Here’s What Candace Cameron Bure Really Thinks About Politics
By Movieguide® Contributor
FULL HOUSE actress Candace Cameron Bure answered a fan’s question about politics on her Instagram story this week, and the response may surprise some.
“Do you see yourself with as a person passionate about politics?” one person asked.
Bure answered with a photo of her shirt that says, “Loves Jesus & America, too” and said “Yes. Very. I don’t discuss it much on social media because it only turns divisive and argumentative and every troll comes out to play.”
She thinks it is better for her to focus on the love of Jesus and let others know about Him than to create discord by voicing her opinions.
“I’d rather use my socials and time to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and encourage people to read the Holy Bible. I do like to discuss politics with people in person. Usually, a face-to-face conversation doesn’t end up in hatred, but a desire to hear one’s point of view and discuss,” she said.
Bure previously pointed her followers to the Bible amid America’s political turmoil.
Movieguide® reported:
“I have so much to say, but here’s the thing, I don’t want to use my social media to talk politics because I stopped talking politics when I stopped cohosting THE VIEW,” Bure started a series of Instagram stories. “Here’s what I do want to say: Read this Bible, God’s word. If we want change, we need to read it and ingest it and make the change from here.”
Bure experienced a lot of anxiety and stress on THE VIEW as the only Republican host.
“THE VIEW, by far, was the toughest job,” Bure said. “And as soon as Donald Trump won that election, I was like, this has got to go, because I could not, I did not want to be the punching bag for the next four years in that conservative seat.”
“I just didn’t want to. And it wasn’t worth it to me. It wasn’t worth my mental health, which was already suffering, so it was a very easy decision,” she said.
Bure has received multiple Movieguide® Teddy Bear Awards® for her performances. She also previously hosted the Movieguide® Awards Gala.
Her latest movie, AINSLEY MCGREGOR MYSTERIES: CASE FOR THE WINEMAKER, is currently streaming on Pure Flix.
