Hollywood actor says Democratic Party has been ‘hijacked by an extreme woke ideology’ – Washington Examiner

Actor Robert Davi argued the Democratic Party no longer represents the working class and has since been “hijacked by an extreme woke ideology.”

Davi, known for movies like Die Hard and Licence to Kill, cited how he has worked in Hollywood for 46 years and said there used to be a “balance” between celebrities and their political ideologies. However, he argued there is now a “disconnect” between celebrities and the rest of Hollywood, citing that the majority of the Teamsters union who work on film sets support former President Donald Trump.

“So there’s a huge disconnect in terms of money and the understanding of what the problems of our nation are,” Davi said on Fox News’s One Nation with Brian Kilmeade. “The Left, the Democratic Party has been hijacked by an extreme woke ideology from the Left, as we’ve even seen from AOC the other day. Her comment on probably one of the biggest, interesting combats against terrorism. She criticized that, and many of the Left is doing that, and continues to do that.”

The actor was referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) being one of several Democrats to condemn the exploding pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon and Syria, which killed 32 people. She argued there needs to be a “full accounting of the attack,” including whether the United States had any involvement.

Davi also detailed his support for Trump, stating he has supported the former president since he announced his first presidential run in 2015. The actor contended that Trump represents “common sense” in the U.S. and is focused on “what’s good for America.”

The actor also rebuked those who have called Trump a “threat to democracy,” arguing that preventing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from debating President Joe Biden is a threat to democracy. Kennedy suspended his independent presidential bid last month and endorsed Trump.

Davi’s support for Trump comes after musician Taylor Swift announced her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris last week. Meanwhile, fellow musician Pharrell Williams revealed in a recent interview that he sometimes gets “annoyed” over celebrity endorsements.
