Stella Parton, sister of the legendary Dolly Parton, found herself under fire for her misguided comments about President-elect Donald Trump and her misinformation on “Marshall Law.” Her ignorance was swiftly mocked by Trump supporters who saw through her baseless accusations.
In a post on X, Stella, 75, accused Trump of aspiring to be a dictator who would use military force to “control the population” and “round up illegal immigrants,” something he has openly stated and which aligns with the desires of many Americans. “When you bring out the Military to control the population in a country it’s called ‘Martial Law’ and yes, Trump and his henchmen said they plan to do so to round up illegal immigrants! I saw it myself on network tv. And Trump thinks of himself as Marshall Dillon!” she wrote, accompanied by skeptical emojis.

Her blunder came after an earlier post where she incorrectly referred to Trump’s anticipated actions as “Marshall Law,” leading to ridicule from other users. “Is anyone else concerned about the incoming administration declaring Marshall Law? They’ve already said they plan to do so. Why isn’t President Biden doing something before January 20th?” Stella initially wrote. The DC Examiner’s Christopher Tremoglie sarcastically commented, “Marshall Law. These are not serious people,” while Brian Onorio humorously posted a picture of Marshall University.
Some of you are so freaking smart you will deserve the S*** storm coming at us. But some of us don’t wanna see it! FOFO !

Unlike her sister Dolly, Stella has been vocally liberal throughout her career. In December 2020, she criticized Trump and “old moldy politicians” for their handling of the Covid-19 pandemic and the vaccine rollout under Operation Warp Speed. She expressed frustration that donations from Dolly and other celebrities weren’t being utilized effectively. “If a little Hillbilly singer like my big sister Dolly can invest in the vaccine then why the hell can’t some of you old moldy politicians pitch in a few million yourselves? I noticed you started getting vaccinated right away while people are starving and dying you Aholes,” she wrote. She also criticized religious communities for not encouraging vaccinations.
“I haven’t heard of one Televangelist donating one damn cent to the research fund but they sure can fleece the flock and try to cast out demons when they are possessed themselves!” she wrote.
Honestly, I wish celebrities like this would just keep quiet.
