Actress-turned Trump supporter-turned fired Fox news commentator-turned one of the most disliked people in America, Stacey Dash (51), has yet again shook up the internet on Friday evening. This time, the former “Clueless” star is actually getting handclaps (but not much hate) from the millions of people who do not like her and/or her political views.

Ms. Dash has just announced that she’s dropping her bid to run for Congress in the state of California, after just 32 days of campaigning. If there were a virtual chorus, they’d be singing right about now.

Why She Ran- To Free Folks From A Plantation?

You see, on February 26, 2018, Stacey proved just how “clueless” she really is, when she decided to officially file paperwork to put in her Congressional seat bid in for a district that overwhelmingly voted for Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, by 83%-12% in 2016. Dash, a republican and avid Trump cheerleader , believed that she had a shot at winning in a California district that includes Compton, Watts, San Pedro and North Long Beach, and has long since represented by a Democrat. Stacey Dash, as we all know, is widely viewed by many African Americans, as a “coon,” due to her many ultra conservative political beliefs. However, in early March she said she decided to run for Congress in order to ‘free people from mental slavery’:

“I wouldn’t run if I didn’t think I could win,” [Stacey Dash] said. “I plan on breaking out of the box. I want to shake the tree, rock the boat. I want to free people from the shackles of a plantation mentality.” -via The Guardian

Dash’s Announcement Of Withdrawal Congressional Race

Welp folks, I guess she must’ve had a revelation and realized there was no way in HELL that she was gonna win in a district made up of many African Americans and Latinos. Thus, she has now made a ‘non-clueless’ decision, by doing one of the wisest things she’s probably done in years- she released her official announcement that she was dropping out of the race for Congress in California:

“After much prayer, introspection and discussions with my family, I am withdrawing my candidacy for California’s 44th Congressional District,” wrote Dash. “I started this run with the intention to address the pressing issues in the district where I live. I hoped, and remain hopeful, that I can assist people living here on a national level. My goal was, and remains, to improve the lives of people who have been forgotten for decades by the Democratic Party.”

Even though Stacey Dash probably knows good n’ well that she stood NO chance of winning, she still gave a suspect reason for her withdrawal, by instead blaming her decision on wanting to protect her family and whatnot:

“At this point, I believe that the overall bitterness surrounding the political process, participating in the rigors of campaigning, and holding the elected office would be detrimental to the health and wellbeing of my family. I would never want to betray the personal and spiritual principles I believe in most: that my God and my family come first.”

I think this is one of the better moves Stacey Dash has made within the past decade or so. She’s seemingly trying to save face in her withdrawal letter, but at least ‘little Ms. Clueless’ got outta that inevitable mega-loss while she was ahead, so to speak. At any rate, we always like to extend common courtesy, here at ILOSM, so with that said, wishing ol’ girl all the best with any future political adventures she takes.
