Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep received accolades for her portrayal of conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, but she has always been a staunch Democrat. Over the years, she has donated more than $30,000 to various Democrat candidates, including President Obama’s in 2008. She also famously condemned President Trump during the Golden Globes in 2017, though she didn’t use his name. Streep specifically derided Trumps rallies, saying elsewhere, “You can see it in the Trump rallies, where people I just know, in their living rooms, would be better people, are driven to the worst possibilities by the bloodlust in a crowd.”
James Woods
James Woods is one of Hollywood’s most well-known conservatives. Woods claims he has been “blacklisted” from Hollywood because of his often offensive views. Woods has flat out called former President Barack Obama a “true abomination,” and repeatedly accused Obama of being a Muslim (Obama is a Christian). Woods came into a huge controversy in 2017 after insulting the parents of a young child who identifies as neither a boy or girl but as “gender fluid.”
Elizabeth Banks
The “Pitch Perfect” star has always been a Democrat. In 2012, she filmed an ad for President Obama in opposition to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, discussing women’s rights issues, primarily Romney’s opposition to Planned Parenthood. In the ad, she claimed, “For that little 5 percent that Mitt Romney decides he doesn’t agree with, he’s going to take away cancer screenings. What is he doing? He’s going to take away people’s access to health care close by. We’re talking about working-class ladies who need health care. That’s it. That’s Planned Parenthood.” She continued her support at the Democratic National Convention in 2016 with a speech mocking then-candidate Trump.
