Actor Zachary Levi, the star of TV’s “Chuck” and the “Shazam” film franchise, recently made headlines for his endorsement of President Donald Trump.
Since then, “The View” moderator Whoopi Goldberg disavowed Levi’s assertion that Hollywood is a “very liberal town” where entertainers are afraid to speak out in support of conservatives due to fears about damaging their careers.
As Fox News reported:
Actor Zachary Levi encouraged the “closeted conservatives” in Hollywood to come out publicly after his endorsement of former President Trump.
During an Instagram Live video Sunday, the 44-year-old “Shazam” star addressed “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg’s claim that Hollywood was a “right-leaning town” where “very few people seem to bite it because they’re Republican.”
Levi disagreed with her comments, pointing out that she was only able to name actors Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid as examples out of the thousands working in Hollywood today. He added actors like them seem to only come out as Republican “at a certain level of your career to get away with it.”
Of course, this wasn’t the only time in recent memory that an outlandish outburst on “The View” attracted widespread backlash:
Joy Behar whines that "MAGA supporters" don't believe them when they claim Trump is going to be a "dictator" and use the "air forces, or whatever we have" to bomb The View cast:

The View hosts are big mad that Trump was at the Al Smith dinner.
Joy Behar says they were "normalizing" Trump, and Sunny Hostin said it was time "to break with tradition"

The View must be CANCELED

The Daily Caller provided additional coverage of Levi’s response:
“There’s plenty, and they’ve sent me lots of messages, plenty of people in my industry, in Hollywood, that are terrified to publicly say that they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way,” Levi said. “That’s why you don’t see them, that’s why they’re not very prevalent or prominent because they know that there’s ramifications for this kind of shit. But like I said, y’all, our industry gonna be fuckin gonzo, it already is. We’re getting eroded, the pandemic and the strikes and all of these things, they’ve already eroded so much. So, anyway, my cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, it’s now or never.”
Here’s a full clip of his remarks:

Whoopi Goldberg MELTS Down After President Trump Tells A Story About her
Whoopi Goldberg MELTS Down After President Trump Tells A Story About her
President Trump really seemed to get under Whoopi Goldberg's skin recently when he told a story about a time he hired her to do a comedy set as his casino.
Let's just say the story did not end well for Whoopi, and news got back to her.
So the broads from The View did a whole segment on it and it was massive CRINGE.
Watch here:
JUST IN: Whoopi Goldberg loses it after Donald Trump humiliated her at a rally by calling her and The View co-hosts "demented."
At his recent rally, Trump told a story about how he could never hire Whoopi Goldberg again because she was so bad.
The comment appeared to get under… pic.twitter.com/MeBC11CoAN

Is it just me or did she seem really off balance in her reply?
Almost like a fighter that took a nasty punch and was seeing stars?
She seemed almost confused about how to reply, jumping back and forth between anger and (failed) attempts at comedy.
Whoopi, you're a comedian....try being funny!
And Sunny Hustin or whatever her name is, her bit was downright creepy!
It reminded me of when Joe Biden does that creepy whisper voice.
What the hell was that?
They all have severe anger issues if you ask me!

The comment appeared to get under Goldberg's skin.
After Whoopi's rant, co-host Sunny Hostin did her best to not show her anger and "thanked" Trump for "providing us with material on a daily basis."
"Donald Trump. I want to thank you for personally telling so many lies and committing so many alleged crimes and providing us with material on a daily basis. You help us do our jobs and I'm so appreciative."
It's not the first time Whoopi has melted down about President Trump:
Whoopi Goldberg and Joe Biden Joke About EXTERMINATING President Trump!
Whoopi Goldberg and Joe Biden Joke About EXTERMINATING President Trump!
So, just a few weeks after the SECOND assassination attempt on President Trump, guess what Whoopi Goldberg and Joe Biden are up to?
Joking about killing President Trump.
So funny, right?
First, Whoopi says he's like a bug that just won't go away and then Joe Biden smacks his hand down on the counter.
How hilarious!
Except....it's not.
Not at all.
This is truly sick…
Crusty Whoopi Goldberg Describes Donald Trump as a Bug and Joe Biden slams his hand on the table squashing it
There has been two assassination attempts on Donald Trump’s life already…

I'm so sick of these people!
Is this inciting violence?
Whoopi Goldberg compares Trump to a bug.
Biden then imitates smashing a bug d*ad on the table.
Hosts and audience laugh.
Is this incitement to violence? Just imagine if Trump did thispic.twitter.com/BKgvVGFc7w

Ask yourself how the Media would respond if Kamala Harris had nearly been shot twice and then President Trump did this....
They would lose their minds!!
Watch more here:
UNBELIEVABLE😡
After TWO assassination attempts and new reports that Iran is trying to kill President Trump, Whoopi Goldberg compares Trump to a bug.

Is this acceptable behavior for either of them?
Joe Biden looks completely senile and lost to be there, but he sure didn't miss this opportunity to "fake kill" Trump.
