Hollywood’s Midterm Meltdown: ‘No Human Beings Are Illegal;’ Being Transgender the ‘Truest Form of America’s Freedom’
Less than two weeks from the most expensive and, perhaps, consequential midterm election in a generation, some of Hollywood’s most influential stars have taken to social media to spew deranged and self-centered hot takes about President Donald Trump and the issues facing the nation.
Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, among other Hollywood figures, said the thousands of migrants marching toward the U.S.-Mexico border are being used by President Trump as a “racist fear tactic to win the Midterms.”
This “caravan” has been going on for 20 years as refugees flee the violence of Guatemala, Honduras & El Salvador. Most end up in Mexico & are assisted by international refugee groups. Few walk the 1,000+ miles to the US. Trump is using this racist fear tactic to win the Midterms. pic.twitter.com/AIA8YyEqgF

Actress Bette Midler dropped this gem of a conspiracy, insisting that the people in the caravan were paid by Trump surrogates to travel to the United States.
I think #Trump had surrogates encourage (or pay) that caravan to come north so that he has something else to rail against besides Hillary and Obama! He knows his base really REALLY well!!

To the trans kids out there who are terrified by this administration, my daughter and I are with you. Your existence is the truest form of America’s freedom. You will not be erased. Not on my watch. Not on humanity’s watch. Your fight is our fight. #WontBeErased @TransEquality pic.twitter.com/B68EMLxRKl

To actor John Leguizamo, the left commits mere vandalism — except when their shooting at Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA).
But look at the acts: the left’s is vandalism. The right is attempted murder!! Neither is right but one is more wrong than the other. https://t.co/vmIwMSYFen

Actor Carl Reiner couldn’t resist comparing President Trump to Hitler.

Actress Debra Messing took time out of her busy schedule on Tuesday to tell us how good she’s feeling about herself.
Director Ken Olin urged young people to vote this midterm because they can help save us all from “authoritarianism and ecological disaster. Vote.”
To millennials that won’t vote because it’s “inconvenient”: you’ve been more fortunate than you can imagine. But our world is in a very precarious place & an hour spent voting is a deep tissue massage compared to the inconvenience of authoritarianism and ecological disaster. Vote
