Danielle Gates, known for her appearance on TLC’s “90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way” alongside Johan Geronimo, has recently gone viral for a politically charged rant that has captured significant attention. The video, which expresses her concerns about recent legislation in Tennessee, features her calling President Trump “king” and urging viewers to take action.
Gates’ journey on “90 Day Fiancé” began in Season 4, where she navigated a tumultuous relationship with Johan Geronimo from the Dominican Republic. Their story unfolded over multiple seasons, highlighting Gates’ move from New York to La Romana and their ongoing disputes. Despite their dramatic journey, Gates announced in 2023 that they had officially ended their relationship, citing Johan’s infidelity and a double life that included relationships with other women. She revealed that a woman reached out to her, claiming to have been in a relationship with Johan for two years, right before Gates’ marriage.
In her viral video, Gates expresses her concern about a new Tennessee law that criminalizes voting against Trump’s policies. She criticized the recent passage of SB 6000, which states that elected officials who adopt Sanctuary policies could face a Class E felony charge. In her impassioned rant, she encouraged her audience to take action, stating, “I know we all knew this was revolutionary times, but what are we doing during the revolution? Are we just shaking our heads? Are we living in fear? Or are we taking action?” Gates emphasized the importance of addressing political issues, stating, “I don’t care what you do. Pick one issue. Mine is immigration, but please do something.”
Social media responses to Gates’ video have been mixed, with some questioning the validity of her concerns. According to WKRN News 2 Nashville, the legislation was indeed passed by Tennessee state senators with a vote of 26 to 7. The new law imposes criminal penalties for officials who oppose Trump’s policies, raising significant alarm among many observers.
