Best-selling country music singer Shania Twain found herself in some hot water late Sunday night after she revealed she would have voted for Donald Trump in 2016.

In an interview with The Guardian, the Canadian national said she sees the value in President Trump’s political conduct.

“I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest,” Twain said. “Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don’t want bullsh*t. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent. And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?”

Social media promptly erupted into moral outrage. Thousands of tweets and comments flooded Twain’s timeline, criticizing the singer for even considering a vote for Trump.

I saw Shania Twain trending and thought she was dead. Turns out she supports Donald Trump. Ah, so it’s her career that’s dead. — Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) April 22, 2018

Canadian singer Shania Twain on Donald Trump: “I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest.” Ummm, sorry, but being an offensive loudmouth doesn’t make you honest. It just makes you an asshole. — Adam Best (@adamcbest) April 22, 2018

Shania Twain’s new Album will include… “Man! I feel like a woman but I’m not welcome in the military.” “You’re still the one with a Tiki Torch.” “Your MAGA Hat impressed me much.” “Damn (fill in minority). There goes the neighborhood!” — Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) April 22, 2018

Perhaps this lesson hasn’t reached Canada yet, but the sentiment is loud and clear down here in the U.S. Celebrities simply aren’t allowed to be conservative — or at least vocalize it.

So Twain issued an apology to anybody she may have offended on Sunday evening.

“I would like to apologise to anybody I have offended in a recent interview with the Guardian relating to the American President,” Twain tweeted. “The question caught me off guard. As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context.”

I am passionately against discrimination of any kind and hope it’s clear from the choices I have made, and the people I stand with, that I do not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President (2/4) — Shania Twain (@ShaniaTwain) April 22, 2018

I was trying to explain, in response to a question about the election, that my limited understanding was that the President talked to a portion of America like an accessible person they could relate to, as he was NOT a politician (3/4) — Shania Twain (@ShaniaTwain) April 22, 2018

My answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values nor does it mean I endorse him. I make music to bring people together. My path will always be one of inclusivity, as my history shows. (4/4) — Shania Twain (@ShaniaTwain) April 22, 2018

And there you have it. Another right-leaning celebrity silenced for having a different opinion on politics. I look forward to seeing how the Twitter mob reacts when they find out half of America voted for Donald Trump.
