Actress who has become a conservative political commentator Stacey Dash said she has reconsidered her zealous support for former President Donald Trump, condemns the January 6 riots at the United States Capitol and will give President Joe Biden a chance.
“Being a supporter of Trump put me in some kind of box that I don’t belong to. But he is not the president. I am going to give the president that we have now a chance,” said Dash in an exclusive statement interview with DailyMailTV. “We have a new president,” he added.
Dash, 54, who made her name playing Dionne Davenport in the 1995 teen film “Clueless”, worked as a collaborator on Fox News until 2016. During her time as a paid collaborator, she drew criticism when she said there was no longer a need for programs awards or television networks that honor the black community.
Dash also said that he thought Black History Month should be abolished because there is not a month of White History.
Dash was suspended from Fox for cursing in the air while discussing a speech by former President Barack Obama on terrorism. His contract was subsequently not renewed.
“I lived my life in anger, which is what I was on Fox News. I was the conservative and angry black woman. And at that time in my life I was who I was,” Dash told DailyMailTV.
But, she said, “I’m not a victim of anyone. Working for Fox at the time, that was my job. I did my job where I was. Stacey now would never work for Fox, would never work for a company. news network or a news contributor. “
“There are things I regret. Things I said, that I shouldn’t have said the way I did. They were very arrogant, proud and angry. And that is what Stacey was, but he was not who Stacey is now. Stacey is someone who have compassion, empathy, “she continued.
In February 2018, the actress who became a conservative political commentator filed the paperwork to run for Congress in Southern California, but withdrew her candidacy a month later, telling Cosmopolitan magazine that holding an elected office would be “detrimental to the my family’s health and well-being. “
At the start of his run, Dash said on MSNBC that Trump was “absolutely right” when he said there were “very good people on both sides” at the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.
“You also had people who were very good people on both sides. You have people in that group – excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures as you – you had people in that group who were there to protest the overthrow of, for them, a very important statue, and changing the name of a Robert E. Lee park to another name, “said Trump.
In defense of the then president, Dash said to Ari Melber, “I know everyone in the neo-Nazi party – whether they have a good heart or not? No, I don’t, I’m not here to judge.”
But Dash does not advocate the recent Capitol revolt.
“I think the disturbances at the Capitol were terrible,” she said. “When that happened, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m done. I really did. ‘ Because I report senseless violence of any kind. What happened on January 6 was just terrible and stupid. “
Although Dash said she did not “believe in identity politics”, her private policy left her without an acting job, she said.
“I was basically blacklisted. Being a black conservative is not easy,” said Dash.
She recently played a doctor in the anti-abortion film “Roe v. Wade”.
She said that her position on abortion stems from her “personal experience”.
“I was at the abortion table with my son,” she said. But “God spoke to me like thunder and said, ‘Stay with your son.'”
“My son is 30 years old today. I am very grateful to have enjoyed this time and to have heard God. That is why I am pro-life from my own personal experience ”, she concluded.
And on another hot topic: “I’m not a feminist,” said Dash.
“At the moment I feel that women need to support men, lift them up, love them and respect them. On the other hand, it is a two-way street. If men want us to do that, they have to respect us, appreciate us, adore us, love us. We cannot do one without the other. We need each other, “said Dash.
Dash and his managers did not immediately respond to requests for additional comments.
