A Hollywood Blacklist for Trump Backers?
For decades now, the Hollywood left has romanticized those brave Communist Party members who were blacklisted in the 1950s for refusing to cooperate with congressional investigations into their Soviet espionage. Just three years ago, Bryan Cranston was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for playing communist screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, a man so deluded that he compared North Korea’s invasion of South Korea to the 1776 American Revolution. Even now, there are two films in development that revisit the history of Roy Cohn, a lawyer for Joe McCarthy … and, later, for Donald Trump.
But the Hollywood left isn’t a fraction as tolerant of differing opinions as it likes to pretend. It can’t stand conservatives, and it especially can’t stand public supporters of President Trump. The latest example began when The Hollywood Reporter declared that President Trump would appear at a Beverly Hills reelection fundraiser on Sept. 17.
The stars of NBC’s rebooted gay-agitprop sitcom “Will & Grace” announced a new blacklist.
