Pro-Trump podcaster Dave Rubin sparks outerage over Taylor Swift comment
A pro-Donald Trump podcaster sparked outrage after appearing to suggest Taylor Swift could be raped or killed by Venezuelan gangs after she announced she would support Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
Dave Rubin, a political commentator with about 2.5 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, told viewers on Wednesday that Swift should reconsider her endorsement of the Democratic candidate, which was announced after Tuesday night's debate between Harris and the former president.
Rubin was commenting on an Elon Musk X-post in which Musk responded to a lengthy Instagram post in which Swift signed off on the 34-year-old as a “kidfree pussy lady,” seemingly mocking controversial comments made by Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance that were interpreted by many as disparaging toward childfree women.

“Okay Taylor… you win… I'll give you my kids and I'll protect your cat with my life,” Musk, 53, said. Post to X To our 197 million followers.
It is not clear whether Musk, who has frequently spoken out about the need to increase the human population given falling birth rates, plans to impregnate Swift or give her one of his 12 children.
“So he's making fun of it and exposing its stupidity,” Rubin said of Musk's tweet.
“Taylor Swift, you're a young, pretty girl. Do you know what Venezuelan gang members do to young, pretty girls? That's not pretty.”
Trump and his supporters claim that violent criminals are being released from Venezuelan prisons and migrating to the U.S., where they are being successfully admitted into the country because of the Biden administration's lax border policies.

Swift posted on Instagram on Tuesday that she planned to vote for Harris, saying, “She's fighting for a right and a cause that I believe needs a warrior to defend it.”
“I have done my research and I have made a choice. You are responsible for your research and you are responsible for your choice. And to all those who are voting for the first time, remember you need to register to vote!” Swift wrote to her 283 million followers.
“We also found it much easier to vote early, and we'll link the registration locations, early voting dates and information to our stories.”
