Cher Bitchslaps Republicans

"I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don't understand how anyone would want to be a Republican."

"The Republicans [leading the country the last eight years] almost killed me. … I try to be charitable and there are some really good Republicans, but I just don't understand how anyone would want to be a Republican. I just can't figure it. I don't understand. If you're poor, if you're any kind of minority -- gay, black, Latino, anything. If you're not a rich -- I don't know. If you're not a rich born-again Christian, I don't get it." -- Cher, who should consider going on a national tour to movie-smack every Republican across the face and tell them to "Snap out of it!"
