Former Fox News commentator Stacey Dash disavows network, distances herself from Trump – By Philip Caulfield (Today) / Mar 11 2021
Actress turned conservative political commentator Stacey Dash said she has reconsidered her zealous support of former President Donald Trump, condemns the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol and is going to give President Joe Biden a chance.
“Being a supporter of Trump has put me in some kind of box that I don’t belong in. But he’s not the president. I’m going to give the president that we have right now a chance,” Dash said in an exclusive interview with DailyMailTV. “We have a new president,” she added.
Dash, 54, who made her name playing Dionne Davenport in the 1995 teen movie “Clueless,” worked as an on-air contributor at Fox News until 2016. During her time as a paid contributor, she sparked criticism when she said that there was no longer a need for award shows or television networks that honor the Black community.
Dash had also said she thought Black History Month should be abolished because there isn’t a white history month.
