Rosie O’Donnell
“The Rosie O’Donnell Show” was initially non-political for the most part, but after the Columbine shootings, O’Donnell began to speak more publicly about her views, saying, “if you do own a gun, I think you should go to prison.” After the show’s run ended, she became a co-host on “The View” and many believe that it was her influence that resulted in its more political slant, with Joy Behar also joining in. O’Donnell, of course, has been in an open feud with President Trump for years. At one of the presidential debates, Clinton listed things that Trump had said about women and Trump replied “only about Rosie O’Donnell.”
Kanye West
Kanye recently came under fire for supporting conservative commentator Candace Owens. Back in April, he tweeted, “I love the way Candace Owens thinks.” He was harshly criticized by the left. He’s never came out and actually identified himself as a conservative. It is obvious that he’s evolving in his views. He does support President Trump — half the time. He has said that it’s, “The ability to do what no one said you can do; to do the impossible” that he admires about Trump. His lyrics like, “Make America Great Again had a negative perception/I took it, wore it, rocked it, gave it a new direction” and “See, that’s the problem with this damn nation/All blacks gotta be Democrats, man/We ain’t made it off the plantation” have people thinking he’s leaning right these days.
Ann Hathaway
Anne Hathaway is no stranger to politics She rose quickly to fame as Mia Thermopolis in “The Princess Diaries,” where her character had to understand the minutiae of another country’s politics intimately with very little time. Perhaps that influenced her decision to become involved with US politics as well. Hathaway is a firm Democrat and co-hosted a fundraiser for President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, which charged $38,500 a plate. She has also been outspoken in her advocacy for universal healthcare and the reduction of income inequality. More recently, she made the news for her comments on the death of Nia Wilson and racial violence.
