Danica Patrick Stands Firm Amid Social Media Backlash Over Conservative Conference Attendance

Hello, Visual News viewers. I'm Olivia Lane, and today we bring you the latest on former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick, who is facing criticism for her right-of-center political views.
Ms. Patrick found herself at the center of controversy after posting photos on Instagram from a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) conference, founded by Charlie Kirk and Bill Montgomery. TPUSA is a non-profit organization advocating for conservative politics on educational campuses.
In the photos, Patrick and her sister sported hats supporting former President Donald Trump, captured moments of Charlie Kirk in discussion, Tucker Carlson at the podium, and an advertisement for "Woke Tears Water." The caption expressed their love for the country, stating, "Sister came to town to check out @turningpointusa with me! Dad replied to our pic with - perfect daughters. We do love our country... so AMfest (America fest) makes sense."
The post triggered negative comments from followers expressing disappointment, with remarks like "Unfollowing you now" and "Lost my support." Some users admitted they were unaware of Patrick's political leanings and found the revelation disappointing.
