Cher Launches Tirade Against Republican Party—'Held My Tongue Long Enough'
Cher has launched a brutal tirade against the Republican Party, accusing its members of wanting a "whites only club."
The musical icon, 75, has long been a critic of the GOP and was a harsh critic of former President Donald Trump during his time at the White House.
Now the "Believe" performer has lashed out at the party on Twitter in a lengthy rant to her 3.9 million followers.
"HELD MY TONGUE,LONG ENOUGH,BUT FK IT‼️DO DEMS NEED A [house emoji] 2 FALL ON THER SISTERS, [bee emoji]4 THEY C WHATS COMING!?" Cher tweeted on November 3.

In a later tweet, Cher praised Joe Biden saying that the president "works tirelessly with congress and passes bills to help every day Americans." [Edited for clarity.]
She also said that Biden is prevented from working because he is "hit" by Dems "left and right" which causes "gridlock."
"THEY CAUSE GRIDLOCK,WHILE GOP SIT & PLAN HOW2 PICK OUR BONES CLEAN IF WE FAIL," she said.
Cher then called the GOP "Nazis in lockstep" and added: "ITS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMOCRACY& DICTATORSHIP."

"2 TAKE EVERYTHING FROM THE POOR & INCONSEQUENTIAL,& GIVE 2BILLIONAIRES.IF GOP GET IN AGAIN THEY'LL BREAK RULES THEY HAVEN'T YET BROKEN," she tweeted.

Newsweek has contacted the Republican Party for comment.
Cher previously accused Republicans of trying to "achieve the dream" of white supremacy in a rant about the new voting laws in Georgia in April.
"THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY‼️ ITS GOP'S MANTRA 'WHITE IS RIGHT',& 'ONLY THE RIGHT PPL SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE' Why aren't Dems Quaking in Their Boots About The Browning of [American flag emoji]. I'm Excited.We Are Better Together," she said at the time.
The singer's comments came on election night as the GOP claimed victory in Virginia's gubernatorial race.
Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin pulled off a remarkable upset to win the governor's mansion in the Old Dominion, representing a huge political blow to Biden.
The Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe, was expected to perform higher but lagged in key counties which Biden previously swept in the 2020 election.
"Together, we will change the trajectory of this commonwealth and friends, we are going to start that transformation on day one. There is no time to waste," Youngkin said in his victory speech, calling his win "a defining moment" for millions of Virginians.
