From Breitbart: Actor Zachary Levi (Shazaam, Chuck) has called on “closet conservatives” to raise their voices in Hollywood after he publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump.
Levi shared his views during an Instagram Live on Sunday in which addressed a recent claim from The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg in which she called Hollywood a “right-leaning town.” Levi disagreed, saying that he dozens of prominent people in the industry have privately messaged him about their fear to publicly say they endorse Trump.
“There’s plenty — and by the way, they have sent me lots of messages — plenty of people in my industry in Hollywood that are terrified to publicly say that they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way,” Levi said. “That’s why you don’t see them. That’s why they’re not very prevalent or prominent because they know that there’s ramifications for this kind of shit.”
“So anyway, my cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, y’all, it’s now or never, you know what I mean?” Levi continued, stressing the urgency that they need to stand up and speak out.
“Do whatever you feel like you need to do. If you need to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can’t, then don’t. I would never pressure you to do that, but know that if what you’re afraid of is somehow the backlash of an industry that’s not going to exist very soon, then don’t let that hold you back,” he warned.
Levi had publicly confirmed his endorsement for Trump last month, when he appeared at an event with former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
“My parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan Republicans,” the actor had explained. He also acknowledged that participating in the event and endorsing Trump could mean “career suicide, but showed no signs of backing down.
