Your vote will make the difference,&#8221; Ferrell begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He then mocks a voter disagreeing about their vote making a difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That means you, Gary. &#8216;Oh, blah blah blah, I&#8217;m just one person.&#8217; No. Shut the f&#8212; up, Gary,&#8221; Ferrell says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Last time, only a few thousand votes kept Trump out of office. And this time, we will hold you personally responsible, Gary,&#8221; Ferrell threatens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Critics took to X, telling the actor to stick to comedy and stay out of politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Democrats have now resorted to physically threatening people to&nbsp;vote for Kamala. Will Ferrell should\u2019ve stuck to comedy. This isn\u2019t funny at all,&#8221; one user wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Will Ferrell is making it REAL tough for me to watch Elf this season,&#8221; another user commented.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferrell joins a list of actors and celebrities who have&nbsp;used their status to endorse Harris&nbsp;in the homestretch of the campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, actors Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Danai Gurira, Don Cheadle and Paul Bettany took part in a video endorsement, mocked as &#8220;new cringe&#8221; for Harris and Tim Walz, that was posted on Ruffalo\u2019s X account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re back. Let&#8217;s #AssembleForDemocracy. In the #ElectionEndgame, every vote counts,&#8221; Ruffalo wrote, encouraging people to&nbsp;vote for Harris and Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the video, they jokingly suggested Harris needed a catchphrase, referencing their past movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bettany remarked, &#8220;How about \u2018I\u2019m down with democracy\u2019? It\u2019s clean and simple.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I\u2019m Kamala Harris and I say down with democracy,&#8221; Cheadle joked, adding, &#8220;Yeah, together we got to tear down democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Near the end of the video, he phrased it saying, &#8220;I\u2019m Kamala Harris, and I am down with democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final New York Times\/Siena College Battleground poll of the 2024 race shows a razor-tight election in the battleground states just days&nbsp;before the election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Will Ferrell quips, &#8216;We will hold you personally responsible, Gary,&#8217; in Harris-Walz campaign ad Actor and comedian Will Ferrell&nbsp;is throwing his star power behind Kamala Harris \u2013 it&#8217;s just&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"15","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"wpai_generated_summary":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2,"attached_media":[{"id":51558,"url":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-67-2-png.webp","type":"image\/png"}]},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[15],"tags":[10231,10232],"class_list":["post-51557","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","tag-actor-will-ferrell-threatens-voters-in-new-harris-campaign-ad-shut-the-f-up","tag-gary"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51557","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51557"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51557\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51559,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51557\/revisions\/51559"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51557"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51557"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51557"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
