YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul on Thursday told his more than 20 million subscribers that he supports former President Trump in the 2024 election.
“Democrats have been in power for 12 of the last 16 years, so if we aren’t happy about the current political state, economic state, environmental state, then who is to blame?” Paul said in an 18 minute video posted to YouTube.
“Do I think Donald Trump is a perfect human being? No. I don’t think anybody on this planet is a perfect human being, myself included,” the influencer said. “Don’t judge people off of a character that the media has portrayed them to be, because Democrats control 90% of the U.S. media.”
Paul argued that Trump is a better candidate on the issues than Harris, who he noted has been in office for the past four years. He said the media has mischaracterized Trump’s position on abortion, asking, “what rights as a woman were taken away from you” in Trump’s first term in office.
“If you really cared about women and their opportunities, and their lives, I think it would be better to have a president that doesn’t want biological men competing in women’s sports,” said Paul.
“As a future father, you will find me dead before I send my daughter to a school where men can go into her bathroom and where men can compete against her in sports. It’s bull—- that is taking away women’s rights.”
