Republicans Call Out Hollywood
Senator John Kennedy (R-La.) recently fired back at Hollywood elites who have criticized Americans for voting for President Trump. During an appearance on Fox News’ Hannity, Kennedy took aim at figures like Alec Baldwin and Sharon Stone, who have called Trump supporters “ignorant.” He described their remarks as “goofy” and argued that these celebrities have a misguided sense of moral and intellectual superiority.
Kennedy made it clear that while people are entitled to their opinions, their views seem increasingly out of touch with the reality of most Americans. He highlighted the hypocrisy of the Hollywood elite, pointing out their disdain for American historical figures like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, while pushing for radical social changes. He also mocked the left’s obsession with issues like gender identity, suggesting that these Hollywood figures want children to be able to change genders on a whim. Additionally, Kennedy poked fun at the celebrity culture’s fascination with kale, humorously stating that he would prefer to be a little heavier than indulge in what he sees as a trendy, tasteless food.
The senator emphasized that the Hollywood elite’s criticisms reflect a broader disconnect from the concerns of everyday Americans. He argued that many of these figures believe they are smarter and more virtuous than the general public, but in reality, they have lost touch with the values and priorities of average citizens.
Kennedy wrapped up his comments with a pointed message to both his allies and critics, wishing everyone a “Happy Thanksgiving” and reminding them to “stay deplorable” — a reference to Hillary Clinton’s infamous comment in 2016. This remark underscored his belief that the American people, despite what the Hollywood elite think, are fed up and ready to make their voices heard.
