Tiara Mack Claps Back At Criticisms Of Her Viral Twerk Video

Rhode Island senator Tiara Mack became a topic of conversation after a video of her twerking on a beach before jokingly signing off with “vote for Senator Mack” went viral.

There’s no mistaking this short clip for an official campaign video, or a serious ask for votes. State legislator or not, state Sen. Tiara Mack is not here for the online ridiculousness.

In Tweets Monday, Mack seemingly shrugged off the faux outrage contrived in a political hit by conservative accounts across social media platforms. But she quickly flipped the script and wondered why her twerking on her day off was the news versus any other significant moment in her short career in the Rhode Island legislature.

“Damn. Twerking upside down really makes the conservative, unhinged internet accounts pop off on a Monday,” she tweeted.

“So can the media also cover when I won a national championship in May and named MVP of the match? can the media also cover the 10+ bills I sponsored that the @RISenate never scheduled for a hearing?

Can the media cover any policy wins had by the youngest Black state senator in Rhode Island?” she queried. “As a Black, queer woman you all should know the answer. It’s no. Let’s them carry on their narrative. Me? I’m going to be joyful, free, and unbothered.”

Tiara then retweeted a tweet that reads: “Black people should not have to be perfect to stay alive, be seen, be loved, and protected.” Adding to it that: “We don’t owe you perfect. We don’t owe you anything.”
