Conservative actor James Woods pulled back the curtain on being a Republican in Hollywood, admitting that he has “accepted” the fact that he is blacklisted for his political views.
A supporter of President Trump and a Second Amendment advocate, Woods explained in a series of tweets on Tuesday that his politics have affected his career. He also admitted that he was once a Democrat like many of his Hollywood colleagues, but things changed when former President Bill Clinton was impeached.
James, how did you not get taken in & get fooled by the Democratic Party like so many other people?

I was for years, until #Clinton was impeached. Every single #Democrat without exception stood behind a convicted perjurer. That was the end. https://t.co/FSQpoBXAAt

Woods responded to another Twitter user who asked about the effect of conservative views on his career.
How did that affect your career?

While #Liberals scream about the 50’s blacklist, my #Repub actor friends are terrified of losing their ability to provide for their families https://t.co/MjsiUBSxB5

He also admitted that he has accepted his fate in Hollywood while many other Republicans there have chosen to remain quiet.
Are there more #Repub actors than we know, and they all just remain quiet for fear of being shunned and blacklisted?

Absolutely. The only reason I express my views is that I have accepted the fact that I’m blacklisted. Also I bought Apple stock in the 80’s https://t.co/mNGNhRmx9d

In fact, support for President Trump in conservative Hollywood circles has not waned despite how it appears. Many are, as Woods pointed out, afraid to speak up though some, like staunch Trump supporter Scott Baio, are openly touting their views.
“I don’t give a sh** about Hollywood liberals,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporter. “I don’t give a sh** if I ever work again. My country comes first.”
Actor Dean Cain told Fox News host Tucker Carlson this week that his support of Trump is “immediately met with the most crazy vitriol” in the entertainment world.
Woods, whose biting commentary on Twitter often stirs up controversy among his critics, had a few more comments about liberals as he responded to other Twitter users.

All kidding aside I have many smart liberal friends in the business and we never have problems over politics. Only stupid people are trouble https://t.co/WVlGPXFpqE

The classic liberal movement once based on human rights and dignity has been hijacked. It is now a host for the parasite of socialism. https://t.co/Ede4d0VVF1

On Wednesday, he thanked his followers with a special announcement.
