‘I Don’t Want It!’: Cardi B Scorches Trump’s ‘Like It Or Not’ Pledge At Harris Rally
Cardi B took down Donald Trump’s pledge that he’ll protect women “whether the women like it or not” in energetic remarks at a rally for Kamala Harris on Friday.
“Well if his definition of protection is not the freedom of choice, if his definition of protection is making sure our daughters have fewer rights than our mothers then I don’t want it,” said Grammy Award-winning rapper before singing “I don’t want it” amid cheers at the campaign event in West Allis, Wisconsin.

Cardi endorsed the vice president after she criticized President Joe Biden last year for backing foreign military aid to Ukraine and Israel while $120 million in proposed budget cuts loomed over schools in her native New York City.
The rapper, who backed Biden’s 2020 campaign and supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in prior years, declared at the time that she wouldn’t endorse a presidential candidate ever again.
On Friday, she got “real” with the Wisconsin crowd and revealed that she wasn’t going to vote in the election this year.

“But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind completely,” Cardi said.
“I did not have faith on any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country.”
Cardi, elsewhere in her speech, described Trump as a “hustler.”
“But hustling women out of their rights to their bodies is nasty work,” said the rapper of the GOP nominee, who has praised Supreme Court justices for showing “heart and strength” in their overturning of Roe v. Wade.
“Hustling Americans out of their hard-earned money by selling Trump watches, Trump sneakers and Trump Bibles — by the way, the watches is $100,000. Yeah, yeah, made in China, another country he’s discredited — is nasty, too.”
