Cherie Currie was the lead singer of the 1970s hard rock band The Runaways. It’s the same group that launched the career of Joan Jett. These days, Cherie Currie still performs to adoring audiences, but she is also more focused on politics, and she has embraced MAGA and the conservative movement. A quick glimpse at Currie’s Twitter/X account lets you know exactly where she stands. Fuck the Democratic Party! You clowns. Liars! Users. Destroyers! Mental case Cowards! We’ve HAD IT with you! Keep standing up for law breaking criminals, gang members, murderers, pedophiles, abusers, human traffickers, baby rapists, thieves! You are so ridiculous and pathetic.… — Cherie Currie (@CherieCurrie3) April 24, 2025 To all Democrats. Please tell me ONE THING your party has done to make our country strong, prosperous and peaceful. ONE THING? — Cherie Currie (@CherieCurrie3) April 15, 2025 Currie’s political transformation has been in the works for a while. Western Journal reported on this almost a year ago: Former Punk Rock Lead Singer Cherie Currie Renounces the Democratic Party After Realizing She ‘Fell for’ Its ‘Lies’ About 40 or 50 years ago, cross-dressing, tattoos, protesting and occupying the radical left wing were enough to establish your punk credentials. But something changed in the intervening decades. What once put these punk groups in direct opposition to the mainstream has now become deeply entrenched in the mainstream… Best known as the lead vocalist for the teenage punk band (which included a young Joan Jett) in the 70’s, Currie embodied that anti-establishment ethos of the time by prancing around on stage in lingerie and singing sexually charged lyrics before it was cool. But now, the former punk rocker has taken to social media platform X, denouncing in a lengthy rant the Democrat Party for the left-wing rhetoric she once espoused. Later this month, Currie is speaking at this conservative event: I am so honored to be a speaker for this march. pic.twitter.com/djgvLAsI3a — Cherie Currie (@CherieCurrie3) April 22, 2025 Currie talks about her political journey in this #WalkAway video: MUST SEE!

When a person leaves the left, they usually get attacked, especially if they’re famous. Congratulations to Ms. Currie for being her own woman.
Who is Cherie Currie? I was a DJ in the early 80s and I never heard of her. Now she's just another irrelevant "celebrity" spewing MAGA talking points while not having the talent necessary to continue her entertainment career.
I have always thought it was a contradiction to the beliefs of his supporters who were singing and dancing in the audience at his rallies to the song YMCA...a very popular song with the LGBTQ+ community since the day that song was created by the Village People. wrbtrader
