This week, former NASCAR superstar driver Danica Patrick posted some photographs of herself attending a conservative event called Amfest hosted by conservative group Turning Point USA. And after she faced some criticism, she addressed her political views.
After receiving some negative comments regarding her post from the event, she clarified her political beliefs in a follow-up Instagram story, revealing that she falls somewhere “between Republican and independent” on the political spectrum, but she’s “not a liberal.”
“I am not a liberal. I am somewhere between Republican and independent. I think our country should be run by someone that knows business and has integrity. I believe we should be able to speak freely. I don’t think our food and skies should be poisoned. I think it’s bullsh*t that Democrats can be proud but a Republican can’t in society. As a result, there is so much propaganda that penetrates mainstream media. I love this country and I have lived other places. I believe when people of different opinions speak face to face we realize we are more similar than different. I don’t believe everything anyone says,” Patrick wrote on her Instagram story, according to OutKick.
Patrick raced in the top NASCAR series from 2012 to 2018 where she had seven top-10 finishes and one pole in her 191 races.
