Paris Hilton
Most people don’t see celebutante Paris Hilton as a political person, but her vote for Donald Trump confirmed her place as a conservative celeb. Mostly famous for her sex tape and red carpet antics, Hilton admitted she voted for Trump in the 2016 election mainly because he is a friend of her family. When Trump confronted charges of sexual assault, Hilton said Trump’s accusers were “just trying to get attention and get fame.” Hilton’s foray into politics got interesting back in 2008 when presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain made a campaign ad comparing Barack Obama to “celebrities like Paris Hilton.” Paris responded with an ad of her own where she announced her candidacy for president and said she’s ‘totally ready to lead. I’ll see you at the debates, bitches.’
Oprah Winfrey
After her speech at the Golden Globes in January, many expected that the media queen would run for office in 2020 to oppose President Trump. While those rumors seem to have quieted down after her statement that she didn’t have the right temperament to put up with the political landscape, there was never any question about which party’s ticket she would run on. Winfrey has been a consistent Democrat for years, even though President Obama’s 2008 campaign was the first time she endorsed a political candidate. Some economists have estimated that her endorsement was responsible for at least 420,000 of Obama’s votes in the Democrat primary and might possibly have resulted in his election.
Scott Baio
Scott Baio is known worldwide as “Chachi” from the 70s TV show “Happy Days” and his own short-lived sitcom “Joanie Loves Chachi”. Now he is mostly known for being a fervent Republican and strong supporter of Donald Trump. Baio was one of the few celebrities to endorse Trump when he was running for president, and Baio was even given the opportunity to speak at the Republican National Convention, where he railed against Hillary Clinton and promised that, should Trump win, he’d “Make America Great Again.” Baio is currently often seen on Fox News, praising the president and criticizing Democratic politicians and policies.
