Hollywood star Donnie Wahlberg dished out some serious political tweets after the New Hampshire primary that has some people wondering, and maybe even hoping … he is veering right?
No stranger to politics, and seemingly keeping his eye closely on the ever-changing political landscape, Wahlberg made some observations Tuesday that made it seem he could be rooting for one candidate.
It’s in medias interest to see @marcorubio do poorly in #NHPrimary. Because a win or second ends the suspense, and nomination is likely his.

An astute fan grabbed a screenshot of an earlier Facebook post from Wahlberg. It was there that he elaborated and praised Marco Rubio for his debate performances before his now infamous Saturday night debate flub against Chris Christie.

After Rubio’s less-than-impressive 5th place finish in the primaries were announced, Wahlberg praised the GOP contender for his classy way of handling the disappointment.
This display of humility & accountability, from @marcorubio, is what most other candidates & our country are lacking https://t.co/mtWfjHjsiJ

Not everyone was on board with Wahlberg’s praise for Rubio, and as anyone who’s ever voiced their political opinion knows, he was bound to take some heat:

@DonnieWahlberg @mike4libertyCA @marcorubio he’s against securing our borders, sickening and not PATRIOTIC.

But others viewed Rubio’s humility as a welcome change, and agreed wholeheartedly with Wahlberg.
.@DonnieWahlberg @onemoore @marcorubio Boy, do I ever agree with that. This is the man we need to lead this country.

@DonnieWahlberg @marcorubio The world needs much more of this.

@DonnieWahlberg @marcorubio Yes very admirable & a rare display of political decency.

@DonnieWahlberg @marcorubio And that attitude of humility and accountability is just what we need in a president!

Rubio may not have always been Wahlberg’s GOP favorite. In October, Wahlberg defended Carly Fiorina after the calamitous CNBC debate.
And it looks like he’s sad to hear she’s leaving the race.
Best wishes @CarlyFiorina
America may be ready for a female president but they’re definitely not ready for one who kicks as much ass as you.— Donnie Wahlberg (@DonnieWahlberg) February 10, 2016
