Star Of Superhero Movie Franchise Risks ‘Career Suicide’ To Endorse President Trump

While the Democratic Party has long been able to count on Hollywood to endorse its far-left positions, not everyone in the entertainment business is on the same page.

This week, actor Zachary Levi of the DC Comics film “Shazam!” and the TV series “Chuck” made his support for President Donald Trump public, acknowledging that he expects doing so will negatively impact his career.

According to TheBlaze:

“And so, I stand with Bobby [Kennedy], and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Because I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man that can get us there.”

According to Levi, he originally supported Kennedy, who he said “represents all of the things” he wanted to see in a presidential candidate. “He’s the real deal.” Kennedy withdrew from the race in August.

The 44-year-old added that he believes “we live in a very broken [world],” one that has been “hijacked” by people who want to take the country “off the cliff.”

The endorsement sparked significant social media discussion:

“Within my industry, as you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very liberal town, and this (endorsing Trump) very well could constitute career suicide.”

Levi later elaborated on his position, as Fox News reported:

Levi added that he grew up in a Christian conservative family and his parents taught him to “have a healthy level of distrust of the government,” adding that Kennedy is the “real deal” and the kind of politician he wanted to support for president.

“We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again, we’re going to make it healthy again. And so I stand with Bobby and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. … Of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there,” Levi said.
