’
Many of those they spoke to expressed support for the vice president to take the highest office in the nation, as they encouraged one man to scream, ‘I support Kamala.’
Another told the celebrities he had already submitted a mail-in ballot for Harris.
At another point, Eichner joked that Harris would make ‘Buddy the Elf Secretary of Christmas,’ referring to Ferrell’s role in the Christmas film Elf.
They even asked two women whether they would ever ‘sleep with a Trump voter,’ to which one woman replied ‘no,’ while another made a grunting sound.
Eichner said that he decided to resurrect the comedy bit to ‘do everything we possibly can to protect Americans from Donald Trump in these crucial final days of Early Voting and exactly one week before Election Day.’
Both Eichner and Ferrell have been vocal about their support of Harris, with Eichner taking to Instagram last week with a video sharing his thoughts.
‘It’s time to f***ing panic – and not just panic, but to do something about it,’ he said.
Eichner went on to call former President Donald Trump a ‘rapist’ and ‘nepo baby.’
‘We cannot let what happened with Hillary in 2016 to happen again,’ he said, adding: ‘The polls are not good.’
‘Please do what you can because we’ll live to regret it if we don’t.’
Two days out from Election Day, Kamala Harris dashed through four stops across the battleground state of Michigan on Sunday.
At a Michigan State University rally, Harris got a rousing response when she asked who had already voted and then gave students another job – to encourage their friends to cast ballots in a state that allows Election Day voter registration.
And instead of her usual speech riffs about Trump being unstable, unhinged and out for unchecked power, Harris sought to contrast her optimistic tone with the darker message of the Republican opponent she did not name.
It was all in service of trying to boost her standing in one of the Democratic ‘blue wall’ states in the Midwest considered her smoothest potential path to an Electoral College majority.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump delivered a profane and conspiracy-laden speech on Sunday talking about reporters being shot and suggesting he ‘shouldn’t have left’ the White House after his 2020 loss.
In remarks Sunday that bore little resemblance to the speech he’s been delivering at his recent rallies, the former president repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and resurrected old grievances after trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat.
Trump intensified his verbal attacks on what he cast as a ‘demonic’ Democratic Party and the American media, steering his rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at one point to the topic of violence against members of the press.
He noted the ballistic glass that is used to protect him at outdoor events after a gunman’s assassination attempt in July and pointed to openings between the panels.
‘I have this piece of glass here,’ he said. ‘But all we have really over here is the fake news. And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don´t mind that so much.’
