Celebs Want to Attend Trump Fundraiser But Fear Retaliation from Liberal Hollywood



Several celebrities and Hollywood executives have expressed interest in attending a fundraiser for Donald Trump in Los Angeles this week but fear possible professional consequences from their liberal colleagues in the entertainment industry, a report claims.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, a number of celebrities have attempted to gain entrance to Wednesday night’s pricey fundraiser for the presumptive GOP presidential nominee for free — not because they cannot afford it, but because paying for admission would require their names to be made public in campaign finance reports.

The names of the celebrities are not mentioned in the report.

Trump is scheduled to attend a fundraiser at the Los Angeles home of Tom and Rachelle Barrack Wednesday night in what is expected to be the beginning of a concerted fundraising push by the candidate ahead of the November general election. Trump’s Democrat rival Hillary Clinton holds a large lead in fundraising, as the billionaire businessman has largely financed his primary run with his own money.

THR reports that there is expected to be a “small Hollywood presence” at Wednesday night’s fundraiser, including a “prominent TV producer” and a “former studio head,” though the report does not mention their names.

Republican- and conservative-leaning celebrities are reportedly fearful that their support of Trump could lead to negative professional consequences for their careers in notoriously liberal Hollywood. No such qualms exist for celebrities supporting Clinton, whose names are often reported in advance of fundraisers to lend the events star-studded approval.

“This town will get vicious to those who support Trump,” one unnamed filmmaker told THR of celebrities’ reluctance to be connected to the GOP frontrunner’s campaign. “It’s not that Hollywood Republicans are cheap. In the end, they’ll contribute, but they want to wait as long as possible.”

Lionel Chetwynd, co-founder of the “secret” Hollywood conservative group Friends of Abe, predicted to THR that celebrities and entertainment figures will eventually contribute to Trump, but that it would be a “mistake” to contribute so soon in the process due to the threat of professional consequences.

A small number of entertainment figures have already openly pledged to support Trump, including actors Jon Voight, Robert Davi and Scott Baio, musician Kid Rock and Duck Dynasty stars Phil and Willie Robertson.

Both Hillary Clinton and her Democrat rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, were in California this week for campaign events and fundraisers.

Hollyweird at its best again?

The (homegrown ), division did NOT start with TRUMP.

Oh come on, that's a TERRIBLE swastika! =)

so wouldn't the Jews be a trump supporter? if Hollywood is 49% gay, and 49% Jews, then it would a war out there...

Standard result of the capitalist business model.

The politics of the people with control of your paycheck ALWAYS make you nervous about your public support for things they don't like.

This is the same reason why a lot of us were upset to realize that employers will now look at our Facebook pages, to decide things like who to hire, and who to give a raise to or not.

Plus remember, this is people who are in to thinking that they are being persecuted.

Back in the old days, it was very "in" to pretend to think that being a lefty would get you persecuted (memories of Blacklisting days) in Hollywood. Now it's "in" to pretend that the reason you don't get a part is because you like Trump, and not because you gained twenty pounds, or gained a reputation for being difficult to work with or whatever.

Little Pions across the globe are saying they don't like Thrump..because they are so important & influential to Americans voters.... Wait.. ... ....Okay I am done laughing.
So that is real.. But Hollywood is pretending, because bit is the 'in' thing?

The sad thing is, (you & I have seen enough elections to know), this chaos did NOT exist before.( And it doesn't exist now because of Trump).

Personal life & personal choices are being removed. What use to be private. What use to be a taboo subject (family, heath, religion, political affiliation.. etc), is GONE & choices & personal beliefs & lifestyles are NO longer respected.
Everything has become, everyone else's business.

or all the pedo's want a dem in so they can relax...

From Cosmopolitan

Elijah Wood started working in Hollywood when he was just 8 years old, and he's seen a lot of the dark side of the industry. In an interview with London's Sunday Times, he says that child stars in Hollywood often become victims of "vipers" who sexually abuse them.

He said his mother protected him from becoming a victim himself, but he knows he's one of the lucky ones. "From my reading and research, I've been led down dark paths to realize that these things probably are still happening," he said. "[There are] a lot of vipers in this industry, […] there is darkness in the underbelly."

Elijah added that he worries for the child stars of today, because he thinks these abusive situations are still going on. "If you're innocent, you have very little knowledge of the world and you want to succeed, people with parasitic interests will see you as their prey," he said. "What upsets me about these situations is that the victims can't speak as loudly as the people in power."

Lately, former child stars have come out of hiding to talk about the problem of pedophilia. Several years ago, Corey Feldman said he was "surrounded" by child molesters when he got his start. BizParents, an organization that tries to protect child actors, is spreading the word and calling out Hollywood for protecting abusers. "We believe Hollywood is currently sheltering about 100 active abusers," co-founder Anne Henry told the newspaper. "The tsunami of claims has begun. This problem has been endemic in Hollywood for a long time and it's finally coming to light."

That too.. Evil doesn't want to be named. It wants more evil.

that's the 'cost' of freedom of expression


theres freedom from legal consequences,, not personal or public ones

not sure what you're replying to...

the op

people scared of their political support being public and facing public and personal consequence for it

oic... i have to agree with you there... i feel all actors and musicians should not voice their opinion on politics in public anyway, but thats not really here nor there... i just won't spend any money on the ones that piss me off anyway, but thats just the same thing as you said...

You,of course meant Cronyism or Corporatism?

Humm.. I see your point like the SheDem who was left on the highway, by the HeReb..tow truck owner. ..got it. .And the traumatized BratDems college students who had to see & wash chalk marks off, bearing the name of your future President.

Hhhaa... Got it.

Another one for the, double standard & hypocrisy archives.

What's interesting is how many celebrities aren't just shunning his parties but are actually cancelling out on appearances if Trump shares the stage. Jimmy Kimmel had Trump on as his only guest a few nights ago after all his other guests refused to appear.

Shows you just how much of a pariah Trump is. =) And in front of a nationwide audience too.

And he thinks he's going to be president. ROTFL.

It actually shows that the other guests are closed minded cowards who participate in "liberal group think" and won't go face to face with someone they don't agree with. Kind of like the way Hillary won't go face to face with any media that doesn't slant left.

I'm not a Trump fan but he doesn't avoid being confronted face to face by those who don't agree with him.

Shhh...you're gonna make em run to their safe space

Trigger-Woids!

They're calling Soros as I type this
