Karamo Brown, one of the Fab Five from the Netflix revival “Queer Eye,” has forgiven Shania Twain for saying she would have voted for Donald Trump.
The Canadian country singer said Trump would have gotten her vote because “even though he was offensive, he seemed honest,” in a recent interview with the Guardian. She later apologized for the comments saying “the question caught me off guard.”
In a Facebook Live interview with journalist Mark Malkin, Brown says he thinks the LGBT community can forgive Twain.
“I would say as a community we are very forgiving,” Brown says. “It’s in our nature because we have been treated so bad by people in our family and our friends who didn’t accept us as we go on our journeys. We’ve learned how to be empathetic and to forgive and I believe as a community we will again.”
“Let’s be honest—that one vote? Many of our friends and family members did make that vote,” Brown added. “That one vote doesn’t define her as a woman.”
