Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick voiced her opinion on social media via Andrew Tate's statement about Presidential candidate Kamala Harris' voters. Following President Joe Biden's announcement to exit the race for the White House, he picked Kamala Harris as the next candidate from the Democratic Party.
Patrick began her NASCAR career in 2010 after transitioning from the IndyCar Series. Over her seven-year stint, she competed in 191 Cup Series races, driving for Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR). She recorded seven top-10 finishes, with her best performance coming at the 2013 Daytona 500, where she finished P8, making history as the first woman to lead laps in that prestigious event.
As we get closer to election day, the fight for the presidency keeps getting more intense. Meanwhile, social media personality Andrew Tate, who is infamous for being tangled in controversies, recently spoke about Kamala Harris' vote bank. He said:
"If you want Kamala(Harris) to win, you are an idiot. I do not respect your opinion, you're a 100% stupid, you shouldn't be allowed to vote. You're genuinely dumb."
Sharing the post on her Instagram story, Patrick backed Tate's opinion, expressing her regard for people who speak their minds. She wrote:
"Andrew Tate is a very divisive personality... and I tend to really like people like this. I think it's because I love people who say what they want, regardless of the outcome. And I think he's right a lot. 🤷🏻♂"
After leaving NASCAR, Danica Patrick became a studio analyst for NBC Sports, covering the IndyCar Series, where she competed from 2005 to 2011. Alongside her media role, the 42-year-old entrepreneur owns two business ventures: Somnium, a vineyard in St. Helena, California, and a clothing line called 'Warrior by Danica Patrick'.
"I was a girl in a guy's sport": NASCAR driver Danica Patrick comments on why men shouldn't compete in women's sports
With the rise in the awareness and acceptance of the LGBTQ community, Danica Patrick has recently shared her thoughts on trans athletes competing in women's sports.
In a recent conversation with Codie Sanchez, who is a notable Wall Street investor, Patrick decoded the differences between men and women, and why men might have an advantage in such physically demanding sports.
"I was a girl in a guy's sport. There are some true hormonal physiological reasons why men should not compete in women's sports. When it comes to strength, when it comes to power, size, those things are really different. Men have at least 10 times the testosterone that women do, which is something that helps build lean muscle mass and gives you size and mass and power, it's totally unfair," she said.
This comes not too long after the controversy in the light welterweight boxing category of Women's Boxing in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Italy's Angela Carini abandoned the ring after suffering heavy blows from Algerian opponent Imane Khelif. However, Carini has since then apologized for her actions.
