Becca Kufrin would ask about politics if ‘Bachelorette’ again

Becca Kufrin wouldn’t hesitate to ask the hard-hitting questions if she were “The Bachelorette” again.

In a recent interview with Insider, the “Bachelorette” of Season 14 recalled how she told current “Bachelor” star, Matt James, that she’d ask her suitors about where they stand on political issues.

“I told him, look, if I was the Bachelorette again, the second I walked into the house after meeting everyone I would say, ‘Who did you vote for and why? Let’s talk about it,'” Kufrin, 30, said.

“There’s no way in hell they’d show that conversation,” the Minnesota native continued. “But for me, especially living through this past year, it would be so important to me.”

During her “Bachelorette” season in 2018, Kufrin got engaged to contestant Garrett Yrigoyen. In May of that year, Yrigoyen came under fire for allegedly “liking” insensitive content on social media, which included posts that mocked immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community.

In June, Yrigoyen showed support for law enforcement by posting a “Thin Blue Line” to Instagram amid the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement in the wake of Geoge Floyd’s death in police custody.

Kufrin said at the time that she and Yrigoyen were “trying to work through” their differences.

“I want to say to our listeners out there — because I’m sure many will hear this back and wonder and ask and have opinions — for those who are curious about my relationship with Garrett at this point, all I can say right now is I don’t know,” Kufrin said over the summer.

In September, Kufrin confirmed the couple had ended their two-year engagement.

“It wasn’t based solely off of one Instagram post or somebody else’s opinions or comments. There’s much more to it,” Kufrin said on a previous episode of her “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast.

On their differences, Kufrin told Insider, “I was like … what’s important to me? What’s important to him?”

She continued, “Are we going to be able to make a lasting relationship for a lifetime off of our differences?”

Despite a turbulent year, Kufrin said she is grateful for all of the lessons 2020 taught her.

As for James, the first black “Bachelor” in franchise history, his journey is just beginning.
