Danica Patrick Explains Why She Got Into Politics, And It Comes With A Threat: Stop Messing With Our Kids

Danica Patrick decided to lay down the hammer and get into politics late last year in a move that sat well with the right, and pissed off the left. 

So, you know right off the bat that she made the right decision!

The ex-NASCAR and IndyCar star dipped her toe into the political waters last fall when she interviewed RFK Jr. She's since been pretty vocal about supporting him. 

Shortly after that podcast went viral, Danica again made waves when she enjoyed herself a nice weekend in Arizona at a Turning Point USA event. 

Those two things had progressives on social media standing outside Danica's virtual door with virtual pitchforks, because that's where we are in 2024. 

Luckily for us, she doesn't care and ain't backing down. The reason, according to Danica, is simple – she won't stand for people attacking our youth. 

"It's one thing to come after adults, because you can have your own rationalization," she told podcaster Isabel Brown in a recent interview. "But when you come after the kids, that's what really pisses people off. 

"Whether it was the vaccine or what they were being taught in school … that's where you really fire people up that don't necessarily want to deal with it all and are just living their lives."

Danica Patrick is here to defend our kids 

Amen, Danica Patrick! Say it louder for the weirdos in the back who keep wanting to push critical race theory on Moderna on our kids. We don't want it, they don't want it, so leave them ALONE!

Look, the first part of Danica's diatribe there was a little weird. Coming after our air …

What? Are they? Didn't know. 

But the second part? Spot on. My wife hates politics. Won't touch it, and I don't blame her. 

But you wanna know what gets her fired up? When we start talking about putting our toddler in school one day. She won't do it, and I don't blame her. 

And we live in FLORIDA! The most sane state on the planet. That's how bad it's gotten with the kids. 

So, again – amen to Danica Patrick. She decided enough was enough and is now the voice of reason in the political world. 

What a time to be alive.
