UNITED STATES-BASED award winning Zimbabwean actress Danai Gurira, who many have known as Michonne from the sci-fi thriller series, The Walking Dead has declared her affiliation to the Democrats. She recently made it known that she was part of Hillary Clinton’s campaign team in the run for presidency in the US.
Hilary Clinton is the nominee for Democratic Party for president of the United States of America in the 2016 election.
Posting pictures on her Instagram last week Danai showed her affiliation and creed to the party, compared to the Republican Party, which is being spearheaded by Donald John Trump. She posted pictures on her Instagram, where she captioned them:
Pic 1: “Got to meet some incredible millennials last night at the University of Michigan with @corybooker and Debbie Stabenow. We had a great conversation about why we’re with @hillaryclinton! #MISheCan #ImWithHer”
Pic 2:
“Had the opportunity to meet with volunteers and millennials today in Iowa. What a great experience, so glad I’m able to be a part of @hillaryclinton’s campaign. #ImWithHer”
Pic 3:
“Last stop on the Midwest tour in support of @hillaryclinton! #ImWithHer”
Perhaps her affiliation to Clinton is as a result of Trump’s statements on “making America great again”, where he is on record for saying that he, if elected to be president will rid the country of “second class Americans”, who are immigrants from across the world.
Trump has been widely perceived as an unstable candidate and could run not only America down but could ignite world war.
US Republican presidential nominee Trump has said that he would enact “extreme vetting” of immigrants.
In a speech, Trump outlined his plans to combat Islamic extremism, including a new screening test for arrivals to the US.
Applicants will be tested to determine if they share Western liberal values like LGBT and religious tolerance.
Democratic rival Hillary Clinton poured scorn on his plan, labelling it a “cynical ploy”. “This so-called ‘policy’ cannot be taken seriously,” said her spokesman.
“How can Trump put this forward with a straight face when he opposes marriage equality and selected as his running mate the man (Mike Pence) who signed an anti-LGBT law in Indiana?”
