Popstar Katharine McPhee Blames ‘Woke Voters’ For California Crime

CBS “Scorpion” star Katharine McPhee said she won’t wear jewelry out in public because of the skyrocketing crime in California, and blamed “woke voters” for electing officials with soft on crime policies. 

“I blame every single one of you woke voters,” she shared in an Instagram story last week. “Seniors getting beat up while walking. Keep voting for this. What a sad state this city is in.”

McPhee, 38, who is married to senior citizen David Foster, 72, posted an article about an elderly man who had been attacked and robbed in Los Angeles, which she used as an opportunity to stump for tough on crime billionaire Rick Caruso, according to Fox News.

 “This is literally my worry and thought every time I go out now. We need @rickcarusola,” the season five “American Idol” runner-up captioned. “What’s this world coming to?”

An the second part to the post, she shared a screenshot of a friend warning her not to wear a “Rolex” watch when out and about in LA, which has its highest murder rate in 15 years, with homicides in the first half of 2022 already exceeding last year’s total. 

She captioned the post: “This is the real life text/convos you have with fam and friends about living in LA now. We need @rickcarusola.”

In the following section, she shared a photo of herself barehanded and wrote: “No rings watches or anything out in LA anymore,” before tagging Caruso again. 

McPhee’s not the only celebrity in the Republican turned Democrat Los Angeles mayoral candidate’s corner. Rapper Snoop Dogg, popstar Katie Perry, Elon Musk, Gwenyth Paltrow, George Lopez and more have publicly gotten behind Caruso. 

Kim Kardashian endorsed him in a video on Twitter in May. “I really believe in what he stands for,” she said after the duo had a meeting. “I think that with him he can offer a better path to a better life for people that are homeless in California and in Los Angeles. I really believe in what he stands for. I was really inspired by him.”
