From Breitbart: Oscar-winning actor and conservative firebrand Jon Voight said, “I only have a few years left, and I want to spend them trying to save our American way of life.”
Asked in a wide-ranging interview with Variety if he is proud of receiving the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal from former President Donald Trump in 2019, Voight replied, “I don’t care about all that stuff. I only have a few years left, and I want to spend them trying to save our American way of life.”
“It’s slipping away forever,” the Midnight Cowboy star added.
After being asked if he believes President Trump is the equal of Abraham Lincoln in the pantheon of American presidents, Voight replied, “Absolutely. Who else has faced greater challenges and enemies since Lincoln?”
The lengthy article by Variety about Voight states that while “he campaigned for George W. Bush and Mitt Romney, it was the rise of Barack Obama that infuriated him.”
In a Fox News appearance in 2014, Voight said, “Five years ago, I stated that Obama would take the country apart piece by piece — that he would cause a civil war in this country. In hindsight, we can see how many things have come to pass.”
Just five days after the assassination attempt against Trump, Voight again spoke with Variety journalist Stephen Rodrick, who wrote:
He sees Trump’s survival as a sign and speaks of it in messianic terms. “There’s a prophet who predicted there was going to be an attempt on his life,” says Voight. “He was going to go to his knees, and during the moment he was on his knees, he was going to connect with God.”
He then mentions the evil that’s spreading across the world via satanists like Soros. He says we can too easily access it on our smartphones.
“I’m very careful about what I say. But when I see the attacks on this man, I know they’re coming from a hateful, evil place,” Voight warned.
“What do you say about Soros? That he seems normal when you talk about him? No. He bought out DAs, he bought out judges, he bought out politicians. You have to have strength. You have to be righteous,” Voight added.
Referring again to Trump, Voight told Rodrick, “I’ve been the most outspoken supporter of Donald Trump in Hollywood. I’ve been saying he’s the answer, the only answer.”
Responding to Voight’s warnings against Soros, Rodrick sneered in his report, writing, “And that’s when I give up. For all the lovely talk Voight and I had about paintings, poetry and Old Hollywood over deli sandwiches and root beers, it is now clear that he is also coming from a hateful place. He natters on about Marxists and other ghosts, but I tune him out. ”

The day after the Trump rally shooting, Voight posted a 16-second video on social media, in which he simply said, “They can’t take down the truth. President Trump won’t give up. He’ll keep rising, and help us to rise with him.”
