Cherie Currie made her name in the 1970s as the lead singer of The Runaways. The all-girl punk band helped launch Joan Jett’s career.
Currie became famous for her raw energy and bold performances. She often performed in lingerie and sang rebellious, provocative lyrics.
Today, she’s still on stage — but in a very different spotlight. Currie is now active in conservative politics and the MAGA movement.
Her social media presence reflects that change clearly. She shares opinions that challenge progressive ideas and question the Democratic Party’s values.
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.…
This transformation didn’t happen overnight. Over the years, Currie began to doubt the left-wing ideals she once supported.
She now says she “fell for lies” pushed by the Democratic Party and believes many others have too.
Currie recently appeared in a video for the #WalkAway movement. In it, she explained her political shift with honesty and conviction.
Later this month, she’ll speak at a conservative event. Her presence there confirms her full embrace of this new direction.

Leaving the political left can spark backlash, especially for public figures. Currie knows the risks and stands firm anyway.
“It’s not easy,” she said in a recent interview. “But staying silent would mean betraying myself.”
She says real rebellion now means standing against the cultural mainstream — even when it costs you.
Currie’s fans may disagree about her politics, but her message remains bold. She continues to live by her own rules.
Once a punk icon challenging tradition, she now challenges the modern status quo from the other side of the aisle.
