Actor Lynda Carter, best known as the star of the 1970s live-action television series Wonder Woman, called out a troll who criticized her for voicing her support on X for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for president.
Carter's vocal support came after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Harris. At 81, Biden faced increasing concerns within his party about his age and capacity to serve another term, along with fears of a potential loss to former President Donald Trump—who is 78—in November.
She initially urged her followers to "get to work" by donating to the Democratic political action committee ActBlue and checking their voter registration.
In response, one troll said he "Would have expected better from someone who once wore the American flag," referring to Carter's iconic Wonder Woman costume.
Carter swiftly responded:
"Yes I do expect better for this country. That’s why I choose Kamala Harris over Donald Trump."
And when another poster said, "Your [sic] a disappointment," Carter responded with a simple grammatical correction:
Carter's post caught the attention of Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, who said:
"Actually, you’re an inspiration Lynda!"
Many agreed and appreciated Carter's snarky responses.
Carter has been very critical of the MAGA movement and has made headlines more than once for her commentary.
Last year, she mocked Trump following his announcement that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided his Mar-a-Lago estate by evoking the "Florida man" meme that refers to an alleged prevalence of male persons performing irrational or absurd actions in the state of Florida.
Carter has also been consistently praised for her progressive advocacy, often speaking out on matters related to women's rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and gun control.
She was cheered by her fans after she issued a strong and spirited defense of the rights of transgender people, who have been the subject of increased attacks by conservative legislatures around the United States.
