Sadie Robertson Shares Her Thoughts on Trump in Light of Recent Scandals
Despite the release of a sexually explicit audio recording and several subsequent sexual assault allegations, one of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s youngest female supporters recently revealed she still supports the embattled billionaire.
Reality television personality Sadie Robertson shared her take on the contentious election cycle when a reporter for The Huntsville (Ala.) Times asked if she continued to stand by the endorsement she made in August.
“That’s a good question,” the Duck Dynasty star said. “I would say yes, I would be voting for Trump.”
Robertson went on to explain that her support for the real-estate developer does not mean she supports his behavior.
“It doesn’t mean that I agree with everything he says or that he’s a moral person,” she said, “but in the end it comes down to two people.”
The 19-year-old, who was the runner-up in Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars, is not the only member of her famous family to publicly back Trump.
Her father, Willie Robertson, supported Trump during the primary. Family patriarch Phil Robertson endorsed the former reality television host after his first choice, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, suspended his campaign.
“For me and my family,” Sadie Robertson said, “we agree with what Trump wants to do with America.”
She went on to describe the unique opportunity she has as a celebrity to influence others as a responsibility she does not take lightly.
“It’s a huge honor, honestly,” she said, adding she is thankful her position allows her to share her Christian faith with a wide audience.
“When people have told me I’m a role model,” Robertson explained, “it makes me excited, because I’m going to share the good news.”
While Trump’s current controversies cost him some support among women, Robertson is hardly the only prominent female to continue openly endorsing the GOP nominee.
Patricia Smith, whose son was among the four Americans killed in the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, is one such supporter. She is expected to be one of Trump’s guests in the audience for the final presidential debate on Wednesday.
