'Never Take Your Foot Off Their Neck': Christina Ricci Humbles MAGA Voter With Single Reply

Christina Ricci didn’t mince words in response to a Threads user who pledged her continued devotion to President Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda. On Monday, a Threads user who identified herself as a 71-year-old Republican reacted to a Texas woman’s now-viral post about voting for all Democratic candidates in the Lone Star State, which has historically been a Republican stronghold. “I’m 71 and my whole family in California, Texas and Arizona, and Michigan, plus Pensilvania [sic] will be voting straight Red,” the Threads user wrote. “We don’t want a communist representing us. We are MAGA. And we won’t bend to them.” About a day later, Ricci weighed in. “So you’re a sadist then? You enjoy other people suffering?” the “Yellowjackets” and “Addams Family Values” actor wrote. “Because that’s what you voted for- more cruelty and suffering for your fellow human beings. And animals actually.” A screenshot of Ricci’s comments was later posted to Reddit, where it has since drawn a flurry of supportive responses. “Never take your foot off their neck, Christina,” one person wrote, while another added: “Like usual she’s right. Miss Ricci is forever the GOAT.” Others, however, expressed skepticism over whether Ricci’s response would make a lasting impact. “IMO, it’s the wrong kind of response if it’s not about preaching to the choir, and actually trying to make people like Maga lady reconsider,” one person wrote. Ricci ― who recently signed on to star in Peacock’s adaptation of Carinn Jade’s novel “The Astrology House” ― has long maintained an unfiltered presence on social media. In March, she issued a blistering response to conservative influencer Emily Wilson, who made the incendiary claim that “fat chicks vote democrat.” “I’m skinnier than you you asshole and I still vote democrat or as liberal as I can because there is more to life than being thin,” Ricci wrote on Threads. “What you contribute to this world is what matters, loser.” And last year, she deemed former Fox News host Megyn Kelly a “danger to children” after Kelly downplayed the crimes of late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
