Once again, a Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a> cast member is getting called out for her MAGA-adjacent social media activity. This time, it\u2019s Vicki Gunvalson<\/a>, the OG of the OC. <\/p>\n

Now, this information will probably not be surprising to anyone, but amid heightened tensions after the recent ICE murders, the Bravo community has called her out again. This time, even some other Bravolebs have chimed in.<\/p>\n

RHONY\u2019s Jessel Taank and Sai De Silva \u2018liked\u2019 the anti-Vicki Gunvalson post<\/p>\n

The latest murder by Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> ICE agents sent shockwaves across the nation. Plenty of Bravo stars and content creators have been sharing their thoughts, but for some odd reason, condemning state-sanctioned violence<\/a> has led to backlash online. That prompted one creator to flip things around and shine a spotlight on Vicki. <\/p>\n

\u201cTons of you didn\u2019t like me speaking about Alex Pretti and that I should stick to Housewives, so here is a post about a Real Housewife,\u201d the post began.<\/p>\n

The creator went on to highlight various far-right accounts and memes that Vicki has recently interacted with. For example, one screenshot shows that Vicki follows Kristi Noem<\/a>, the highly controversial Secretary of Homeland Security<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There was also a screenshot showing Vicki leaving a heart on a post about the FBI\u2019s investigation into one of the Minneapolis murders. That post referred to it as an \u201cICE self-defense case.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another post liked by Vicki read, \u201cBreaking News: President Trump expected to replace LGBTQ+ Month with Veteran\u2019s\u2019 [sic] Month. Do you approve this?\u201d<\/p>\n

The post about Vicki\u2019s political leanings gained a ton of traction from the Bravo community, including a few of Vicki\u2019s fellow Housewives. For example, Sai De Silva<\/a> and Jessel Taank <\/a>from Real Housewives of New York<\/a> both liked the post about Vicki. Plus, Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/a> star Margaret Josephs<\/a> commented with applause emojis and a heart. Fans heard that loud and clear.<\/p>\n

Scroll through the comments, and you\u2019ll see plenty of fans condemning Vicki, but this isn\u2019t the first time that the MAGAverse has waded its way into RHOC. It\u2019s a semi-regular occurrence. Last year, Vicki said that Heather Dubrow<\/a> didn\u2019t fit in on the show because she\u2019s \u201cvery liberal.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Real Housewives of Orange County<\/a> is streaming on Peacock.<\/p>\n
