I’m no prude, but Amber Rose?
Really?
I can’t believe I’m saying this but Amber Rose is actually giving an amazing speech at the RNC right now. pic.twitter.com/xKSqmM4HqV

Don’t get me wrong; I’m actually kind of a fan. I grew up on late-2000s hip-hop, when she was a mainstay in pop culture. She’s one of the greatest video vixens to ever do it. But I’m 30; she’s hardly a figure that will drive first-time Gen-Z voters toward Republicans. Maybe the RNC should have put Livvy Dunne and Baby Gronk on stage instead.
The argument I’m hearing in her favor is that she adds “diversity.” To that, I say: is she even black?

Her father is apparently of Italian-Irish descent, while her mom is from a small island off the coast of West Africa where the official language is Portuguese. She’s from South Philly, however, and could arguably help to drive urban turnout there. She’s diverse through osmosis, I guess.
Others online are griping that she’s just a grifter with a fading career who turned to Daddy Trump to cling onto another 15 minutes of fame. That’s probably fair. “He’s just such an idiot. He’s so weird. I really hope he’s not president,” she said of Trump in 2016. But if prior political stances set the standard, then J.D. Vance wouldn’t be welcome either.

No, I couldn’t care less about what her motives are or even that the RNC put an obvious bimbo on stage as a first night headliner. My real gripe is the GIGANTIC FACE TATTOO!
The speech was actually not bad. But it was hard to pay attention as I couldn’t stop looking at the gigantic “Bash Slash” — whatever the hell that means — emblazoned on her forehead. Again, I’m no prude; I have an embarrassing tattoo from college myself. But this is a whole other level of embarrassment.
Not one Republican staffer had the nerve to walk over with some bronze concealer and say, “Hey, maybe you should put this on so you don’t scare grannies in Iowa.” Trump could have personally given her a spritz of the spray tan he surely carries with him for emergency touch-ups.

The brazen optics failure tells me just one thing: Republican men are way too horny. They were so busy looking at everything else that their eyes didn’t even make it up to her forehead until it was already too late.
