Alyssa Milano virtue-signals about scrapping her Tesla because of 'white supremacy,' but flood of comments point out how her new electric car is problematic



Actress-turned-activist Alyssa Milano backed herself into a corner after she bragged about ditching her Tesla electric vehicle. Milano hinted that she got rid of her Tesla because Elon Musk is the CEO of the electric vehicle brand, suggesting that nobody should do business that aligns with "white supremacy." However, reactions on Twitter pointed out how her new electric car is problematic.

Milano posted a virtue-signaling tweet on Saturday morning about scrapping her Tesla in favor of a Volkswagen (VW) electric vehicle (EV).

"I gave back my Tesla. I bought the VW ev. I love it," Milano wrote on Twitter

The Hollywood actress added, "I'm not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company’s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn’t seem to be a winning business model."

\u201cI gave back my Tesla.\n\nI bought the VW ev.\n\nI love it.\n\nI\u2019m not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter. Publicly traded company\u2019s products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn\u2019t seem to be a winning business model.\u201d

Despite demanding that companies stop advertising on Twitter because of the social media platform's "alignment with hate and white supremacy," Milano has not said that she will stop using Twitter. She previously said that Musk's acquisition of Twitter would not force her to leave the social media network.

In April, Milano declared, "I’m not leaving Twitter. I’ve never considered leaving Twitter. It doesn’t matter who owns the company — my platform is — my platform. I’ll be right here continuing to use my voice and sharing truth."

Milano has been a fervent user of Twitter since 2009, racking up more than 3.5 million followers.

Numerous Twitter users noted a flaw in Milano's rationale to switch from a Tesla to a Volkswagen to fight "white supremacy." Several commentators pointed out that Volkswagen was created by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party.

The Libertarian Party of Tennessee: "Volkswagen… who were they founded by?"

Radio host Jennifer Barreto-Leyva: "Someone clearly doesn't know the story of Volkswagen. Poor thing."

The Hodge Twins: "Volkswagen was literally founded by the Nazi’s and Hitler."

Writer Mark Hemingway: "Nothing says 'I'm concerned about white supremacy' like buying a car from a company founded by the Nazi government."

Music composer Deborah Lurie: "Buying a VW in righteous defiance of white supremacy? I can't tell who's doing dark parody at this point."

Podcast host Zeek Arkham: "So… you already bought the Tesla, which made Elon money, and then 'gave' it back, which costs Elon nothing. Yeah, you sure showed him. I hope he learned his lesson on that one."

History.com noted, "On May 28, 1937, the government of Germany—then under the control of Adolf Hitler of the National Socialist (Nazi) Party—forms a new state-owned automobile company, then known as Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH. Later that year, it was renamed simply Volkswagenwerk, or 'The People’s Car Company.'"

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum added, "On May 26, 1938, Nazi dignitaries gathered near Fallersleben in northern Germany to lay the foundation stone for the Volkswagen Works. The Führer himself was present, predicting that this Volkswagen, initially known as the Kraft-durch-Freude-Wagen, or KdF-Wagen, would be 'a symbol of the National Socialist people's community.'"

The Nation reported, "According to historical records, as early as June 1940 Volkswagen had already begun using forced labor. German historian Ulrich Herbert has documented in his 1997 book 'Hitler’s Foreign Workers' that, at times, as much as 70 percent of the company’s workforce was conscripted, primarily from Eastern Europe. Basically, these workers were slaves, given just a pittance to live on. But Volkswagen subscribed fully to the Nazi racialist theories that categorized non-Aryans as subhuman — and, like the Nazis themselves, it had a pecking order, which factory director Hans Mayr later outlined for Allied war-crimes investigators."

Alyssa Milano says fathers telling sons to 'take care of your mother' is misogynistic, gets thoroughly trounced: 'Her woke opinion only hurts women'



Alyssa Milano – who has no shortage of questionable tweets that have been widely panned – uncorked yet another post on Twitter that was thoroughly trounced by many. The "Who's the Boss?" actress ticked off a generous number of Twitter users this weekend by claiming that fathers telling their sons to "take care of your mother" is misogynistic.

On Thursday night, Milano tweeted: "Can we stop saying to our sons things like: 'take care of your mother while I’m gone.' This is insinuating that women can’t take care of ourselves. And it's bulls**t."

Can we stop saying to our sons things like: \u201ctake care of your mother while I\u2019m gone.\u201d\n\nThis is insinuating that women can\u2019t take care of ourselves. And it\u2019s bullshit.

Twitter reactions to Milano's tweet flew in fast and furious. Many commentators only saw positives in dads telling their sons to care for their mom and not to let anything bad happen to the matriarch. While at the same time, others believed that the actress was fishing for attention.

Actor Adam Baldwin said: "The only thing it might 'insinuate' to women who can actually take care of themselves is a fatherly sense of familial love & duty encouraged to sons staying behind on the homefront while dad’s away. Regular healthy women aren’t offended by this."

Daily Wire CEO Jeremy Boreing replied: "We basically have. Look what it’s gotten us."

Columnist Kurt Schlichter simply said: "No. We can't."

Reporter Alana Mastrangelo tweeted: "No. Boys need to become men."

Actor Nick Searcy questioned: "Imagine being married to someone who hates men this much."

Author Chad Felix Greene snarked: "Run out of things to be outraged over, huh."

YouTuber Adam Grandmaison just wrote: "Mental illness."

Actor Matthew Marsden exclaimed: "I always say this to my sons. So no. F*** off. I’m raising men."

Tablet Magazine's Noam Blum fired back: "Or maybe the point is to make the kid feel important and responsible and not everything is about you."

