Barbie’s new line of dolls was intended to inspire all girls to speak up and take an interest in public service quickly when it became politics when Donald Trump Jr. got involved … but the toy company closed it.
Shortly after the Barbie 2020 Campaign Team, comprised of 4 diverse dolls, including a candidate, campaign manager, fundraiser, and voter, was introduced to “expose girls to public leadership roles and awaken their interest in shaping the future. ” .. Don Jr. used it to shoot the Democrats.
Don tweeted … “‘Voter’ Barbie must be a Democrat because she already has a ‘I Voted’ sticker and yet has another ballot in hand.”
It is not the most original joke, and according to the creators of Barbie … it is also inaccurate.
A Mattel spokesperson tells TMZ … “Barbie is not, and never has been, affiliated with a political party. Barbie has always encouraged girls to stand up for what they believe in and shows them that they can be anything.”
The Mattel representative adds … “This doll set highlights a variety of leadership roles to spark their interest in shaping the future and raising their voices, from the podium to the polls. This set also provides a tool to enable families have conversations around important events and cultural moments through play. “
Of course, the Don Jr. joke comes as President Trump Continue to press claims by mail, the vote is fraudulent and will only benefit Democrats in the next election.
The truth is, there are no facts to back that up … just like Jr.’s jab on Barbie.
