<p><a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kathy-hilton-mistakes-lizzo-for-fictional-precious-character-viewers-melt-down-over-her-racist-mistake/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lizzo</a> used her moment in the spotlight at MTV&#8217;s Video Music Awards (VMAs) to claim that laws in the United States were &#8220;oppressing us.&#8221;</p>
<p>The artist took home the prize at Sunday&#8217;s event for &#8220;Music Video for Good,&#8221; and despite admitting she wasn&#8217;t even sure what a &#8220;music video for good&#8221; was, she immediately pivoted to talk about the power of a single vote and call on her fans to vote and change the laws that were &#8220;oppressing us.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lizzo while accepting the Video for Good award at the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/VMAs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#VMAs</a>:</p>
<p>“Your vote means everything to me, it means everything to making a change in this country … When you’re voting for your favorite artist, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us.” <a href="https://t.co/19UpJv3rkD">pic.twitter.com/19UpJv3rkD</a></p>

<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what &#8216;Music Video for Good&#8217; means,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/woke-vs-patriotism-lizzo-and-john-rich-both-have-1-songs-right-now-but-who-wins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lizzo</a> laughed, adding, &#8220;But I do know what your vote means, and that&#8217;s a f***ing lot. Your vote means everything to me, it means everything to making a change in this country.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So remember, when you’re voting for your favorite artist, vote to change some of these laws that are oppressing us,&#8221; she added, although she gave no indication as to what those oppressive laws might be.</p>
<p>Critics immediately responded, suggesting that Lizzo did not name any specific oppressive laws because there weren&#8217;t any and arguing that she was far from oppressed.</p>
<p>&#8220;Nothing screams oppression like than being given an idol made out of precious metals and lauded in front of millions. It’s a hard-knock life,&#8221; Angelo Isidorou <a href="https://twitter.com/angeloisidorou/status/1564083497106808832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>.</p>
<p>Claremont Institute President Ryan P. Williams <a href="https://twitter.com/RpwWilliams/status/1564082690688573440" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>, &#8220;Laughable. Lizzo is clearly quite oppressed…&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Idk who’s oppressing Lizzo But I do know we have an administration wielding the IRS and intel communities against Americans,&#8221; GETTR&#8217;s Kaelan Dorr <a href="https://twitter.com/KDORR_USA/status/1564079965389324289" target="_blank" rel="noopener">replied</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Lizzo has a net worth of 12 million dollars and is a media darling, whose immense girth keeps getting worshiped undoubtedly leading to kids everywhere living unhealthy lifestyles,&#8221; @thequartering <a href="https://twitter.com/TheQuartering/status/1564079808136597505" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asserted</a>. &#8220;Lizzo is not oppressed and is in fact actively causing harm.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Does she means laws like the one I signed in Wisconsin that requires a photo ID to vote?!?&#8221; former Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottWalker/status/1564090314817769479" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a>. &#8220;&#8216;Cause we saw the largest turnout in 70 years at the last fall election. Sounds like another celebrity ignoring the facts.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So oppressed she’s a multimillionaire and famous. Try traveling to some other countries around the world if you want to know what oppression really is,&#8221; <a href="https://twitter.com/JamieRJN/status/1564079152554287109" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came from</a> @JamieRJN. &#8220;These speeches out of Hollywood are always some of the worst.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;B****, you&#8217;re not oppressed. Just shut up. I&#8217;m so done with these people — the most successful, elite, out of sync, out of touch with reality, narcissistic a**holes, whining about &#8216;oppression,'&#8221; YouTuber Deb Fillman <a href="https://twitter.com/deb_fillman/status/1564078723049070596" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concluded</a>.</p>