YouTuber Justin Whang joked: "Father on his deathbed: Take care of your mother while I’m gone. Alyssa Milano: This is insinuating that women can’t take care of ourselves. And it’s bullsh**t. Father: *dies*"

A commenter added: "What a miserable mind. I will always tell my son to take care of his mother while I'm gone. Sometimes it's the little things that reveal the cultural divide."

A Twitter user said: "Alyssa Milano is so self-centered she doesn’t realize it’s at least in part for the benefit of teaching boys to look out for and protect others, especially the women in their lives. Ironic that she was one of the people who spoke during the me too movement."

Another person stated: "God forbid that people ask families to...act like families."

Someone pointed out: "Weird Alyssa Milano showing us once again why most of us are better at this parenting thing. Why in the world would you insinuate it’s a negative thing to teach our sons respect and the importance of always taking care of their mother? This is one unhinged lady."

A female commenter responded: "What @Alyssa_Milano doesn’t realize is that her statement further deprives boys of opportunities to learn compassion and respect for women. Her 'woke' opinion only hurts women and ensures boys remain boys, like all wokeism."

Another Twitter user advised: "Boys....take care of your mothers if your dad is gone. And never, ever listen to Alyssa Milano."

A woman said: "Imagine finding fault with a man telling his son to look after his mother. Every woman should be so lucky."

Because of the backlash, Milano made it so only her followers could directly respond to her tweet. However, even her own followers called her out on her parenting premise.

Reuters reporter Rollo Ross wrote: "I understand this take if it's from a man but everybody who said this to me growing up was female and in that respect, I don't feel it was a bad thing. It showed me just how much my mother was doing for me and that I could and should help her out rather than being complacent."

Columnist Leslie Streeter retorted: "As a widow who lost my husband when my son was not yet 2, I don’t feel the same way you do about it. It’s not 'Protect her from a bear' on an episode of ‘Little House.' I feel my husband would just want my son to love me and comfort me."

Alyssa Milano was a trending topic on Twitter during the weekend, and the "Fear" actress addressed the controversy by once again making it about misogyny.

"Apparently, I trended on Twitter today for tweeting that saying things to our sons like: 'take care of your mother,' implies to the son that women are incapable of taking care of themselves. The fact that this recognition of innate misogyny trended is part of the problem."

Alyssa Milano slammed as #MeToo 'hypocrite' for fundraising for Raphael Warnock, who was involved in domestic dispute



Actress Alyssa Milano has been a vocal #MeToo advocate, but some are claiming that the Democratic activist's morals appear to waver when it comes to the Georgia Senate runoffs.

During Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings in 2018, Milano was extremely critical of Kavanaugh, and welcomed all of the allegations against him without questioning them. She wore a sash with the words "BELIEVE WOMEN" on it during Kavanaugh's hearing. She also sat behind Kavanaugh and held up a booklet that read: "I BELIEVE SURVIVORS."

"I wasn't there with any political agenda. I was there to support a survivor of sexual assault," Milano told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. "As a survivor, it literally is all of our worst nightmares come true. This is exactly the reason why we don't come forward, or we don't report. Because of the scrutiny. Because a man's word will always mean more than our word. And it's disgusting."

But now, people are pointing out that Milano has a much different approach when it comes to the broad strokes of "I believe survivors" and "believe women." Milano is raising money for Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, who was allegedly involved in a domestic dispute.

Warnock is alleged to have run over the foot of his ex-wife Oulèye Ndoye during an altercation that police responded to. Police bodycam footage shows the aftermath of a verbal altercation between the couple, who got divorced in November 2019.

"This man's running for the United States Senate and all he cares about right now is his reputation," Ndoye told police. "I work at the mayor's office and this is a big problem. I've been trying to be very quiet about the way he is for the sake of my kids and his reputation."

"I've tried to keep the way that he acts under wraps for a long time and today he crossed the line," she continued. "So that is what is going on here and he's a great actor. He is phenomenal at putting on a really good show."

The wife claimed that Warnock ran over her foot with a car, but medical examiners found no physical damage.

In an incident from 2002, Warnock "repeatedly disrupted a 2002 police investigation into child abuse at a church-affiliated summer camp, interfering with interviews and discouraging counselors from speaking with investigators," according to two Maryland State Police reports obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Despite the problematic allegations, #MeToo champion Milano is proudly supporting Warnock. Milano has been working the phone banks for Warnock and fellow Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff.

🚨ALL HANDS ON DECK🚨We need to win those 2 senate seats in Georgia! Phone bank with me next Wed! You can do this… https://t.co/9cBgu9rn0F

On Dec. 16, Milano asked Warnock on Twitter, "How's our fundraising goal looking?"

Some online commentators pointed out the hypocrisy of Milano raising money for someone who has accusations against him by his ex-wife.

One Twitter used asked, "Where's the Me too movement now?"

Another user responded, "#MeToo is an exclusive club now? To only woman you agree with."

Someone said, "#MeToo was a complete lie."

Another person wrote, "Do you see a hypocrite when you look in the mirror @Alyssa_Milano Asking for a friend #metoo #timesup." The reply included a Rose McGowan tweet, where the actress torched Milano and called her a "fraud" for her silence about the sexual accusations against Joe Biden by former Senate staffer Tara Reade.

"You are a fraud. This is about holding the media accountable. You go after Trump & [Supreme Court Justice Brett] Kavanaugh saying Believe Victims, you are a lie. You have always been a lie. The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reade, so are you. SHAME," McGowan wrote in April.
