Candace Cameron Bure, star of Fuller House, sister of Kirk, and former token blonde conservative on The View, is currently embroiled in a bitter feud with RuPaul’s Drag Race champion Bianca Del Rio (aka Roy Haylock when out of drag). Like most wars in 2017, this one’s taking place on Instagram, and its fiercest battles are being fought in the comments section.
So here’s what happened: Bure posted a photo of herself wearing a shirt that said NOT TODAY SATAN. Because Del Rio has more or less taken ownership of that catchphrase (despite the fact that it predates her usage on the show), she reposted Bure’s photo on Instagram along with the caption “IF ONLY THIS HOMOPHOBIC REPUBLICAN KNEW” (along with several heart and purple demon emojis).
Well, Bure was somehow notified by this gram (perhaps by some of her many alleged gay friends) and responded in Del Rio’s comments, writing:
“Why do you have to be nasty to me? You don’t know me or my heart. I’m not homophobic and always sad when people think otherwise. Loving Jesus doesn’t mean I hate gay people or anyone. You sent a bunch of hateful people to my page writing horrible things. I hope next time you’ll spread love and kindness, even when you disagree with people. Sending you love and wish you all the best. Truly.”
Replied Del Rio:
