Danica Patrick throws shade on Kamala Harris guest speakers: ‘I never went to a Diddy party’
Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick threw shade on supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris Sunday, telling a crowd of Trump supporters that she wasn’t paid to be there and “never went to a Diddy party.”
Patrick spoke ahead of former President Trump during a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, just two days before the election.
“Now I’m speaking. I’m not paid to be here. I don’t have a teleprompter. I’m winging this right now, everybody. I don’t need a telephone. I never went to a Diddy party,” Patrick said. “I’m doing this because I love this country and there’s nobody that’s been tested more than Trump.”
The “telephone” reference was an ostensible dig at rapper Cardi B who suffered a teleprompter glitch while speaking at a rally for Harris in Wisconsin over the weekend. After working the crowd for two minutes, a woman brought Cardi B a cell phone on which she could read her speech.
The “Diddy party” reference was a nod to extravagant and decadent parties – dubbed “Freak Offs” – held by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Combs is accused of leveraging his influence and power to lure victims into sex acts with commercial sex workers.
Over the years, high-profile Democrats – included Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams – have collaborated with Combs for various causes. Combs, who has backed many Democrats, is facing charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, among other offenses.
