Joe Giudice took a stand for President Donald Trump and lashed out against Democratic politicians in a series of posts shared to his Instagram Story on Monday night.
As Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Bronwyn Newport, 39, encouraged her fans and followers to support protestors and immigrants amid ICE’s devastating raids in Los Angeles, Joe, 53, the ex-husband of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, 53, made it clear they are not on the same team.
In one of his many posts on June 9, Joe included a message that said, “When democrats tell me something negative about Trump … I don’t give a f*ck.”
He then took aim at a number of Democratic politicians, including former President Barack Obama, 63, former Vice President Kamala Harris, 60, and California Governor Gavin Newsom, 57, labeling the latter two as “full of sh*t lying douchebags.”
Joe, who was himself deported from the United States, then posted a video of a man talking about why he converted from a Democrat to a Republican, and discussing why he was a fan of Trump.
“I believed everything the media told me … I drank the Kool-Aid, so to speak. I like to know why I don’t like someone. I was told that he was a racist but let me get some evidence … Started doing my research and I was like, ‘Okay, well I agree with what he said … I like that, what he said … I like that policy … I like this guy!’” the man, wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, proclaimed, as seen in a clip shared by Uprising Voice on Instagram.
“The media [does] everything in their power, everything, to make sure that the American people know that he’s nothing but Hitler, and it’s ridiculous. It’s a ridiculous narrative and I’m sick of it,” he added.
Meanwhile, on Bronwyn’s Instagram Story, she shared a meme titled, “5 Ways to Support the People who are Protecting & Protesting Immigrants,” as she looked back on her own efforts to become a United States citizen.
“Like so many, I am scared and horrified watching the news. I have been through such a long journey to legally and through the proper channels obtain my US citizenship. So many delays and waiting throughout the process. I wanted to do it myself so I could understand and help others going through the same thing and once through it, be able to advocate for those coming after me,” Bronwyn, who was born in Brazil, wrote.
“The things that mean the most to us we should fight even harder for,” she added.
After sharing the message, Bronwyn returned to her Story, where she revealed she’d received numerous DMs from people who spoke of being “persecuted, attacked, treated with exclusionary actions, harassed and profiled” while in the midst of trying to gain citizenship.
Bronwyn also received messages of hate from people “who reduce anyone different to nasty and untrue stereotypes.”
“I know I am a privileged [woman] with money and time and it was a hardship for me [to obtain citizenship],” she explained. “Many nights I stressed over whether or not I would have problems or issues. And my story is nothing in comparison to others who work multiple jobs, who don’t have printers or computers at home or easily accessible to do paperwork, time off to go to multiple appointments, money for applications or translation or lawyers when situations get more technical. And yet they persist.”
“I encourage you to check your bias. To have some empathy. If you don’t know something or understanding, to seek information [from] credible sources,” she concluded.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season six is expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime later this year.
