Meanwhile, in a post on TikTok on Wednesday, Roan announced she would be voting for Kamala Harris, though she noted she does not agree with all the current administration’s policies and stopped short of endorsing Harris.
“I don’t agree with a lot of what is going on with like policies – like, obviously, f*** the policies of the right, but also f*** some of the policies on the left,” she said.
“F*** Trump, for f***ing real, but f*** some of the shit that has gone down in the Democratic party that has failed people like me and you – and more so Palestine, and more so every marginalized community in the world,” she said. “So yeah – I’m voting for f***ing Kamala, but I’m not settling for what has been offered, because that’s questionable.”

I think it’s worth noting that this article would not exist if she wasn’t so vocal about how awful both parties are, and how conflicted she is about voting for Harris. It’s her choice to use social media to share her opinions, but nobody should be surprised when those opinions become a lightening rod for these types of headlines. I agree that she should not be criticized for other family members’ views, but, right or wrong, it’s the price to pay when you are famous and outspoken. Hopefully she understands this by now.

Pop star Chappell Roan, who has declared she is voting for Kamala Harris in November, has an unexpected link to conservative politics.
The singer’s uncle, Darin Chappell, is a Republican state representative from Missouri who, this month, co-sponsored a bill to stop public funds going to abortion facilities in Missouri, according to his voting record.
While public funds were already prohibited from funding abortions in Missouri, the new legislation will now prevent any taxpayer money, including Medicaid reimbursements, from going to any abortion providers or their affiliates in the state. The bill was passed by the Missouri House and Senate, and officially took effect on August 28.
At the time, Missouri’s Republican Governor Michael Parson said in a press release: “Our administration has been the strongest pro-life administration in Missouri history. We’ve ended all elective abortions in this state, approved new support for mothers, expecting mothers, and children, and, with this bill, ensured that we are not sending taxpayer dollars to abortion providers for any purpose. We thank members of the General Assembly for recognizing this important issue and sending this legislation to my desk.”
Nearly all abortions were outlawed in Missouri almost two years ago after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. The only exception to the law in Missouri is when a pregnancy threatens the life of the mother. There are no exceptions for cases of rape and incest.
In November, Missouri voters are set to go to the ballot box to vote on Amendment 3, which would reverse the state’s near total abortion ban and guarantee the right to an abortion until fetal viability, which usually occurs around the 24-week mark.
Chappell has spoken out against the amendment, revealing in a Facebook post on Thursday that a family member suggested his wife could undergo an abortion when she fell pregnant with their daughter “too young.”
“I cannot imagine life without her with us, and I’m thankful we had the sense to ignore the ‘advice’ we got early on. But beyond my heartfelt love for her…,” Chappell wrote of his daughter. “Look at all the good She’s done, that the world would have missed, if we hadn’t been brave enough to just reject the pressure of a worldly perspective! I want to encourage you all, please, vote ‘No’ on Amendment 3.”
Chappell’s niece, Chappell Roan, who is also known as Kayleigh Rose Amstutz, has not spoken out about her views on abortion or Amendment 3.

Remember folks, you can pick your nose, you can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose. You also can’t pick your family.

This election is between Trump a fascist dictator on day one with Project 2025 in his pocket vs Harris who doesn’t target gays, trans, PoC or immigrants and childless cat ladies as enemies of the state!
Is this supposed to be Chappell Roan’s defence of her horrible take that both political parties are equally bad? Her Uncle is MAGA? I have family members that are trumpers too. Doesn’t stop me from recognizing a fascist party and its american hitler presidential candidate.
If she can’t see the difference between dems and the Trump cult, she is either batshit insane or lying. Pick one.

Makes her comments even more insane. I love her music but she needs to shut up. This whole both parties are bad is so disingenuous and naive. Learn about the politics of our country then open your mouth. Also girl get a fucking pr agent, you’re embarrassing yourself.

She’s from southern Missouri so this is not a surprise at all. My home state of MO used to be sane and balanced when I was growing up, partly due to unions in St. Louis and KC. Now it is a solid red state run by some of the dumbest, most hateful people in the country.

This wouldn’t even be a story if she would just shut the fuck up on social media. Other celebrities that don’t endorse anyone keep their mouths shut, but she said some ignorant shit having said “both sides are bad” while championing trans rights. Girl, one party is actually going after trans individuals by making laws and the other side isn’t. She’s trying to speed run a career if she doesn’t get a PR rep.

I don’t really care about her family’s politics.
That said, her “both sides” pandering and lies about widespread and internalized transphobia from Democrats and willfully mispronouncing Kamala’s name and inability to articulate a legitimate alternative or any policies… that makes her look bad.
