During an appearance on “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning, Hollywood star Jon Voight fired back at actress Alyssa Milano after she slammed him for expressing his conservative views.
Fox News reported that while on the show, Voight was read a tweet in which Milano called him an “F-lister” and a “has been” after he publicly praised Trump.
Now I understand why Republicans like to discredit actors and our political views.
“Stay in your lane, Jon!”
“Has been!”
“F-lister trying to stay relevant!”
“Nobody cares what an out of touch actor thinks!” https://t.co/LcIGgBO9az— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) May 25, 2019
Voight responded by saying that he was a radical anti-war leftist in the 1960s, but he later discovered the “truth” and changed his political ways.
“I have sympathy for people that are in ignorance. It doesn’t scare me. Ignorance doesn’t scare me. I was like that myself. I just root for everybody to come to the truth,” he said.
Voight Slams Socialism
Voight was on the show to promote the Rally for Freedom, which is set to take place the morning of July 4 on Section 10 of the U.S. Capitol lawn. The event is meant to be a chance for people to stand for freedom and oppose the radical socialist policies being pushed by some leftwing members of Congress.
Voight described socialism as a “disaster” and to say that young people are being “indoctrinated” in schools. He added that American youths no longer understand the dangers of socialism.
“If they knew anything about the Second World War, they’d know that socialism is a disaster,” he said. “It’s never produced anything anywhere in the world. It’s an economic sinkhole, but it also produces nothing but misery and violence.”
We’re glad that Voight finally responded to shut Milano down, as it was incredibly hypocritical for a loudmouth liberal like her to go after him simply for expressing his political views. We need more conservative actors to be open about their conservative views just like Voight!
