Fifth Harmony star Lauren Jauregui unleashes her rage on Trump supporters and calls them ignorant and hypocritical.
In her open letter published Friday on Billboard, Jauregui, who self identifies herself as a proud “bisexual Cuban-American woman,” expresses her resentment for Trump supporters who have tried to disavow themselves from the Presidential-elect’s basest qualities.
“To every single Trump supporter trying to say that voting for Trump does not mean that you are racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic … your words are worthless because your actions have led to the single-handed destruction of all the progress we’ve made socially as a nation,” the singer writes. “You are HYPOCRITES.”

As an mixed-race immigrant and a member of the LGBTQ community, she calls to attention the arguments that have been made against our “politically correct” world. Instead of accepting a world with “social etiquette,” she says that Trump supporters have, “with [their] pure ignorance and refusal to understand the way the government and the world works, allowed a power-hungry business tycoon to take over the United States of America.”
How did we allow someone to be so reckless with our democracy..? I’m at such a loss.

“I am proud to be a woman. Proud that the sex between my thighs provides a strength and resilience in me that only other women can feel … that my entire life is filled with adversity and doubt and people questioning my intelligence and my artistic potential and my expression of myself and my virtue and honor because I am too much woman,” she exclaims. “I am proud that I get to prove them all wrong. I am proud that I have to work even harder for it.”
